At the Oct 2011 Board meeting, in response to a formal request from An Tir and a 
substantial amount of related correspondence from our membership, we committed 
to crafting proposed language to allow same-gender consorts at the Crown/Coronet 
List level to send out for commentary. This topic is clearly emotionally charged 
for many people, whether for or against the change. We do not have clear 
direction from a majority of participants based on either the Census data or the 
correspondence received to date. 
 
 
 
The Board therefore solicits commentary on the following potential language 
change to its governing documents in hopes of eliciting commentary and direction 
from the membership: 
 
Current language:  
Each competitor in a Royal Lists must be fighting for a consort of the opposite 
gender. 
 
Proposed Language: 
Each competitor in a Royal Lists must be fighting for a consort of the opposite 
gender.  Crowns may permit entry into the Royal Lists by same-gender couples. 
 
Comments on this proposal are due by April 1, 2012.  Please use the title 
"Same-Gender Consort Proposal" in the Subject line.
