Greetings from the Assembly of Consuls,

The Assembly has been very busy this past week with proposals going back and forth. We have been discussing a lot of interesting ideas, and putting a lot of those ideas into action. Some of the things we've been discussing:

• Medals in the Brotherhood. Along these lines, the AoC proposed a change in the requirements for the War Cross and Bronze Scroll. Because of your friendly neighborhood consuls, they are now open to ALL orders. The AoC is also running ideas back and forth about some different types of medals we need. We hope to get Howie on the list sometime this week to get him in the discussion.

• Vendetta related items. The AoC has been discussing various ways to improve the Vendetta situations. We have been working on getting some preventative clauses put into the DSC regarding the Vendetta.

• Clan-run Competitions. The AoC has been toying around with the idea of taking a load off the DGM's shoulders by running its own compettiion after the Vendetta. More to come later.

• Ranks. The AoC has been talkig about the distribution of ranks and the value of some ranks. We are currently discussing a way to make Dark Jedi Primarch and active rank again.

The Assembly would like to hear your ideas. If you want to comment on the above subjects or have something that you would like to see done in the DB, talk to your Consul or ProConsul.

In Darkness,
