[Ansteorra] Corporate Structure (was Non-Member Surcharge)

[Rose]

Please note that by SCA, Unincorporated, I don't mean that as some sort of legal structure, but as a mindset. I really don't care what our legal structure looks like, but I do care when Ansteorrans can't do what's best for us because it might not be best for someone else in a different kingdom, far far away, and BoD's already made a rule about it...

I think that all of those things are worthy and possible, even the mansion and the yacht. However, I think that the mansion and the yacht are less attainable than everything else you listed.

I would like to see SCA, Unincorporated, where we're all able to do what makes OUR Kingdom happy. I understand that out group needs insurance to rent sites, but we don't need SCA, Inc. for insurance. SCA, Inc. doesn't help support us, except in a few legal aspects that we could take care of ourselves.

You know, I could be wrong. Can someone please tell me what SCA, Inc. does for us that we couldn't do for ourselves, with the same amount of time, paperwork, and money that we're presently spending?

I want the corporation to act like it's a support organization, not an owner.

I want Ansteorra to own the Ansteorran crowns and thrones.

I want the Corporation's activities scaled back to fit the budget, not the income sources scaled up to meet the desired activities.

Ideally, I'd like separate regional and local corporations with financial autonomy, so the SCA is not a fat, rich target for lawyers.

I'd like the BoD members to stay in people's homes instead of hotels when they hold meetings, since the supposed purpose is for us to get to know them better.

I want to move the corporation out of one of the most expensive cities in the country.

I want the absurd increase in paperwork in the last seven to ten years scaled back, so small towns can support branches again.  

I want the corporation to be a support for our kingdoms, rather than the current drain.

And I want a mansion and a yacht.
