According to the VOTE that the EC had the new rules passed, and they became effective as of that point in time. I have spoken directly with my VP who was opposed to the rules from the start and voted nay to the rules. He stated his reasoning to me and for one small point that "he" wants adjusted the rules could pass "again". It seems to me that the rules have already passed and that the "adjustment" that they want could be done during the December 7th EC meeting. It appears that Dave Brown has a personal opinon in this and while he does not have a vote on the EC he effectively does by coercing an "emergency" vote. Contact your VP's and let them know we are out here. Even if you are not a Turbine guy your area of interest in the hobby could be next.
