[MR] My thoughts on proposed chages in

[Arthur Donadio]

Your Excellency,
 
The grandfather clause is not written in the law because it already exists at a Society level.  It is sloppy writing to duplicate what exists elsewhere.  This is referenced in the FAQ, including a link to that heraldic precedent.
 
As Sir Bryce pointed out, a dedicated email address was established for feedback on this issue, and I encourage all who have comments to send them to feedbackatlantia AT gmail DOT com.
 
Kind Regards,
Padraigin
