limitations. 
	> 
	> 2A. Amend the USML C onstitution by adding the following
provision: 
	> 
	> "From the commencement of the USML auction until June 1, if a
player whose USML

to be in the first

acquiring owner rosters

	> 2B. Amend the constitution by adding the following provision: 
	> 
	> "From the commencement of the USML auction until June 1, a
team can not trade a 
	> player whose USML contract is not running." 
	> 
	> For purposes of making the decision easy, vote for either 1
(Constitution 
	> unmodified) or 2 (Constitution modified). If you vote for 2,

	> I believe that there is a consensus regarding the wisdom of
amending the USML

adopted in 4 of the

controversial
