Compiled
by MB (Dame Ceridwen Einara Holstein)
The
meeting began at 1:45 PM and adjourned at 5:00 PM.
There
was quorem.
New
Business:
All
members were presented with copies of the Rules for Fratricidal Combat as
previously published in 1998, the fall of 2003, January 2005, and March
2005. These four copies comprised the
complete reproduction of the rules as they have been published for the Fyrd in
the past 10 years.
Kelly
Coco presented the following list of changes noted from the 2005 version (most
current, and available online) when compared to the prior version from
1998. Most of these changes had never
been clearly discussed at prior corporate meetings, though it should be noted
that many of the changes were accepted with enthusiasm, and some predated the
2003 and 2005 revisions. The sections in
bold met with objections from various council members, and changes were
proposed and passed as per the bold
and underlined text in the revised Rules for Fratricidal Combat. The revised rules will be published
immediately in the Spring Plague, and the Fyrd may reference the current
version posted online to observe differences (i.e. where text has been deleted,
etc.). (MB’s disclaimer – I recreated the 3 pictures that we decided to re-add
to the best of my limited computer abilities.
The information presented in them is accurate, though they ain’t
pretty! Someone with the capacity to
scan the old ones exactly as they were and add them to
the Word text of the document is pleadingly asked to do so!)
INSERT
LIST HERE.
The
required frequency of Reeves’ Guild meetings was examined, as well as the
implications of plastic armor, but it was decided by consensus that the
subjects would be tabled until the Fall Council Meeting when new proposals are
traditionally made.
In
order to be official, the changes that were proposed and passed must also be
passed at the Summer Althyng (not the upcoming Spring Council Meeting, as two
consecutive council meetings would not allow the entire voting body of Markland
to voice their input).
Those members who were unable to attend this Special Council Meeting and who have a vested interested in Markland fratricidal fighting are encouraged to vote at the upcoming Summer Althyng, or send a representative with a proxy.
