Fronz Posted October 2, 2009 Report Share Posted October 2, 2009 (edited) some tl:dr me the changes to the charter? since i authored the original version *pins a star of prestige on his t-shirt * at glance it looks like they took out admin council/high council executive orders, made the AC terms longer, declaring war is no longer unanimous, and de-formalized the language of the charter. anyhoo, congrats on elections.
