The intent of the Grand Master level is good. However, it does not cover all bases. This would be rather difficult in a bylaws document.
For example, would appearance in a DIY TV show count as a demo/instruction? Obviously, the intent was there, but the wording is not.
Same with the AAW, which is NOT international, while IAP is. Would holding office in the Australian equivalent count?
The solution I propose is to allow awards for achievements that in the opinion of the officers would be EQUIVALENT and meet the INTENT of the wording in the bylaws.
A significant contribution to the craft could be an INVENTION of great merit. This is not covered in the rules.
We simply cannot anticipate every possible situation. I think a panel or commitee should consider each award individually, and determine if it suits the INTENT of the program.
