While supporting the aims of the amendment, I find the wording ambiguous.  
To me "living heritage systems" would imply zoos, acquaria and National Parks 
rather than intangible cultural heritage.  Inserting "cultural" between "living" and 
"heritage" would remove this possible miss-interpretation.

Amendment to the ICOM Statutes:

          Article 2 * definitions 1. Should be enhanced to
          include a new sub-clause numbered ix as follows:
          
          ix. cultural centres that are not for profit
          institutions engaged in the preservation,
          continuation and management of living heritage
          systems
          
          NB. The existing viii would become ix and the new
          clause is introduced as new text viii.
