Several terms ago, I went through all the CDS covenants because they were inconsistent, and we were spending a lot of time explaining things that should have been easy to find on our land tabs to both old and new citizens. (For example, some didn't realize there were ownership limitations, new avatars often thought there was no obligation to pay tier once they had purchased land (check, or covenants don't mention it!) and at the time, the NFS covenant tab only pointed to a website we were no longer using. We are long overdue for covenant review, and as we consider new land, it makes sense to begin the process of updating the existing ones.
Rather than recreate the wheel, I have opened the documents from that review. Moon went through these at the time, and while there are no comments, I believe Sudane Erato and Jamie Palisades did as well.... they always had access to the documents. Clearly a couple of things have changed since this review, (i understand there is something posted in NFS now) but this is a starting place for discussion. Hopefully the end result will be legislation for covenant update prior to the end of the term, or purchase of new sims, if any.

NB: At the time of this review, there were no covenants for the Monastery. The covenants in place there now are temporary, and they should also be reviewed, made consistent with the rest of the estate, and finalized.
