Uh, to create a AA DSK, just as we have a C DSK, would require the approve of the National Convention. This would also mean the creation of a physical key, etc. Once created, just like a C DSK, AA would be free to present said key to its members based on the procedures they develop, but with National guidelines (same as the C DSK).
Certainly, an AA is free to create their own DSK. Just as chapters are. Its just that such keys would be viewed as nothing more then a locally created award with no 'national standing'.
For instance, my chapter awards the C DSK. This means that other will recognize that that person has received a C DSK. My chapter could also create its own key, say the "Nova Key". Such a key would not have the same standing to others as a C DSK, and would be just another local chapter award.
