Well, there are really no "rules" the wwAC wields over TEC, so TEC's rules would win out. The *only* element that could be played here is TEC's constitution which *defines* TEC as a member of the wwAC. I have no idea whether that would be used to any effect in a court of law.
It is obvious that you're an insider and I'm an outsider -- you are far more acronymble than I!
