| Curia Agenda
- Proposal for separation for the following offices Chronicler and Webminister.
- Proposal for creation of new office to handle and coordinate creation of Kingdom regalia.
- Proposal to change Article III section 1000:
Current: III-1000 If one member of a combatant couple is removed from the Crown
Lists for marshallate infractions or any infractions of the
Rules of the Lists, both members are ineligible to
continue in that Crown Tournament. If one member of a combatant couple
voluntarily withdraws as a combatant in the Lists,
the other member may continue in the Lists only with the express permission
of the withdrawing member to the Minister of the Lists
at the time they withdraw, otherwise both shall be ineligible to continue
in that Crown Tournament.
to read
Proposed: III-1000 If one member of a combatant couple is removed from the Crown
Lists for marshallate infractions or any infractions of the
Rules of the Lists, both members are ineligible to
continue in that Crown Tournament. If one member of a combatant couple
voluntarily withdraws as a combatant in the Lists,
the MOL and Marshal will confer with the withdrawing member to determine
if they are also withdrawing as consort or if the other member
may continue in the Lists. If the participant withdraws both as fighter
and consort, both shall be ineligible to continue in that
Crown Tournament.
Comment: This removes the burden of communication from an injured participant and places it on the officials running the tourney.
- It has been brought to Our attention the consideration of a provision for an emergency Curia called by the Crown. This sort of Curia would be held with only a electronic advance notification but would not be valid for making changes to Kingdom Law or for approving expenditures.
Comment: This sort of Curia could be used if the normally scheduled Curia for a reign was snowed out, the event cancelled, or a quorum of officers not present. The current rules requiring scheduling a month before the month of the Curia can make a "rain-date" impossible.
- It has been brought to Our attention that there is an inconsistency in the following section of Kingdom Law Article III section 400:
III-400 In order to be eligible to fight or be fought for in Crown Tournament, a person must be a subject (as defined in Corpora) of AEthelmearc for one year immediately prior to Crown Tournament and be able to demonstrate a reasonable level of participation in diverse activities in AEthelmearc during that period. Individuals who are subjects of AEthelmearc but who have not resided in AEthelmearc for the 1 year immediately prior to Crown must demonstrate to the Crown's satisfaction by their own words or by recommendation of peers of AEthelmearc that they have sufficient familiarity with AEthelmearc Law and custom.
A reasonable level of participation is defined as one who attends a minimum of seven events a year and participates in diverse levels of activities within the Kingdom of AEthelmearc.
Comment: This wording seems to allow the Crown to waive or modify the residency requirement of 1 year based on the proposed participant's "sufficient familiarity with AEthelmearc Law and custom", but it does not seem to allow the Crown the same freedom to waive or modify the participation requirement. Those who have brought this to Our attention believe that the two sections should be treated in the same fashion.
While We are of the mind that the Crown should not be able to waive Kingdom Law, the ability to waive the residency portion has long been a part of AEthelmearc Law. We would welcome the opinion of the populous on this topic.
