[Ansteorra-announce] Feedback to the Board..

[Pug Bainter]

Good Morning,

  As many of you noticed, you just received 3 announcements from the Board
  of Directors of the SCA, Inc. These announcements are asking for your
  feedback. Give it now.

  There is something that many of you may not realize. The Board of
  Directors get very little feedback from the members and participants
  of this game we call the SCA. This means in many instances they are
  making decisions in a void. Sometimes these decisions may greatly affect
  how we play the game.

  If you are not willing to tell the Board your opinion, don't be willing
  to bitch about their decisions later. *grin*

  Because of this I am taking it upon myself to keep the electronic
  populace of this Kingdom informed of what is going on and how to
  give feedback. If the members of this Kingdom voice their words to the
  Board on the proposals they are putting out, it is possible that our
  Kingdom would help set the tone of how this game is played and ran.
  This is definitely something that I see as being for the vest.

  The current items in front of the board are:

Grand Council Proposal on Sanctions and Royal Justice - Due April 1, 2002
  This is a restructuring of sanctions and banishments. Long read, but
  well worth it in my biased opinion. (I'm the Kingdom Appointee for the
  Grand Council.)

Petition from Nine Crows for Board members to be chosen by the
  individual Kingdoms - Due April 1, 2002
  This is a restructuring of how Board members are chosen and allowing
  the Kingdoms to set their own rules for choosing their members.

Membership Rate Restructuring Proposal - Due June 15, 2002
  Possible unbundling of TI, possible the Kingdom Newsletter, possible
  across the board rate increase, possible methods for increasing membership
  numbers.

Corpora change regarding Royal Lists - Due July 1, 2002
  State that the Royal Lists must be done by single combat.

Copora change regarding "Events - Duty to Enforce Requirements" - Due
  July 1, 2002
  Clarification of officers dealing with violations of modern law.

Copora change regarding Policy on Alcohol - Due July 1, 2002
  Merging existing policy into the Governing Documents for easy location.

  If you'd like to read more about these items, they are found at:

  The three most recent announcements are not there yet, but will be
  shortly. To give feedback on any of the proposals, send them via email
  to comments at sca.org. I have sent my commentary on all of these already
  and am looking forward to this Kingdom's voice being heard.

  I will be sending out messages like this at regular intervals when
  things are awaiting feedback from the populace.

In service,
