[MR] Principal for Order of Chivalry?

[Stefan li Rous]

In what way does a request for info on a newsgroup/mail list involve  
the BoD?

For years I keep hearing that mail lists are not official. That  
anything "announced" on a list must also be announced in an official  
publication to be considered official. No official complaint has been  
sent to the BoD. We keep getting told to follow channels and not to  
immediately contact the Kingdom Seneschal or other kingdom  
representative. Fen seems to be trying to get this problem taken care  
of without going to such extremes.

If any individual BoD member wishes to get involved in something he or  
she saw on a mail list, that doesn't make it official.

As to the comment that something only a Board of Chivalry can be  
called by the King, there are lots of levels of correction than can be  
done long before a formal Board of Chivalry is needed. I think this  
individual was wishing to solve this problem long before it got to  
that level. Even contacting the kingdom seneschal seems to be jumping  
a number of levels at this point.

All this individual is asking for is the correct person to contact.  
Certainly a reasonable purpose in posting to this list.

If you know the appropriate official to contact, then do so. But in  
this case the correct person to contact doesn't appear to be that  
obvious.
