Chief's Status

Cool Chief recently inquired about his "Jake Status" at the card game the other day. He is questioning the fact that TP is a "Full" (Partner) member while he remains a mere "Associate" member. He brings up a valid point insomuch as TP has only been around since '96 or '97 and he (Chief) has made it to all subsequent Jake Day's except our inaugural voyage in 1992.

In the absence of the official forms filled out (in triplicate), please consider this thread to openly discuss Chiefy's prospects for becoming a Full (Partner) member.

I'll have to check the by-laws but is it a 2/3rds majority from the Founders (6 to 3) to make this kind of decision or maybe it's just more than 1/2 (5 to 4)?
