To: All GGCs & JGCs:
From: Board of Trustees
At Supreme Session 2016, the body voted to accept the reformat of the Constitution & Bylaws of the Supreme Guardian Council and allow enabling legislation to begin the streamlining of all language through 2019.
The notice is to advise you that all GGCs/JGCs must reformat their Rules and Regulations by July 1, 2017.
In order to assist you in this endeavor, the Board of Trustees has tasked the Strategic Planning Implementation Group and Supreme Jurisprudence to assist the GGCs/JGCs and they are providing you the following information on the Strategic Planning page on the website;
- Instructions to complete reformat
- Mapping document that identifies the new location of language that has been reclassified
- Reformatted Constitution, Bylaws, and Standard Operating Procedures
- Schedule of GGCs/JGCs and when reformatted documents are due to Supreme Jurisprudence
| Reformatted Law Due to Supreme Jurisprudence | Due Date |
| December 31, 2016 | Illinois Queensland Kansas Oregon Utah Wisconsin |
| January 30, 2017 | British Columbia Colorado Idaho Maryland Virginia Washington |
| February 28, 2017 | California Minnesota Nebraska South Dakota Wyoming |

| April 30, 2017 | Bahia Ceara Sao Paulo Minas Gerais Rio Grande Do Norte Phillippines |

If you complete you reformat sooner than your due date, please feel free to submit it early for approval from Supreme Jurisprudence.
When submitting your reformatted rules & regulations, please submit through the SPIG email address below. This will help keep track of all jurisdictions as they submit their information and help to separate this work from the standard work that Jurisprudence completes throughout the year.
If you have any questions, as you work through the reformat, please contact the Strategic Planning Implementation Group Liaison, Donna Naessig, at drn4jdi@gmail.com /714-397-3092 or the Supreme Jurisprudence Liaison, Darrell Vierling, at dtvierling44@gmail.com/309-657-2713.
