It seems pretty clear that a change to the Standard (or the Bylaws) requires a 2/3rds affirmative vote of the membership. I think the membership did vote to change the standard last year. I may be wrong, but I think there were two or three amendments to change the standard. I seem to think they passed. Evan L.
