Has that deadline passed? Or do you anticipate there will be a vote brought forth at Convention 2015 to repeal this decision?

The conventions are in summer, so less than 40% of the time from the last convention to the next has taken place. Having the limit on new bylaws already pass seems prohibitive.
On another topic, according to

Since it was known prior to the 2013 convention that Brad Cohen was the only candidate running for Supreme Archon and he lived in Newport Beach, that this mean that the 2015 convention *must* be held in Newport Beach. Is this correct that the convention is held in the city that the current Supreme Archon lives in? And if so, what if someone lives in an area of the country where there is no place to assemble large enough for the convention representatives (say northern Wyoming)
Alpha Phi Omega has gone to the other extreme, the board has basically gone through all of the possible cities looking for hotel or hotel/convention center combinations that are large enough to host (meeting space for 1500, etc) and *only* those cities can be bid, so that for example, the only possible way to have the convention in Virginia would be to have it in the DC Suburbs.
