Thanks Patrick; my only concern was that the rules, and statements of goals/purposes, should not be changed so as to prevent a MS from existing before a TC is created, or after its affiliated TCs close. Of course, a given MS could *choose* to impose similar constraints, as a one-off, in its own RoP. Jamie .
