I agree, it is unfortuneate that the rules currently put it under the perview of the KEM, and that the Earl Marshallate has specific requirements that can make it a hassle to pull off.  However with the exception of getting a waiver from the KEM, or meeting the current requirements, it would have to be done outside the SCA (aka as a different group).  Going forward there should be much discussion as to clarifying the rules, and getting the BoD to pass a working provision for A&S; but mainly what has to be accomplished for *THIS* demo ot happen needs to be done instead of lawyering the rules.  In the words of Larry the Cable Guy, "GET'ER DONE!"
