[Proposal] Kindred of the Ebony Kingdom Legacies Proposal

NOTE: This as a regular proposal. I am asking for a Second to this Proposal in the first week of discussion, after which it would go to vote by council.======================================================================
Kindred of the Ebony Kingdom Legacies Proposal

Bloodlines from the Kindred of the Ebony Kingdom book, known as Legacies or collectively as Liabon, are poorly regulated in OWBN. Very few Legacies travel from Africa and those that do so are very rare. These Legacies are highly unlikely to be present in OWBN games or trust another Kindred to teach any abilities, lores or disciplines. There are significant differences between OWbN genre and that of the Ebony Kingdoms making it unacceptable to request education in lore and disciplines except under the rarest of circumstances. These lores and disciplines are inappropriate to accepted genre and game play. This proposition was written prior to the recently passed Rare and Unusual Bylaws. It has been revised however if there are any discrepancies I failed to convert accurately, please notify me with corrections so that I may address them in a timely manner. Tables are not email friendly thus the tables are written in sentence format. It is expected any changes will simply be added to the tables in the bylaws if this proposition passes. Three areas of the R&U bylaws would require changes as detailed below. ======================================================================
Therefore I propose:
Rare and Unusual Bylaw 4.K be created stating:

Further:

Any character that is a Kindred of the Ebony Kingdom Legacy/Liabon currently in existence are not Grandfathered, and must be propped to council. Existing and former characters used in any game must be notified to the appropriate Genre Coordinator with details of the character including but not limited to: PC or NPC, length of existence, whether the character taught any disciplines or otherwise served as a mentor, and to whom the recipient was.

This is an exception to paragraph 9 Grandfathering, to provide council visibility on characters and disciplines derived from Kindred of the Ebony Kingdom material.
