Hi everyone - here's the outline I'm going to work from to create the rule changes we'll discuss at the meeting. I've compiled this from the forum postings, email, PMs, and verbal discussions I've had with some of you.
If you've submitted a change before last Sunday, please make sure one of these categories covers it. I'll create the detailed summary over the next few days.
