    Not that I remember, I wasn't even aware that it's possible (somehow
    Mr. Ritter slipped my attention). <br>
    <br>
    But if the requirement has been already set in the bylaws, I believe
    whoever signs the IPR and requests it should be added without
    further discussion. According to the bylaws.<br>
