[Ansteorra-announce] [Announcements] Comments Requested - Proposed Addition to Corpora

[Leslie Luther-Fulton]

Proof of membership has long been a requirement for sitting royalty, and a 
lapse in membership during a reign automatically resulted in termination.  
In order to bring officer requirements into line, the addition to Corpora of 
items I.D.2.a and I.D.2.b has been proposed:


D.   Membership Requirements
1.      General
Participants should expect to show proof of membership in order to qualify 
for member privileges. The level of proof required should be commensurate 
with the long-term risk to the Society posed by an erroneous claim to 
membership.
2.      Officers
Officers at all levels of the Society must be Society members as defined in 
the Glossary and must have immediate access to the corporate newsletter for 
their area received at their residence. (Alternate access arrangements may 
be made for members of affiliated organizations or on a case-by-case basis 
for people with post office boxes and for International Members.) This 
standard also applies to deputies designated as successors to officers 
subject to this provision, or assigned independent administrative duties. 
Deputies who only assist with specific tasks are exempt from the newsletter 
access requirement.
a. The warrants and/or appointments of officers found to be without a valid 
membership shall be considered terminated as of the date of the lapse.
b. Warrants terminated due to a lapse in membership may or may not be 
reinstated upon demonstration of a valid membership at the pleasure of the 
warranting authority and within the confines of the governing documents and 
kingdom law.


The Board requests comments from the membership regarding this proposed 
revision no later than May 1, 2007. Please send them to: Corpora Revision
