I, Jason Craft, CM for Shadows of Saint Louis would like to propose a change to the Administrative Bylaw.

Reasoning: We currently don't have any rules that prevent denial of entry based on discrimination.  Our current code of conduct stops verbal and physical harassment but does not prevent games from refusing admittance to individuals based on race, color, religion, sex, national origin, age (40 or older), disability, medical history, or genetic information of the player.  This is not intended to extend to character concepts.

Before:
1. E.  Denying Entry
i. The Storytellers of individual Chronicles have the right to ban any player from their game.
1. Any player banned from a chronicle must be announced on the OWBN-ST and OWBN-Council lists, and the player should be notified, if possible.
2. If the ban is the result of a chronicle disciplinary action, the disciplinary action shall be submitted separately as per Section 8.D.iii.5.
ii. The Storytellers of individual Chronicles have the right to ask a player to temporarily alter his or her sheet or item cards, or take other actions to be allowed entry into the Chronicle.
iii. The Storytellers of individual Chronicles have the right to deny a character entry into game-play. When doing so, the Storytellers should clearly communicate the reason the entry is being denied to the player.

After:
1. E.  Denying Entry
i. The Storytellers of individual Chronicles have the right to ban any player from their game.
1. Any player banned from a chronicle must be announced on the OWBN-ST and OWBN-Council lists, and the player should be notified, if possible.
2. If the ban is the result of a chronicle disciplinary action, the disciplinary action shall be submitted separately as per Section 8.D.iii.5.
ii. The Storytellers of individual Chronicles have the right to ask a player to temporarily alter his or her sheet or item cards, or take other actions to be allowed entry into the Chronicle.
iii. The Storytellers of individual Chronicles have the right to deny a character entry into game-play. When doing so, the Storytellers should clearly communicate the reason the entry is being denied to the player.
iv. Denial of entry shall not be predicated based on race, color, religion, sex (including pregnancy, sexual orientation, or gender identity), national origin, age (40 or older), disability, medical history, or genetic information of the player.
