[ANSTHRLD] Achievement Discussion at Round Table

[Jay Rudin]

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.

>Greetings Ansteorra!

>At Coronation and BAM, the College of Heralds hosted discussions about our current registration process for achievements of arms in order to get feedback on an open proposal to modify the system. I will be hosting another such meeting at this weekend's Round Table/wInterkingdom event in Northkeep so that members of the populace have an additional opportunity to learn about the proposal and provide feedback.

>This meeting is NOT just for heralds! In fact, because the proposed changes will impact the achievement elements that members of the populace can register, everyone is affected, regardless of whether you have an AoA or are a member of the Peerage or Nobility. So, everyone is welcome and encouraged to attend, learn, and provide feedback.
