| Ajah Benefits |
|
Circa January 25th, 2007, the Council of Youth raised the possibility of barring members from claiming Ajah Benefits from Ajahs other than their own. This was overturned in favour of remaining with the current system. The Council of Youth expressed mixed feelings concerning the policy of allowing bondmates to get benefits from other Ajahs at a reduced rate.

The Council of Youth agreed with a related proposal that spears, lances, staves, etc., be lumped into a larger 'polearm' group, much like the current sword group.

| The Great Stair - Review |
Circa April 1st, 2006, Dedicated Lembirt Antii summarised the previous proposal for ease of submission to the Hall of Sitters.
Further concerns/ideas were raised by Accepted Chyane Liale, Accepted Liana en'Damier, and Dedicated Lembirt Antii, as follows:
- should a testee be aware that he/she is being tested?
- that an emphasis should be placed not upon channeling strength, as at the White Tower, but 'channeling cunning.'
- that the great stair should be a test of character where testees are confronted with situations they would rather not be in.
Dedicated Lembirt Antii also offered to submit a test following new guidelines as a trial for a new test format.

| The Hall of Justice |
Circa June 2nd, 2006, Dedicated Lagon Darith, Dedicated Lembirt Antii, Accepted Chyane Liale, and Accepted Liana en'Damier raised concerns that:
- the Judges of the Hall of Justice have too much power over the procedings, OOCly
- the iability to remove councillors could result in disaster if one of them turned out to be a co-conspirator
- the Blue Ajah had too much control over a system that was only implimented in the event of tower-wide incidents
- in light of the fact that these being tried would likely be expelled from the tower OOCly and ICly, it would be very difficult to expect an orderly trial OOCly
Several of these concerns were eased in light of revised wording to the Hall of Justice proposal.

| The Test for Raising to AS/AM |
Circa April 12th, 2006, Accepted Zuri Kiyori, Accepted Liana en'Damier, and Dedicated Lembirt Antii agreed on a proposal to the Hall concerning the
Great Stair test on the grounds that the current test created character restrictions and unrealistic writing. The proposal stated that:
- writers should be able to chose from a list of scenarios the one that best suited their characters, or invent their own scenario as long as it
represented the Ajah in question.
there would be an additional scene added for each step in which the testee would have to form a complicated weave under pressure, a la New Spring.
- the idea that a write not have to write all fourteen scenes, but rather 4-5 of each, was considered but not concretely included as a part of the proposal
