Is their any thought that USMS may change its more stringent requirements? It appears from That Guy's prior post that you've at least talked about the issue. I suppose the same thing could happen at Worlds in Italy this summer.
The Records & Tabulation Committee will be talking about it, sure. But the most we could do -- and it depends on the committee's willingness of course -- is propose a rule change. The Rules Committee then gets it and then votes whether or not to recommend adoption; they might also also make amendments (substantial or otherwise) and recommend whether or not to adopt the amended version. The House of Delegates then votes on the proposed rule(s). If the Rules Committee recommends adoption, then a simple majority passes the rule; if not, the bar is higher (I can't remember what...maybe two-thirds majority?).
Of course, LMSCs can also propose rule changes and submit them to the Rules Committee, it isn't as if one has to wait for Records and Tabulation. The Rules Committee might ask our opinion of any proposals that affect our "domain" and might take that opinion into consideration.
I wasn't at the Convention when they passed the current version of the rule so I don't know anything of the discussion at the time or the legislative history, such as it is.
