<DIV>Unto the membership of the Society for Creative Anachronism,<BR><BR>Below
is the most recent President's report, containing results of the Q1<BR>2007 BoD
meeting in San Diego, the January 31, 2007 conference call and<BR>the March 5,
2007 conference call.<BR><BR>Please accept our apologies for the tardiness of
this report. It was our<BR>intent to combine the results of the meeting in San
Diego with the<BR>conference call that followed shortly on its heels into one
report, thus<BR>cutting down on the number of President's reports released.
Several items<BR>were remanded to a later conference call (3/5) and we again
held the<BR>release of the report pending more complete information for
the<BR>membership.<BR><BR>These delays are not fair to you, and in the future,
we will simply<BR>release each President's report approximately 10 working days
after each<BR>meeting or conference call.<BR><BR>Yours,<BR><BR>Jason Williams -

SCA Inc.<BR><BR>BRANCH STATUS CHANGE<BR><BR>The Board took note of three new
branches, the Shire of Blackwater (Olean,<BR>NY), the Shire of Gryffon's Keep
(Fayette County, PA) and the Shire of<BR>Westland Mor (Greensburg, PA). The
Board also took note that the following<BR>three branches have dissolved, the
Canton of Wintersedge (Springville, NY<BR>& Vicinity), the Shire of the
Wastelands (Enid, OK), and the Shire of Dun<BR>an Chalaidh (Lincoln County,
OR).<BR><BR>OLD BUSINESS<BR><BR>2007 Budget<BR><BR>The Board approved the draft
2007 budget.<BR><BR>Unofficial Entities (Guild Proposal)<BR><BR>By consensus,
Chairman Williams ordered the Corpora I.E. Proposed Change -<BR>Unofficial
Entities, which would permit certain entities such as guilds,<BR>to become
official entities of the SCA, be returned to the Society<BR>Exchequer and
Seneschal for further work.<BR><BR>NEW BUSINESS<BR><BR>Governing Documents
Revision - Membership Requirements<BR><BR>Proof of membership has long been a
requirement for sitting royalty, and a<BR>lapse in membership during a reign
automatically resulted in termination. <BR>In order to bring officer
requirements into line, the addition to Corpora<BR>of items I.D.2.a and I.D.2.b
has been proposed:<BR><BR>Corpora currently states:<BR><BR>D.
Membership Requirements<BR><BR>1.
General<BR>Participants should expect to show proof of membership in order to
qualify<BR>for member privileges. The level of proof required should be
commensurate<BR>with the long-term risk to the Society posed by an erroneous
claim to<BR>membership.<BR><BR>2.
Officers<BR>Officers at all levels of the Society must be Society members as
defined<BR>in the Glossary and must have immediate access to the corporate
newsletter<BR>for their area received at their residence. (Alternate access
arrangements<BR>may be made for members of affiliated organizations or on a
case-by-case<BR>basis for people with post office boxes and for International
Members.)<BR>This standard also applies to deputies designated as successors
to<BR>officers subject to this provision, or assigned independent
administrative<BR>duties. Deputies who only assist with specific tasks are
exempt from the<BR>newsletter access requirement.<BR><BR>The following addition
is proposed:<BR><BR>a. The warrants and/or appointments of officers found to be
without a<BR>valid membership shall be considered terminated as of the date of
the<BR>lapse.<BR><BR>b. Warrants terminated due to a lapse in membership may or
may not be<BR>reinstated upon demonstration of a valid membership at the
pleasure of<BR>the warranting authority and within the confines of the
governing<BR>documents and kingdom law.<BR><BR>By consensus, Chairman Williams
ordered this item put before the<BR>membership for comment. Commentary shall be
due by May 1, 2007.<BR><BR>Medieval Times Curriculum<BR><BR>By consensus the
Board approved "Medieval Times Curriculum" as presented,<BR>to be distributed to
teachers for use in classes about the medieval
time<BR>period.<BR><BR>REPORTS<BR><BR>Interim President-Patrick Anderson
(Gabriel andvaka Kjotvason)<BR><BR>Report filed.<BR><BR>Vice President of
Operations (Society Seneschal) - George Reed (Aaron<BR>faheud Swiftrunner of the
Stone Keep)<BR><BR>The Board signed the warrants of several investigative staff
members. The<BR>Board also signed the warrant for Nedra K. Dunton (Ardenia A
