Imperial Monarchy: (to Step up at Rakis)
____ Katheryne Kavanagh and Baron Artimus Dane
____ abstain
Imperial Guild Master of Reeves: (to Step up at Rakis)
____ Baron Rewth An Sealgair
____ abstain
Members of the Iron Mountains Board of Directors (IMBOD): (to Step up at Rakis) (Pick Two) ____ Sir Cullum Eyrewolf Valinor
____ Sir Grendel Vetra Skald
____ Sir Talisin Silverwolf
____ abstain
Proposal 1: Change the wording of 19.B.a from
“Arts and Sciences part – No item may be entered in more than one crown qualifications tournament at any level. The arts and sciences part of crown qualifications must include at least the following categories:”
to
“Arts and Sciences part – No item may be entered within the core in more than one crown qualifications tournament at any level. The same is true for non-core Crown Qualification Tournaments, with the following exception: any item entered in a non-core Crown Qualification Tournament may also be entered in the Imperial Crown Qualifications Tournament, but should not receive awards for work already entered, unless no previous award has been granted, or the individual’s award level is beyond the level allowable for the non-core group. The arts and sciences part of crown qualifications must include at least the following categories:”
Rationale: Currently, people within the core who enter items in local qualifications have the ability to receive Imperial consideration for awards. People outside the core, however, have a more difficult time receiving Imperial consideration, other than through award recommendations. This amendment will allow people who enter items within the core to also receive Imperial consideration for awards by entering those same items into an Imperial level tournament. Also, since non-core individuals are ineligible for Imperial office according to a recent corpora amendment, whether or not they are able to qualify for crown with items entered in multiple level tournaments becomes inconsequential, especially given that, had the individual already received a Hydra, they would be ineligible to do so as part of the Amendment. All this amendment does is ensure that Principality and non-core individuals can receive direct Imperial consideration for quality work, as opposed to consideration based on a recommendation without adequate knowledge and critical analysis of the individual’s work.
____ Yea ____ Nay ____ abstain
Proposal 2: Change 19.B.a.14 to the following:
Garb, Field – includes all garb made for use outdoors, or on the battlefield, except for monster garb.”
And add the following section, and shift down all subsequent sections by one number (e.g. 19.B.a.15 would become 19.B.a.16, etc):
“19.B.a.15. Garb, Monster – includes all garb meant for the portrayal of monster classes during battlegame and quest scenarios.”
Rationale: Monster garb should be considered as a separate category for the purposes of A&S, as certain pieces of monster garb may require special consideration based on the type of monster and realism of the piece versus standard field garb.
____ Yea ____ Nay ____ abstain
Proposal 3: Add the following section, and shift down all subsequent sections by one number (e.g. 19.B.a.10 would become 19.B.a.11, etc.)
“19.B.a.11. Construction, Court Weapon – includes weaponry designed for use other than on an Amtgard field. Live steel, non-legal foam weaponry, etc. Judged on appearance, quality, and originality.”
Rationale: Adds a section for non-legal Amtgard weaponry to be entered, separate from the Passive Construction category, to allow for more variety.
____ Yea ____ Nay ____ abstain
Proposal 4: Remove section 11.E. from the IM Corpora, and replace it with the following:
“11.E. Rules Representative.
11.E.a. For the purposes of maintaining continuity within the committee, the rules representative position is a life-time appointment, until otherwise decided by the individual holding the appointment or the reigning monarch. In the event that the appointment is dissolved, the reigning monarch shall appoint a new representative.
11.E.b. The representative will be the only person allowed to access the boards on Amtgardinc.com to discuss or suggest rule changes/clarifications. (Bulletin boards will be set up at Amtgardinc.com that will be used to post, discuss, and collate requested rule changes. These boards will be open to the public (read-only) to allow for the process to be visible to all members of Amtgard and to promote a more diverse discussion of these changes on Kingdom lists.)
11.E.c. The main duty of the representative is to poll the Empire for rule changes and clarifications, and then bring these clarifications or changes to the boards. The representative must remain in contact with the Monarch and populace in order to promote the Empire’s rules agenda.
11.E.d. The representative has the discretionary right to discard any rules clarifications or changes s/he deems inappropriate.
11.E.e. The representative will discuss these changes and clarifications on the Amgardinc.com boards to help clarify and clean up wording and intention in the changes.
11.E.f. The representative must transfer any rule changes from the discussion boards to the final request board before the last day in June, in voting years. (Clarifications must be transferred by the last day of June every year.) Any transfers after the date will be null and void for the current voting year.
11.E.g. Rules changes will be voted up and enacted every two years by the Circle of Monarchs. Rules clarifications will be voting on yearly by the Circle of Monarchs. The vote will happen every year during the Gathering of the Clans monarch’s meeting.
11.E.h. Clarifications for non-rule voting years will be printed out on an errata sheet (not a supplement) that will be supplied with the rulebook. These clarifications will be edited into the main rulebook on the following year when rule changes are edited.
11.E.i. Once the clarifications and rules have been compiled by an authorized representative of Amtgard, Inc., the representative will post a finalized list of rules changes/clarifications on the Kingdom mailing list and the Iron Mountains Forums.
11.E.j. As this is a lifetime appointment, the representative is ineligible to receive awards or commendations for his/her service in the role.
Rationale: Section 11.E deals specifically with the Inter-Kingdom Rules Committee, which is more or less defunct now that 7.0 has been released. This section reflects the rules process as voted upon and enacted by the Circle of Monarchs in Nov. of 2005.

Re:June 2006 All thing - 2006/06/02 12:27Shouldn't propositions one and three go to the sit-down althing? The margin of pass/fail for both of them was less than 60%.
Per corpora section 13.A.b.7:
"Ballots will be counted and items that pass or fail by a 60% or greater margin are considered decided and will not be discussed at the althing meeting. Everything else will be decided by majority vote of all eligible members of the Empire who choose to vote at the althing."
Thus, anything that does not pass or fail by a margin of greater than 60% is required to go to the sit-down discussion, as per my reading. I also think this is the way we've always handled it previously.Kord

Re:June 2006 All thing - 2006/06/02 12:58That is correct, But that falls to the emporer, (13.A.b.1. The Imperial PM is responsible for conducting the althing up to the point where actual sit down discussion is required. The Emperor/Empress chairs any actual Discussion.) I am just reporting the results of the vote at this point. But I should have said that can be changed by vote at the sitdown allthing.
The sit down is scheduled this saturday at CD I belive.It is the mark of an educated mind to be able to entertain a thought without accepting it. --Aristotle

Re:June 2006 All thing - 2006/06/04 11:05On another note it appears that the incoming imperial monarchy team did not qualify for office. They both have not become Corpora and reeve qualified and did not pass the muster of the A&S qualifications.
I am expecting to get an emergency all thing from the candidates to make an exception to the qualifying rule.

Re:June 2006 All thing - 2006/06/04 13:11Takezu,
Just I note on the Corpora and Reeves test issue. I am planning on taking the tests next weekend. The local GMR was not at the park this weekend.
As for the quals issue...feel free to conduct an emergency Allthing to ratify our ability to hold office.Hops.....Grains.....By God, my beer is a salad!

Re:June 2006 All thing - 2006/06/04 19:34...Was Shimitsukai there at all? I'm pretty sure I gave him at least 10 copies of the test to hand out to the people, seeing as he's running for GMR.Pain is only an illusion of the mind. If you can control the mind, you can control the illusion.
