[Ansteorra-announce] [Announcements] President's Report - Q1 07 BoD Mtg, 1/31/07 Conference Call, 3/5/07 Conference Call

[Jason Williams]

Unto the membership of the Society for Creative Anachronism,

Below is the most recent President's report, containing results of the Q1
2007 BoD meeting in San Diego, the January 31, 2007 conference call and
the March 5, 2007 conference call.

Please accept our apologies for the tardiness of this report. It was our
intent to combine the results of the meeting in San Diego with the
conference call that followed shortly on its heels into one report, thus
cutting down on the number of President's reports released. Several items
were remanded to a later conference call (3/5) and we again held the
release of the report pending more complete information for the
membership.

These delays are not fair to you, and in the future, we will simply
release each President's report approximately 10 working days after each
meeting or conference call.

Yours,

Jason Williams - Chairman, SCA, Inc.
(Duke John ap Gwyndaf, KSCA, OL)

NY), the Shire of Gryffon’s Keep (Fayette County, PA) and the Shire of
Westland Mor (Greensburg, PA). The Board also took note that the following
three branches have dissolved, the Canton of Wintersedge (Springville, NY
& Vicinity), the Shire of the Wastelands (Enid, OK), and the Shire of Dun
an Chalaidh (Lincoln County, OR).

OLD BUSINESS

2007 Budget

The Board approved the draft 2007 budget.

Unofficial Entities (Guild Proposal)

By consensus, Chairman Williams ordered the Corpora I.E. Proposed Change –
Unofficial Entities, which would permit certain entities such as guilds,
to become official entities of the SCA, be returned to the Society
Exchequer and Seneschal for further work.

NEW BUSINESS

Governing Documents Revision – Membership Requirements

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:

	Corpora currently states:

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.

The following addition is proposed:

	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.

By consensus, Chairman Williams ordered this item put before the
membership for comment. Commentary shall be due by May 1, 2007.

Medieval Times Curriculum

By consensus the Board approved “Medieval Times Curriculum” as presented,
to be distributed to teachers for use in classes about the medieval time
period.

REPORTS

Interim President—Patrick Anderson (Gabriel andvaka Kjotvason)

Report filed.

Vice President of Operations (Society Seneschal) – George Reed (Aaron
faheud Swiftrunner of the Stone Keep)

The Board signed the warrants of several investigative staff members. The
Board also signed the warrant for Nedra K. Dunton (Ardenia A Ruadh), the
new Society Youth Activities Coordinator.

The Board upheld the following policy interpretations of the Society
Seneschal:
a.	Are warranted Kingdom Officers obliged to accept warranted service from
all who volunteer?
Ruling: NO. The warranting authority for any volunteer position in the SCA
has the responsibility and authority for deciding which volunteers to
warrant or not warrant. If a volunteer already has a standing warrant in
place that does not require a re-issuance upon arrival of a new warranting
officer, then the removal of the standing warrant would be considered an
administrative sanction and thus require due process in accordance with
the Uniform Sanction Procedure.

b.	Are Event Stewards/Mayors/Autocrats the final arbiter {other than
appeal} of what volunteers they accept as event staff?

Ruling: YES. While there is the normal chain of appeal through branch
seneschal, Kingdom Seneschal, Society Seneschal, and Board of Directors,
the Event Steward/Mayor/Autocrat for a given event is the final point of
basic responsibility and authority for staffing at the event for which
they are the person in charge. As with all SCA officer positions we expect
that this responsibility will be carried out in a reasonable, fair
fashion, collecting input from appropriate committees, officers, and
subject-matter experts.

c.  	The use of SCA assets (insurance is an asset, as is the funding used
to pay premiums) for private household meetings constitutes inurement (use
of organization assets for the benefit of private circumstances). 
Further, the hosting of events by a private group receiving Branch
sponsorship speaks to the hosting of events open to all – within the
Corpora requirements for attending events.

Finally, the Board ruled that the granting and/or denial of variances to
waivers falls under the purview of the Vice President of Operations’
office.

Vice President of Corporate Operations—Renee Signorotti

New: 	Financial statements (consisting of the Comparative Balance

New: 	At least two people must be signatories on all accounts. Required

order of priority:

Investment Committee – Abel Sussman (Abel Brem of Regensfolke)

The Board approved the sale of fractional shares of CAT.

Society Chronicler – Susan Carroll-Clark (Nicolaa de Bracton)

Report filed.

Laurel Sovereign of Arms – Lisa Mohr (Elisabeth de Rossignol)

The Board approved the following change to the Administrative Handbook:

VII.D.5. “When an online commentary forum accessible to all members of the
College of Arms is specified by Laurel as a designated entry method for
comments, all comments, and comments on comments, must be entered into
that forum in an approved manner.  Entry of comments into that forum will
fulfill the requirement of distributing commentary to Laurel and to
members of the College of Arms.”

Marshal – Kevin Roderick (Hrothgar Monomakh)

The Board signed the warrant for the Society Deputy for Siege, Master
Quinn Phelan.

The Board approved the following policy of the Society Marshal for Combat
Archery in Lochac.
Because of the potential danger of firing arrow and bolt types used in
Lochac (particularly wood shafted arrows/bolts with small diameter blunt
requiring mesh on helms) at close range (<5 meters), when a fighter
approaches within 5 meters of an archer armed only with a bow or crossbow
using this type of missile, the archer may not attack and may therefore be
considered a helpless opponent. One of the Conventions of Combat
(III.B.7.) states that a fighter shall not deliberately strike a helpless
opponent, and therefore these combat archers shall not be struck.