Ruadh), the<BR>new Society Youth Activities Coordinator.<BR><BR>The Board upheld
the following policy interpretations of the Society<BR>Seneschal:<BR>a. Are
warranted Kingdom Officers obliged to accept warranted service from<BR>all who
volunteer?<BR>Ruling: NO. The warranting authority for any volunteer position in
the SCA<BR>has the responsibility and authority for deciding which volunteers
to<BR>warrant or not warrant. If a volunteer already has a standing warrant
in<BR>place that does not require a re-issuance upon arrival of a new
warranting<BR>officer, then the removal of the standing warrant would be
considered an<BR>administrative sanction and thus require due process in
accordance with<BR>the Uniform Sanction Procedure.<BR><BR>b. Are Event
Stewards/Mayors/Autocrats the final arbiter {other than<BR>appeal} of what
volunteers they accept as event staff?<BR><BR>Ruling: YES. While there is the
normal chain of appeal through branch<BR>seneschal, Kingdom Seneschal, Society
Seneschal, and Board of Directors,<BR>the Event Steward/Mayor/Autocrat for a
given event is the final point of<BR>basic responsibility and authority for
staffing at the event for which<BR>they are the person in charge. As with all
SCA officer positions we expect<BR>that this responsibility will be carried out
in a reasonable, fair<BR>fashion, collecting input from appropriate committees,
officers, and<BR>subject-matter experts.<BR><BR>c. The use of SCA assets
(insurance is an asset, as is the funding used<BR>to pay premiums) for private
household meetings constitutes inurement (use<BR>of organization assets for the
benefit of private circumstances). <BR>Further, the hosting of events by a
private group receiving Branch<BR>sponsorship speaks to the hosting of events
open to all - within the<BR>Corpora requirements for attending
events.<BR><BR>Finally, the Board ruled that the granting and/or denial of
variances to<BR>waivers falls under the purview of the Vice President of
Operations'<BR>office.<BR><BR>Vice President of Corporate Operations-Renee

Alan Andrist (Alanus of Bunghea)<BR><BR>Report filed.<BR><BR>Society Exchequer -
Mazelle Attiya (Maitresse Alysia Gabrielle de Fougeres)<BR><BR>The Board
approved many changes to the Society Financial Policy. The<BR>changes are as
follows:<BR><BR>Society Financial Policy I.C.:<BR>Old: Financial statements
(consisting of a Comparative Balance Sheet and<BR>Income and Expense Statements)
must be made available to the public at<BR>least annually, whether published in
a newsletter or distributed to the<BR>membership in some other form. A copy of
this printed statement must also<BR>be sent to the Chancellor of the Exchequer's
superior.<BR><BR>New: Financial statements (consisting of the Comparative
Balance<BR>Statement and the Income Statement) must be made available to the
public<BR>at least annually, whether published in a newsletter or distributed to
the<BR>membership in some other form. A copy of this printed statement must
also<BR>be sent to the Chancellor of the Exchequer's superior.<BR><BR>Society
Financial Policy II.B and V.C.:<BR>Old: ID issued by a contemporary government
or a student ID are both<BR>acceptable forms of identification.<BR><BR>New: ID
issued by a contemporary government or educational institution is<BR>an
acceptable form of identification.<BR><BR>Society Financial Policy adding
II.C.:<BR>New: All financial officers must have an identified emergency deputy.
This<BR>emergency deputy must be able to take over all duties and function as
the<BR>financial officer upon short notice.<BR><BR>Society Financial Policy
V.B.:<BR>Old: At least two officers of the same branch must be listed
as<BR>signatories, as well as the Kingdom Chancellor of the Exchequer or
a<BR>designated representative. For non-branch accounts, the officer
and<BR>another local person must be listed as signatories, as well as the
Kingdom<BR>Chancellor of the Exchequer or a designated representative. For a
Kingdom<BR>account, the Society Chancellor of the Exchequer must be a
signatory.<BR><BR>New: At least two people must be signatories on all accounts.
Required<BR>signatories on all accounts (subject to financial institution
limits) in<BR>order of priority:<BR>a. The Exchequer managing the account<BR>b.
