I guess this kills an I&PS: [...] "All members must have an equal say in the
running of the society." [...] We didn't want to be 100% democratic for good
reasons. An I&PS would enforce that, or am I reading this wrong?

Why not? Yes, I know we need another form first and can only do that after
several years of building a good reputation. But why not as a goal for the
long term future?

Hmmm... I guess, that leaves me voting for a Friendly Society unless other
arguments come up.

Bye,
