The revised (Version 2) Boke of Ceremonies will be posted online.
Use of name discussion. Council in agreement that group names should be respected even while in honoured abeyance. Polaris to proceed with any necessary corrective actions.
Minister of Arts and Sciences – A proposed revision to the rules and scoring rubrics for A&S competitions will be sent to the council electronically for review and comment. In brief,changes to the document are to introduce a tiering system to create an introductory level of competition and to modify language and use of the word ‘division’ to clarify and refine discrete uses of the term, sometimes through synonyms. A third modification will now allow, with express permission of KMoAS, the use of resources and the creation of items that extend within the first half of the 17thcentury.
Seneschal –discussion of bids for Spring Coronation. All in favour of the Korsvag bid. Eilis to advise group and populace.
Discussion of the 2 bids for spring Crown carried over to email list to allow TRH to review and consult. Decision to be made by email vote.
Northwatch event ads policy change. The current timelines are quite challenging for the publishing group. To encourage better workflow and ensure that the Events Information Officer can have any questions or outstanding information includedin event ads the suggested change moves the deadline to the 15th of the month. All in favour.
