Process
Anyone may propose a change to any element, weight or band. Every change follows the same route in public, and the Council publishes what it refuses to do alongside what it will. Until the founding board is seated there is no board to vote, so Version 1.0 stays a draft and every proposal goes into the record the board will read first.
Anyone may submit a change in writing, naming the section or element, the problem it causes in a real event, and the replacement text.
Accepted proposals are published for a 30 day comment period before any vote. Comments and the council's responses are published alongside the proposal.
The board votes in the open and records the count. A director with an interest in the outcome declares it and does not vote. No board is seated yet, so nothing has been adopted and Version 1.0 remains a draft.
Adopted changes ship as a new version with a dated changelog. The superseded version stays online at its own address, so a past event's results stay readable against the rules it actually used.
Limits
A standards body is defined as much by what it refuses as by what it publishes. These are commitments, not descriptions of current circumstances.
Propose a change
Name the element or the band, the problem it caused at a real show, and the replacement wording you would put in its place. Section 1.2, the health limits, is the section the Council most wants argued with while it is still a draft, and a clinician's objection outranks the Council's own drafting.
