Changes can only be made in accordance with the charter. I personally 
have no intention of joining any society that doesn't have some sort of 
opt-out clause built into it unless there's a very good reason to do 
so. On the other hand, there might someday be a very good reason to do 
so. So why forbid it?

If nothing else, Dave will have the power to veto a change if e thinks 
it's overly restrictive; but e shouldn't have to use that.
