[Administrative Proposal] Removal of a Duplicate in the R&U Rare Categories.

This does not require a Second, but if you do not agree you may put Objection in the subject line to force this Proposal to go to a vote.====================================================================

With the passing of the proposal to clarify compliance to changes in PCs that are affected by the R&U Bylaws (included below), I hereby propose that the following duplicate should be removed from the R&U Bylaws:

"Assamite Dispossesed to Loyalist" (Rare)

because

"Assamite Loyalist" is (also) already Rare, and any conversion to being an Assamite Loyalist must comply to those regulations, reguardless of their previous allegiences.

Thank you.

Jenn Louise
OWbN Head Coordinator
