ANST-Announce - Grand Council Nominations Announcement

[Dafydd ap Owain ap Cadell]

===============================================
[Moderators of lists, please forward.]

Greetings from the Grand Council, a committee reporting to the SCA's Board
of Directors. The Grand Council is currently recruiting volunteers to fill
out its numbers and provide a cross-section of opinion in its continuing
work.

Our apologies for this intrusion. In an effort to reach as many people as
possible, this notice is being posted to all known general SCA mailing
lists. There is no need to forward this note to any other lists. It
hopefully should appear only once per list.

The Grand Council functions as a think tank to the Board of Directors of
the SCA Inc.  It is charged with formulating both possible changes to the
Governing Documents of the SCA, as well as suggesting procedural changes
for dealing with modern world problems and the SCA.

Past items have included recommendations to the Board which led to the
formulation of G&PD#20 (alternate sanctions), regularization of the means
of impeachment of Directors by the members of the SCA (recently passed),
and revision of the procedures and scope of banishments (recently sent out
for commentary by participants). While recommendations of the Grand Council
are not guaranteed of acceptance,involvement in the Grand Council is
important in the continuing evolution of the SCA, Inc.

The Grand Council is not involved in policy decisions or debate regarding
how the SCA is organized on the medieval level, except where such
organization impinges on the modern world.

For more information on the Grand Council, please visit our web pages at:

by anyone. Good email access is required. We encourage applications from
people of all backgrounds and locations. Electronic applications are being
accepted via the Grand Council's Web Page (above), or directly via email
