Subject: [Announcements] Laurel Office Request for Feedback on the Rules for Submissions
To those to whom these words come, greetings from Olwynn ni
Chinneidigh, Laurel Queen of Arms and Juliana de Luna, Palimpsest Herald.
The Laurel office is starting to review our policies and procedures for
submissions. We expect that the eventual outcome will be a complete
rewrite of the Rules for Submissions.
To start this process, we're asking the populace and heralds to give us
feedback about the heraldic submissions process and how it should work.
A survey which asks some basic questions can be found at:
<http://www.surveymonkey.com/s/GLJZDDZ> http://www.surveymonkey.com/s/GLJZDDZ
We'd appreciate it if interested people would take time to answer the questions there. Anyone can complete this; we promise to read all answers. We expect the
survey to take fifteen to twenty minutes. Additional comments about or
ideas for this process can be sent to <mailto:rules at heraldry.sca.org>
rules at heraldry.sca.org.
We have several goals for this process:
- to make the Rules for Submissions easier to use for heralds and
submitters alike
- to reduce discrepancies between the Rules as written and the rules
as applied
- to reflect on the degree of authenticity we want for the
registration process and how best to codify rules to evaluate it
- to reconsider the level of difference we should require between
names and devices for registration
In all areas, the Society for Creative Anachronism has moved towards
progressively better understandings of what people did in our period.
Given this, we are not interested in discussing rules changes that would
substantially lower our standards for registration of names and armory.
But we are interested in exploring ways to make it easier for people
register items that are in period style, whether or not they fit the
rules as they currently exist. We welcome ideas about how to do that
from all sources.
We look forward to hearing from you! The deadline for the survey is
January 31; we will continue to accept comments by e-mail until the
review of the rules is completed. Please forward this message to other
mailing lists, so that as many people as possible can respond.
Juliana and Olwynn
