Online Constitution Updated

Taking a break from the CFCL trade fest (complete with running Critique Commentary from the Bull Braintrust), I'm happy to announce that the CFCL's online Constitution has received its first update in quite a while.

For the past couple years, we've been operating under a set of rules (including a whole new salary/contract notation) that wasn't fully reflected in the published Constitution. I've been spending my time lately updating the Constitution to reflect our current rule set, the results are now posted online: http://home.comcast.net/~dmahlan/constitution/const-fm.htm

In particular, be sure to check out Article VII., which provides a key to deciphering all those numbers, letters, and symbols that appear with the salaries on our rosters.  I've also added other notes and explanations as needed where the EC has clarified issues over the past couple years.

More revisions/clarifications may be coming, as Rich and Michael are currently reviewing the Constitution for other potential revisions, but the CFCL has waited long enough for a key to the contract indicators so I didn't want to wait to get it posted.

Finally, note that the PDF version of the Constitution that is available in the Download Center is still the old version.  This will be updated within a few days - I will post a notice when it is ready.

If you discover any problems with the Constitution, have trouble understanding any of the additions, or find anything missing, please let the Executive Committee know.
