Only if you push the net down is it a fault. If you change the height of it. 11.3 CONTACT WITH THE NET 11.3.1 Contact with the net by a player is not a fault, un- less it interferes with the play. 11.3.2 Players may touch the post,ropes,or any other object outside the antennae, including the net itself, provid- ed that it does not interere with play. 11.3.3 When the ball is driven into the net, causing it to touch an opponent, no fault is committed. This is all I could find in the 2013 rulebook

That rule references this one (which is on the same page):
11.4.4 A player interferes with the opponent’s play by (amongst others): – touching the top band of the net or the top 80 cm of the antenna during his/her action of playing the ball, or – taking support from the net simultaneously with playing the ball, or – creating an advantage over the opponent by touching the net, or – making actions which hinder an opponent’s legitimate attempt to play the ball.

FIVB is seriously starting to annoy me. Does any other sport (intend to) change rules that often?? And I hate how they only consider the highest level in their rule changes and completely forget about the millions of amateur and youth players out there who would be negatively affected by many of the intended rule changes. I didn't want to type out the entire article, but you pretty much nailed it. Most of these are changes intended primarily for Men's international volleyball. The NFL, NBA, NHL & MLB have their own rule sets which they change all the time. They don't feel the need to compel kids leagues to play by those same rules. You know, because they are smart enough to realize that different ages have different needs.

Having back row attackers land behind the 3m line has been talked about for awhile, and I believe (but not positive) even tested in some tournaments. I do remember watching when they tested that all hitters must jump from behind the 3m line on SR...was interesting to watch, but quickly abandoned.

Too many missed serves is really making the men's international game less attractive; the smart reaction would be to give the receiving team a point for a missed serve, but have neither team rotate, and force the server to serve again. The glut of back-to-back-to-back service errors would end quickly, and you wouldn't need to change where jump-servers need to land.
Interesting that they've liberalized the net and under rules significantly over the past few years, despite protests that it would make the game more dangerous, and now they are considering going back the other way. Some of the other changes are designed to fix things that aren't that broken. And most of these changes would make the game a lot worse at the lower levels (as people have pointed out), forcing all of our different rule-sets (club, HS, men's NCAA, women's NCAA) to have even more differences from the FIVB rule-set (and probably from each other). As a juniors/HS coach, I say yuck.