The emergency deputy exchequer<BR>c. At least one other officer of that
branch<BR>d. For branches below Kingdom level, the Kingdom Chancellor of
the<BR>Exchequer or a designated representative. For a Kingdom account,
the<BR>Society Chancellor of the Exchequer must be a signatory.<BR><BR>Society
Financial Policy VII.E.:<BR>Old: Non-branch Financial Committees must also
include:<BR><BR>New: Non-geographic branch Financial Committees must also
include:<BR><BR>Society Financial Policy VIII.A:<BR>Old: Financial Committees
must have a written and approved financial<BR>policy filed with the superior
financial officer.<BR><BR>New: Financial Committees must have a written
financial policy. The<BR>financial policy must be approved by the Financial
Committee before filing<BR>for approval from the superior financial
officer.<BR><BR>Further, the Board approved the Estrella Financial Policy as
presented.<BR><BR>Investment Committee - Abel Sussman (Abel Brem of
Regensfolke)<BR><BR>The Board approved the sale of fractional shares of
CAT.<BR><BR>Society Chronicler - Susan Carroll-Clark (Nicolaa de
Bracton)<BR><BR>Report filed.<BR><BR>Laurel Sovereign of Arms - Lisa Mohr
(Elisabeth de Rossignol)<BR><BR>The Board approved the following change to the
Administrative Handbook:<BR><BR>VII.D.5. "When an online commentary forum
accessible to all members of the<BR>College of Arms is specified by Laurel as a
designated entry method for<BR>comments, all comments, and comments on comments,
must be entered into<BR>that forum in an approved manner. Entry of
comments into that forum will<BR>fulfill the requirement of distributing
commentary to Laurel and to<BR>members of the College of Arms."<BR><BR>Marshal -
Kevin Roderick (Hrothgar Monomakh)<BR><BR>The Board signed the warrant for the
Society Deputy for Siege, Master<BR>Quinn Phelan.<BR><BR>The Board approved the
following policy of the Society Marshal for Combat<BR>Archery in
Lochac.<BR>Because of the potential danger of firing arrow and bolt types used
in<BR>Lochac (particularly wood shafted arrows/bolts with small diameter
blunt<BR>requiring mesh on helms) at close range (<5 meters), when a
fighter<BR>approaches within 5 meters of an archer armed only with a bow or
crossbow<BR>using this type of missile, the archer may not attack and may
therefore be<BR>considered a helpless opponent. One of the Conventions of
Combat<BR>(III.B.7.) states that a fighter shall not deliberately strike a
helpless<BR>opponent, and therefore these combat archers shall not be
struck.<BR><BR>There are some combat archers in Lochac who also fight with other
weapons,<BR>but many more who only use their bows or crossbows. For these who
choose<BR>not to use other weapons, they may continue to use plumes to
identify<BR>themselves clearly as only using a bow or crossbow (or being an
unarmed<BR>banner bearer) who are therefore they are not to be struck, as to
approach<BR>them close enough to strike them renders them helpless. The
plumes<BR>differentiate these fighters whom are not to be struck from others who
may<BR>switch from a bow to other weapons forms. Fighters shall also not
strike<BR>non-plumed combatants while they are holding a bow or crossbow (as
they<BR>are likewise unarmed) but may strike them if they are holding a
melee<BR>weapon. Plumed combatants and non-plumed combatants holding bows
or<BR>crossbows must yield to armored combatants who approach within 5
meters<BR>and declare them "dead" as per Lochac conventions. All combatants on
the<BR>field, plumed or non-plumed will meet Society minimum armor standards
by<BR>August 1 2008 as originally stipulated. All combatants on the
field,<BR>plumed or non-plumed, are considered armored combatants, not "light"
or<BR>non-combatants, and are subject to all rules laid out in the
Marshals<BR>Handbook. This interpretation applies only to the Kingdom of Lochac,
as<BR>this is the only Kingdom where these types of missiles, and thus
the<BR>minimum firing distance of 5 meters, are used.<BR><BR>The Board also
approved the following updates tot he Marshals' Handbook:<BR><BR>Section I.B.I.:
In order to be authorized as a combatant or marshal in<BR>adult armored combat,
an individual must have attained his or her<BR>sixteenth (16th) birthday. In
order to be authorized as a participant,<BR>combatant, or marshal in any other
