Gads.  I've been invoked.

The rule for the SCA is that any permission *must* be in writing, in ink on paper.  Printer ink is not sufficient.  A person can print out their email message, sign it, and mail it to the chronicler, it doesn't need to be the official Publication Permission Form.

I, and the Society Chronicler (past and coming; the office changes hands this weekend), and the Legal Committee, all understand that in other arenas, electronic-only permissions may be accepted.  However, the SCA is being a bit conservative in this policy.  I understand that it may come under review later this year.

Written permission is also required to post contact information, and the policy is to use only name and email unless the person gives specific permission for other information to be posted.  This is both a privacy and a safety issue.
