[Ansteorra-announce] [Announcements] Proposed change to Corpora X.A.

[Baron, Meg]

Unto the membership of the SCA, greetings:

At its March conference call, the Board of Directors enacted a number of 
changes to the sections of the governing documents dealing with sanctions 
against individuals.  These changes had been put out to the membership for 
comment, and a number of very thoughtful comments were sent in.   The Board 
wishes to thank all those who took the time to send us their input; several 
of the suggestions that involved minor word changes for clarity were 
incorporated into the final version.

However, a few changes that the Board thought were well worth considering 
were deemed too substantive to enact without requesting comment on those 
specific changes.  One of those proposed changes appears below:


Corpora X.A., paragraph 1, currently reads as follows:

Royalty may sanction subjects of the realm and visitors thereto, for just and stated cause.  Royal Sanctions are in effect from the moment of proclamation, but a notice must be published in the next available issue of the kingdom newsletter if the sanction is to remain in effect.  The specific cause and occasion of the sanction must be explained in writing to the sanctioned individual, but must not be published in the kingdom newsletter or otherwise made public.  

Proposed addition to the end of the above paragraph: 

Baronial Coronets may not impose sanctions directly, but may request that the Crown and/or Principality Coronet impose sanctions.

Commentary on this proposed change to the Governing Documents is due by July 31, 2005. 

Comments are strongly encouraged and can be sent to: 
SCA Inc.
Box 360789
Milpitas,  CA 95036
