[Ansteorra-announce] Circle Expectations for our Reign

[Heirs of Ansteorra]

Greetings from Jason and Margherita, Prince and Princess of Ansteorra

We would like to provide everyone with our expectations for Circles that we
will hold during our Reign.

1. If the Candidate’s mentor/advocate is not present they will not be
discussed.

2. We are not interested in a story about how the Candidate was rude or
offended someone 10 years ago. We are interested in ongoing behavior and
actions.

3. If someone has said something and you agree with them, do not restate
it, just say that you agree with them.

4. For those people in the Circle, we are aware that if you have not been
playing and active for the last 3 years, it will not be possible for you to
have an opinion and relevant commentary on a candidate. You are welcome to
attend the circle but we would appreciate it if you keep your comments to a
minimum.

5. We will have an agenda for each of our Circles, if you want to discuss a
candidate you must email us at trm at crown.ansteorra.org
<trm at crown.annsteorra.org>. We may elect to discuss someone that is not on
the agenda if there is time. Candidates must be submitted no later than the
Sunday prior to the event at 11 pm.

6. Proxies must be in writing and sent to trm at crown.ansteorra.org. Proxies
may be read in the circle at the discretion of TRMs. Proxies must be
emailed no later than the Wednesday prior to the event at 11 pm.

7. In accordance with Society Policy no investigations or complaints will
be brought up or discussed. Anyone that brings up an investigation or
complaint will be asked to stop immediately and will not be permitted to
speak again on the candidate or poll on them.

8. Abstains do not count as No or Yes, they will be counted. We look at
them as an indication of how well the person and their activity are known.

We like to start and stop our circles on time, so please plan your schedule
accordingly.

We look forward to working with each of the Orders.


Feel free to cross post to appropriate lists.

In Service,


Jason and Margherita

Prince and Princess Ansteorra
