Each Amendment will be considered and voted on separately by the Supreme Council at the 104th Anniversary International Convention in Las Vegas, Nevada on August 4, 2017. 

Amendment 1 will be considered and voted on by the 2017 Supreme Council prior to, and in order to take full force and effect with regards to, the election of the Supreme Board of Governors. For avoidance of doubt, the election of the Supreme Scribe, Supreme Exchequer and Supreme Sentinel at the 2017 Supreme Council would be subject to the terms of Amendment 1 contained herein.
