[ANSTHRLD] Achievement Discussion

[Ronald Blackman]

To address item 1 of your message, do we wish to encourage achievement registration and display? If so, the current system seems to encourage folks to wait until they have all the awards they can get before registering and display an achievement. I believe it would encourage more folks to register and display an achievement if we allow what was historically unregulated to be used by those who are awarded a lower award. Therefore I do believe a change should be done to encourage achievement registration and usage. 

I do believe that only a couple changes should be made based on Andreas' paper from KWHSS last year. I would wait to discuss those until such time as a decision is made on whether or not a change is warranted.

I hope we can approach it straightforwardly this time. We are considering two issues:

1. A policy change: Should we change our approach to achievements from a reward form relatively high rank to a right most people have, at lower levels?

2. An implementation procedure: If so, is this proposal the best way to do so?

I'd like to discuss *whether* to change our long-held policy before discussing the specifics of how to do so.
