>Would you rather that we didn't have a corporate structure at all?  Or 
maybe that we had an individual corporation per kingdom?  Or maybe that 
we kept the current overarching corporation, but just scaled back on 
their expenses? If so what expenses?
I've been a member since the seventies, when officers didn't even have to be 
embers.  I don't want the corporation to go away.
I want people to understand how much of the SCA is put together by volunteers, 
o recognize that we are, first and foremost, a co-op, and we all have to work 
ogether for it to thrive.
I want the corporation to act like it's a support organization, not an owner.
I want Ansteorra to own the Ansteorran crowns and thrones.
I want the Corporation's activities scaled back to fit the budget, not the 
ncome sources scaled up to meet the desired activities.
Ideally, I'd like separate regional and local corporations with financial 
utonomy, so the SCA is not a fat, rich target for lawyers.
I'd like the BoD members to stay in people's homes instead of hotels when they 
old meetings, since the supposed purpose is for us to get to know them better.
I want to move the corporation out of one of the most expensive cities in the 
ountry.
I want the absurd increase in paperwork in the last seven to ten years scaled 
ack, so small towns can support branches again.  
I want the corporation to be a support for our kingdoms, rather than the current 
rain.
And I want a mansion and a yacht.
