[Ansteorra-announce] [Announcements] proposed change to Corpora X.B.2.

[Baron, Meg]

Unto the members 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.B.2, paragraph 3, currently reads as follows:

The Board will not automatically review Administrative Sanctions; however, members may appeal an Administrative Sanction to the Board as provided in Corpora I.C.3.  If upon appeal the Board determines that a sanction is without merit or has been unfairly imposed, the sanction will be lifted and the officer that imposed it may be subject to sanctions.

Proposed change (additions in ALL CAPS): 

The Board will not automatically review Administrative Sanctions BELOW THE SOCIETY LEVEL; however, members may appeal an Administrative Sanction to the Board as provided in Corpora I.C.3.  If upon appeal the Board determines that a sanction is without merit or has been unfairly imposed, the sanction will be lifted and the officer that imposed it may be subject to 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
