[Bryn-gwlad] BG'S BARONIAL CANDIDATES QUESTIONS

[Pug Bainter]

Good Morning,

 

  Unfortunately the on-line timeline did not include the FAQ that goes with
it. This explicitly asks people to avoid discussions on the mailing lists
because of the nature of the communication medium. I am including it here
for reference until it can be made available on-line.

 




Opinion polling clarifications


The following clarifications should be published in both the group's
newsletter and website as well as posted to their email list along with the
polling timeline. 

 

Polling Clarifications

Baronial pollings are not a democratic vote and do not necessarily determine
who will be chosen for a position. Rather, pollings provide a way for the
Crown to hear and consider the opinions of the populace on the matter of
Baronial succession. The Crown considers many factors when choosing new
landed nobility, including the results of the polling.

 

Candidate discussion

Try to avoid candidate discussion on email lists. If you have questions for
the baronial candidates, contact them directly by email, not on a list, or
talk to them in person.

 

Candidate meetings

All baronial candidates must be available to meet with the Crown on
Saturday, January 19, 2008 at Kings Round Table.

 

Where to send commentary

The opinion poll form does not include space for written commentary, so any
commentary about the baronial candidates should be emailed directly to the
Crown at crown at ansteorra.org.  Do not send commentary to the Kingdom or
Regional Seneschal.

 

Who can fill out an opinion poll form?

Everyone: member and non-members, residents and non-residents. If you are a
member, bring your membership card with you to the polling on Monday,
January 7, 2008.  

 

Minors may take part in the polling if they are of a sufficient age and take
part in and/or contribute to baronial activities.  Parents may not poll for
them.

 

Mail-in opinion poll forms

Mail-in opinion poll forms will not be accepted.  If you have a dire and
pressing issue that prevents you from attending the physical polling on
Monday, January 7, 2008, contact the Kingdom Seneschal.

 

Results of the polling

The results of the baronial polling will NOT be made public. This is the
norm for opinion polls conducted in Ansteorra. The results of the polling
will be known only by the Regional Seneschal, the Kingdom Seneschal and the
Crown. The results will not be shared with anyone else: not the candidates,
not the current local landed nobility, not the populace, no one.   Please
understand that the poll is a measure of your opinions, not a democratic
vote. The Crown alone makes the decision. 

 

If anyone has any questions, contact me directly at seneschal at ansteorra.org
or 512-329-6908.
