[Ansteorra] [Southern] CLOSED MEETINGS

[estarkey at camalott.com]

If you look at the kingdom and exchequer handbook on bounced checks, there 
are specific guidelines on handing a bounced check.  We are, in fact, 
required to enter the name of the person who's check it was on the monthly 
and quarterly report, and the reports track whether the check was covered or 
written off as a bad debt, and those records are public.  Please also note 
that the SCA Board of Directors hold closed meetings when discussing 
individual sanctions, as is proper.  Discussion involving following written 
procedures, changing those written procedures, enforcing policies, 
dissolving or creating groups, how to streamline administrative procedures 
and practices have no need for closed meetings nor secrecy.
