I am in agreement with Robert on all of his point.
However, our kingdom's demographics and geographics have presented
challenges that we have not been able to address. What I propose is a
universal document to help with the mentoring process, and to provide a
basic set of standards. A poor substitute for a mentor I admit, but
better than nothing, which is what all people can get right now.
