14 July 2002 Althing Agenda

The formal gathering will be held at Mourning Wood Glen on Sunday, July 14th.  Details regarding vote collection will be amended as soon as they are known.
 

• Item 1a - FOR / AGAINST / ABSTAIN
  The Kingdom of the Emerald Hills does hereby resolve that the group known as "The Wetlands" is recognized and acknowledged as a peer Amtgard Kingdom.  Therefore, reciprocal recognition of credits, awards, and titles awarded by Kingdoms (such as The Wetlands) is in effect.
• Item 1b - FOR / AGAINST / ABSTAIN
  The Kingdom of the Emerald Hills does hereby resolve that the group known as "The Wetlands," can no longer be recognized as a peer Amtgard Kingdom.  Therefore, any awards or titles awarded by the officers of The Wetlands after March 30, 2002 are invalid and not recognized within the Emerald Hills.
• Item 2 - FOR / AGAINST / ABSTAIN
  Insert as I.E.2
  "An Active resident is one that has attended at minimum 5 (five) EH group or subgroup functions in the preceding 7 (seven) months.  For this purpose a function includes attending at a park on a regular play day, attending any event mentioned in section VII, or working at Tanglewood Forest on behalf of the RGK.  No more than 1 (one) attendance per Amtgard week or event shall be counted"
   
  Also, update corpora sections I.E.2 (the section that may become I.E.3), V.A.2, V.B.4, and V.C.2 to reflect that being Active is also a requirement.
  (This ensures that voting and office holding are limited to Active dues paid residents.)
• Item 3 - FOR / AGAINST / ABSTAIN
  Change II.J.2
  FROM
  "Each fighting guild, the Circle of Knights, and the Circle of Steel will each vote for their guildmaster at the Crown Elections"
  TO
  "Each fighting guild and the Circle of Steel..."
  This is the only mention of the "Guildmaster of Knights" in the corpora.  The primary effect of removing this entry would permit the Circle of Knights to administer their Guildmaster Election as an internal affair...independant of the normal election process.
• Item 4 - FOR HYPHENATED / AGAINST HYPHENATED / ABSTAIN
  Standardize the spelling of "Mid-reign" in the corpora by changing all references to be hyphenated.
  OR
  Standardize the spelling of "Midreign" in the corpora by changing all references to be non-hyphenated.

In addition to the above discussions and votes, the Crown will be soliciting opinions regarding armor rating guidelines with an eye toward more complete documented standards. Of particular note is the distinctions between the various types of Amtgard Brig.
