That's not where we diverge. I don't know how the other disciplines work but, in my timeon the scale committee, rule changes come from the field (usually as a result of a best practices observed at a large event), and are sent through the committee to vote on.

I understand that certain individuals may attempt to circumvent this, or some groups may attempt to stack committees (hence the new limits on # of members by zone rule) but, this is not, nor should it be, business as usual.
