The registration agreement can be changed through the Admin > Members > registration section of the administration center.

Go ahead and work on this one, too. I'm updating the spreadsheet to show which docs are assigned to you.
Let's remove the links for now. Also, try not to use quotes. :)

I used the original as a template for the new one as I assumed that's what you wanted. Thus it included the original links for cross reference. The original used quotation marks either side of the word News - see the original above - I forgot to change it. I have replaced that with italics.

That's perfectly fine. :)

The links in 2.x docs are going to be different from the links in the 1.x docs, so let's just remove them for now. We can add them back in later.

Italics is the preferred method there, so that's great. Unfortunately, the 1.x docs don't all follow the documentation guidelines we have posted in this board. So, you'll probably have to keep an eye out for things like that. :)
As for the doc itself, it looks good for the most part. I have a few suggestions, though. Let's try to reword the first sentence, so we can get the "if the registration agreement is enabled" out of parentheses. Also, all elements of menu paths (like Admin > Members > Registration) should be capitalized. The only other small things I would do are more personal preference. I would probably change "stickies" to "sticky topics" and "News section" to "News ticker."
Not bad for your first (second?) doc. :)
