[MR] Grand Council Accepting Applications

[Lady Simone Ui'Dunlainghe]

[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.