form of Society combat-related<BR>activity, except Youth Combat, an individual
must have attained his or her<BR>fourteenth (14th) birthday.<BR><BR>Section
VI.D. Neck Armor: The neck, including the larynx, cervical<BR>vertebrae, and
first thoracic vertebra must be covered by one or a<BR>combination of the
following and must stay covered during typical combat<BR>situations, including
turning the head, lifting the chin, etc.: 1. The<BR>helm; 2. A gorget of
rigid material; 3. A mail or heavy leather camail or<BR>aventail that hangs or
drapes to absorb the force of a blow. If the camail<BR>or aventail lays in
contact with the larynx, cervical vertebrae, or first<BR>thoracic vertebra, that
section must be padded with a minimum of .25in<BR>(6mm) of closed cell foam or
equivalent; 4. A collar of heavy leather<BR>lined with a minimum of .25in (6mm)
of closed cell foam or equivalent.<BR><BR>Section VI.E.1. The kidney area and
the short ribs shall be covered with a<BR>minimum of heavy leather worn over
.25in (6mm) of closed-cell foam or<BR>equivalent padding.<BR><BR><BR>Section
VI.F.2.: A gauntlet made of rigid material, either lined with<BR>.25in (6mm) of
closed-cell foam or equivalent or designed to transfer<BR>potentially injurious
impact to the surfaces being grasped.<BR><BR>Section IX.A.2. Unless warranted or
rostered by the Earl Marshal as an<BR>officer of the kingdom, a marshal may not
be the Marshal in Charge of an<BR>event or sign the paperwork to authorize
fighters.<BR><BR>Reason - Removing reference to non-contact that had been
missed.<BR><BR>Section IX.A.6. All warranted or rostered marshals must be
members of the<BR>Society for Creative Anachronism Inc.<BR><BR>Section XVIII.
Glossary:<BR>i. Heavy Leather: Heavy Leather: stiff, oak-tanned leather
nominally 11/64<BR>inch (4.4mm) thick. Often referred to as 11 oz.
leather.<BR><BR>ii. Rigid Material: Steel [no thinner than] than 18 gauge,
or aluminum<BR>[no thinner than] 0.075 inch (1.9 mm) thick.<BR><BR>Reason - 1/8
" thickness requirement (that was not altered from previous<BR>handbook) is
excessively thick to provide same rigidity as 18 gauge steel.<BR><BR>Minister of
Arts and Sciences - Tim Jennings (Garraed Galbraith)<BR><BR>The Board extended
the warrant of Tim Jennings, Minister of Arts and<BR>Sciences, (Garraed
Galbraith), to January 2010, with the option of an<BR>extension of the warrant
to January 2011.<BR><BR>Society Chirurgeon - Kim McAuley (Kaellyn mac
Dermott)<BR><BR>The Board approved the following addition to Section III.9 of
the<BR>Chirurgeon's Handbook:<BR>Should the Event Steward be unable to contact
the duly-delegated<BR>administrative superior in the Chirurgeonate, the Kingdom
Chirurgeon<BR>and/or the Society Chirurgeon, the Event Steward may prohibit a
Chirurgeon<BR>from acting as a Chirurgeon (Corporate Officer) at an event for
adequate<BR>cause. This action must be reported to the Kingdom Chirurgeon and
Society<BR>Chirurgeon within 24 hours of the end of the event for review. If
either<BR>the Kingdom or Society Chirurgeon disagrees with the action taken,
they<BR>may refer it to the Kingdom Seneschal of the sponsoring kingdom,
the<BR>Society Seneschal, and then the Board of Directors for review and
possible<BR>follow- up actions.<BR><BR>The Board approved the following addition
to Section III.13 of the<BR>Chirurgeon's Handbook:<BR>If the Event Steward
disagrees with the action taken, they may refer it to<BR>the Kingdom Seneschal
of the sponsoring kingdom, the Society Seneschal,<BR>and then the Board of
Directors for review and possible follow-up actions.<BR><BR>Should the
Chirurgeonate be functioning as a previously organized group<BR>under an
approved Chirurgeon in Charge as part of the event staff of an<BR>inter-kingdom
event, the Event Steward may not remove them as an organized<BR>group except
under the following circumstances.<BR>1. The removal process for individual
chirurgeons outlined in Section<BR>III.9, paragraphs 2 and 3 has been considered
and followed, and the<BR>problem still exists.<BR>2. The removal process for the
Chirurgeon in Charge outlined in Section<BR>III.9, paragraph 4 has been
considered and followed, and the problem still<BR>exists.<BR><BR>Chief

Justin)<BR><BR>Report filed.<BR><BR>Grand Council - Daniel Thompson (Roger of
