The significance of the CON and the changes it produced are too much to consider here but it gave the UFOP councils new structure and definite operating rules. The UEC became known as the '''[[Executive Council]]''' (EC) and the Captains Council remained the same. Magistrates were appointed in each council to direct discussion and handle the issue of voting. Last and by no means least, the CON allowed for a set of related bylaws to be established. These bylaws were designed to pad out the CON, which was deliberately more of a framework for the group rather than a complete guide to everything UFOP.

Since the CON was ratified, UFOP has enjoyed some semblance of stability. The group's membership has plateaued at approximately 150 members, and ship count fluctuates from around 8 to 12. Those problems that have been encountered have been dealt with using the CON as a rulebook. The EC is happy to report continued success and productivity among both members and command.
