This argument comes up every now and then. I see it as a problem. I don't
think there is a solution. When the CoA accepts money for a registration,
they are selling a product. That product is permanent and inheritable. Even
if NEW registrations carried a disclaimer of 'for the lifetime of the
Holder' or REQUIRED a 'Heraldic Will' be filed with the registration, it would
not change the fact that the products sold to everyone up until now is theirs
for their lifetime unless they willingly give that ownership up in one way
or another, whether they play or not, and then passes on to their
designated or legal default heir, whether they KNOW it or not. Some of these people
are already deceased. Short of disbanding the registering entity, I don't
think there is a way to fix this.

My good heralds,
I know that there is no shelf life on name and devices, but what happens
when we
have a submitter who has a device that conflicts and makes every effort to
get
in touch with the conflicting gentile, only to find that the person is no
longer
active in the SCA? Is there some way that we can document or some process
where
we can place that persons name and device in an inactive status for a time
where
it will be released after a predetermined time of inactivity on the
inactive
list? I think that it would make life easier in the long run if the
process ran
as follows:
1. An inquiry is made and it is found that the person is no longer active.
2. An inquiry is sent to the person asking if they would like to release
their
name and device (response time 1 month).
3. If there is a response, and it is so wished the name and device are
immediately released, or a permission to conflict can then be attained.
4. If there is no response the name is placed in an "Inactive" status for
a set
time (say 3 to 6 months). This gives the holder of the name and device
ample
time to respond to periodic inquiries.
5. After the time period has lapsed the name and device are placed in a
"Deceased" status. This designates that the PERSONA, not the person, is
diseased
and the name and device may now be in conflict with another.
6. The new device must still be different from the "Deceased" device, but
with a
less stringent "CD" criteria.
7. Names must also differ, but can be similar.
My intent in this is not to penalize those that are inactive because of
various reasons. I am trying to target those that have no contact with the
SCA
at all, i.e. they have left the game entirely and have no desire to play
anymore. I await the various responses.
For the Shire!
