CommitteeAnnouncement - Possible Rapier and/or Cut & Thrust Combat Peerage


> The Board of Directors seeks to explore the possibility of creating a new 
> Society-wide Peerage to recognize as Peers those participants who meet the 
> general requirements for a Patent of Arms and who demonstrate prowess in 
> Rapier and/or Cut & Thrust Combat. To that end, a Peerage Exploratory 
> Committee has been formed whose work will help determine if we should move 
> forward with the Society's first new Peerage in decades and, if so, how we 
> might best proceed.
>
> This Committee will focus on developing a supporting narrative and 
> recommendation. If the recommendation is in favor of such a Peerage, the 
> committee will also recommend a set of implementation requirements. This 
> set of recommendations would include specific implementation plans for 
> heraldry, regalia, Corpora changes, and identifying and addressing 
> associated issues around creating and implementing such a Peerage. The 
> Committee's supporting narrative for a recommendation (if positive), and 
> the nature and quality of the implementation plans provided by the 
> Committee may prove instrumental to the Board's determination regarding if 
> and how we might proceed with the new Peerage. The Board reserves the 
> right to adjust, define, expand, narrow or reject any or all portions of 
> the recommendation but will not do so without cause or explanation.
>
> The results of the Committee’s work will be made available to the 
> membership for review and comment. A much larger and more representative 
> Review Committee will then review the results of the Committee, along with 
> any comments from the membership concerning those results. The Review 
> Committee will be established at a later date by the Board of Directors 
> and will be comprised of representatives selected by the relevant groups 
> and organizations within and across the Society (e.g., the Kingdoms, 
> Peerages, Heralds, Seneschals, Grand Council, Rapier Fencing Community, 
> and C&T Fencing Community) as a final input into the process. As required 
> by the governing documents of the SCA, if any proposed changes to Corpora 
> result from this process, they will be submitted to the membership for the 
> standard commentary period.
