The bit below is from the President's Report of the January 28, 2012  
Board
meeting that have been emailed out today (11/02/2012) and not the  
official
minutes. The rapier peerage sounds like it might be happening.  
Apparently
equestrian lacked the participant numbers and the established history  
in the
SCA to be considered as part of this. Nothing has been mentioned about
archery.

Additional Peerage: Based on the results of the Census data, as well  
as an
examination of the number of participants in the Knowne World, the  
Board of
Directors intends to explore the possibility of creating a new peerage  
to
recognize as peers those rapier fighters who meet the general  
requirements
for a patent of arms and who demonstrate prowess in rapier combat and  
cut
and thrust combat. Therefore, the Board is forming an exploratory  
committee
to investigate heraldry, regalia, corpora changes and associated issues
around creating such a peerage. The board expects the committee to make
concrete recommendations with respect to creations of such a peerage.  
Any
resulting corpora changes will be submitted for comment pursuant to the
Board's standard policy. The Board invites the input of the general
membership, Kingdom Crowns and officers as to the make-up of the  
committee.
