> Subject: [Announcements] Request for Comment-Medical Equipment proposal
> 
> Upon discussions with the Society Chirurgeon and our legal advisors, I
> have requested the Board put a proposed change to the Corporate Policies
> out for comment.
> 
> While the Board and Corporate Officers recognize that a number of people
> in the SCA are trained in the use of automated external defibrillator or
> AEDs, we are concerned about the continued maintenance and upkeep
> obligations for groups that own these devices. If the SCA permits the
> groups to own these devices, it would be putting the responsibility on
> the group to continue to maintain the device, keeping it in good working
> order, and and ensuring its availability at events and practies.
> 
> Accordingly, I have asked the Board to put the following out for
> comment:
> 
> New Draft Corporate Policy (to be added to the corporate policies and
> those policies renumbered accordingly):
> 
> There shall be no ownership or possession of the Medical Equipment 
> listed on Appendix A of these Corporate Policies by any branch or 
> recognized guild of the Society for Creative Anachronism, Inc.
> 
> 
> New Addition to Corporate Policies:
> 
>  Appendix A:
> 
>  1.      Automated External Defibrillators (AED)
> 
> 
>  The Directors request comments from the membership regarding this
>  proposed revision no later than October 1st, 2009. Please send them 
>  to:
