Well, that certainly isn't why this is being proposed - we may (as a Fraternity) find that the current rotation schedule doesn't work, or should be modified or whatever. Certainly, under the provisions of the proposed language for the Fraternity Operations and Policy Manual, the Board *could * amend that policy (assuming it's moved from the bylaws to the FOPM), but I don't know that anyone is actually suggesting that it be changed (I certainly am not._ And, of course, if by some chance the Board were to move or change the rotation schedule, the Convention (again, under the provisions of the proposed language) could simply change that policy.
It really is, to me, a technical issue, and of course, you'll note that the selection of the convention city is still the prerogrative of the National Convention. I only proposed this item to the Board because it seemed to be a technical issue and could use some flexibility if needed (that the bylaws don't allow.)
I'd hope it would pass but, honestly, the sun won't rise or set on the adoption/rejection of this particular portion of the larger amendment.
