I think this document reflects our style and our needs at this point in 
time. Having spent decades within communities, I've seen communities 
grow in both positive and negative ways. The original guidelines 
sometimes hinder the future state of affairs. I think we should be 
mindful of that, and be ready to adapt and change as we mature.

Thanks for pushing this forward,

Cameron
