[MR] On the proposed changes to the manner of selecting pollingorder principals...

[Baroness Rozsa]

Just as quick note regarding speaking at Curia - only certain people are 
able to speak at Curia.

3.3   Members of the Curia Regis

The members of the Curia are:

  3.3.1   The Crown Prince and Princess of Atlantia.

  3.3.2   Any Atlantian Territorial Princes & Princesses & Their Heirs.

  3.3.3   All officers of state.

  3.3.4   All landed Barons and Baronesses.

  3.3.5   All Atlantian group Seneschals.

3.4   Who Speaks at Curia

Any other person may attend the Curia Regis but may speak only if recognized 
by the Crown to do so.

********************

Just didn't want anyone to show up and get disappointed if they aren't able
to speak.

Baroness Rozsa
