class=968532918-26092010>Having read the original, Janyn and Siegfried's
responses to this I hessitate to make a suggestion, but let's at least think it
over a bit. To become a warranted marshal of any activity in the SCA,
archery, heavy, light, equestrian, the individual must attend a class and be a
MIT for some events, number depends upon activity, before they are issued a
warrant. Simply stated, they are a CERTIFIED marshal of that
activity. This also applies to receiving a warrant for exchequer and some
other offices. However, and to the best of my knowledge, to be an autocrat
one need only suffer from helium hand, i.e. volunteer. Now I am NOT a big
fan for over regulating anything, I firmly believe good common sense often
trumps regulations, however, it is often prooved over and over that common sense
is NOT common. Thus is it not time to require anyone desiring to be an
autocrat to pass through the same type of process an exchequer or marshal has to
pass through? Archery range size and safety zones are only one of many
things an autocrat must take into cosideration in running a good, safe
event. To take this out of the realm of archery, does an autocrat know
that they must purchase additional insurance if equestrian is involved? Do
they double check the equestrian field for holes in which a horse could stumble
and possibly break a leg? And what about equestrian archery? Now
there's a REAL headache in the waiting! If we realize that the autocrat of
an event is ultimately and legally responsible for what happens at that
event do they not assume the same degree of "exposure" that all marshals and
exchequers experience? If Atlantia had an autocrat warranting process we
could easily include safety requirements for all our
activities.</SPAN></SPAN></DIV>