There are some combat archers in Lochac who also fight with other weapons,
but many more who only use their bows or crossbows. For these who choose
not to use other weapons, they may continue to use plumes to identify
themselves clearly as only using a bow or crossbow (or being an unarmed
banner bearer) who are therefore they are not to be struck, as to approach
them close enough to strike them renders them helpless. The plumes
differentiate these fighters whom are not to be struck from others who may
switch from a bow to other weapons forms. Fighters shall also not strike
non-plumed combatants while they are 	holding a bow or crossbow (as they
are likewise unarmed) but may strike them if they are holding a melee
weapon. Plumed combatants and non-plumed combatants holding bows or
crossbows must yield to armored combatants who approach within 5 meters
and declare them "dead" as per Lochac conventions. All combatants on the
field, plumed or non-plumed will meet Society minimum armor standards by
August 1 2008 as originally stipulated. All combatants on the field,
plumed or non-plumed, are considered armored combatants, not "light" or
non-combatants, and are subject to all rules laid out in the Marshals
Handbook. This interpretation applies only to the Kingdom of Lochac, as
this is the only Kingdom where these types of missiles, and thus the
minimum firing distance of 5 meters, are used.

The Board also approved the following updates tot he Marshals’ Handbook:

Section I.B.I.:	In order to be authorized as a combatant or marshal in
adult armored combat, an individual must have attained his or her
sixteenth (16th) birthday. In order to be authorized as a participant,
combatant, or 	marshal in any other form of Society combat-related
activity, except Youth Combat, an individual must have attained his or her
fourteenth (14th) birthday.

Section VI.D. Neck Armor:	The neck, including the larynx, cervical
vertebrae, and first thoracic vertebra must be covered by one or a
combination of the following and must stay covered during typical combat
situations, including turning the head, lifting the chin, etc.:  1. The
helm; 2. A gorget of rigid material; 3. A mail or heavy leather camail or
aventail that hangs or drapes to absorb the force of a blow. If the camail
or aventail lays in contact with the larynx, cervical vertebrae, or first
thoracic vertebra, that section must be padded with a minimum of .25in
(6mm) of closed cell foam or equivalent; 4. A collar of heavy leather
lined with a minimum of .25in (6mm) of closed cell foam or equivalent.

Section VI.E.1. The kidney area and the short ribs shall be covered with a
minimum of heavy leather worn over .25in (6mm) of closed-cell foam or
equivalent padding.


Section VI.F.2.:	A gauntlet made of rigid material, either lined with
.25in (6mm) of closed-cell foam or equivalent or designed to transfer
potentially injurious impact to the surfaces being grasped.

Section IX.A.2.	Unless warranted or rostered by the Earl Marshal as an
officer of the kingdom, a marshal may not be the Marshal in Charge of an
event or sign the paperwork to authorize fighters.

Reason - Removing reference to non-contact that had been missed.

Section IX.A.6. All warranted or rostered marshals must be members of the
Society for Creative Anachronism Inc.

Section XVIII. Glossary:
i.	Heavy Leather: Heavy Leather: stiff, oak-tanned leather nominally 11/64
inch (4.4mm) thick. Often referred to as 11 oz. leather.

ii. 	Rigid Material:  Steel [no thinner than] than 18 gauge, or aluminum
[no thinner than] 0.075 inch (1.9 mm) thick.

Reason - 1/8 " thickness requirement (that was not altered from previous
handbook) is excessively thick to provide same rigidity as 18 gauge steel.

Minister of Arts and Sciences – Tim Jennings (Garraed Galbraith)

The Board extended the warrant of Tim Jennings, Minister of Arts and
Sciences, (Garraed Galbraith), to January 2010, with the option of an
extension of the warrant to January 2011.

Society Chirurgeon – Kim McAuley (Kaellyn mac Dermott)

The Board approved the following addition to Section III.9 of the
Chirurgeon’s Handbook:
Should the Event Steward be unable to contact the duly-delegated
administrative superior in the Chirurgeonate, the Kingdom Chirurgeon
and/or the Society Chirurgeon, the Event Steward may prohibit a Chirurgeon
from acting as a Chirurgeon (Corporate Officer) at an event for adequate
cause. This action must be reported to the Kingdom Chirurgeon and Society
Chirurgeon within 24 hours of the end of the event for review. If either
the Kingdom or Society Chirurgeon disagrees with the action taken, they
may refer it to the Kingdom Seneschal of the sponsoring kingdom, the
Society Seneschal, and then the Board of Directors for review and possible
follow- up actions.

The Board approved the following addition to Section III.13 of the
Chirurgeon’s Handbook:
If the Event Steward disagrees with the action taken, they may refer it to
the Kingdom Seneschal of the sponsoring kingdom, the Society Seneschal,
and then the Board of Directors for review and possible follow-up actions.

Should the Chirurgeonate be functioning as a previously organized group
under an approved Chirurgeon in Charge as part of the event staff of an
inter-kingdom event, the Event Steward may not remove them as an organized
group except under the following circumstances.
1. The removal process for individual chirurgeons outlined in Section
III.9, paragraphs 2 and 3 has been considered and followed, and the
problem still exists.
2. The removal process for the Chirurgeon in Charge outlined in Section
III.9, paragraph 4 has been considered and followed, and the problem still
exists.
