As per previous feedback from the populace, I am posting these amendment proposals for the October Althing very early to allow for plenty of time for discussion.
The following is The proposed amendments for Article IV of our Corpora. Notes on what the amendment hopes to achieve in brackets
1. Section 1: Add as Item 5:
5. Other positions for local lands (class guildmasters, etc.) may be created as desired by the local Monarch. The duration of these positions will not extend past that Monarch’s reign, unless reinstated by the next Monarch. These positions shall not have powers that supercede any already given to an officer described in this corpora.
[Explicitly allow class guildmasters and other more flurby concoctions at the local level and ensure that they can’t do anything above the core officer structure of Amtgard.]
2. Section 2, Item 2: Strike out and replace with:
2. Only voting members who have passed the most recent Reeves test may vote for the Guildmaster of Reeves.
[Rephrasing to be easier to understand.]
3. Section 2, Item 10: Add as subitem b and renumber existing subitems accordingly:
10. The Guildmaster of Reeves:
b. Though previous GMR’s tests may be used with permission from that GMR, the current GMR must ensure that the tests are current to the most recent RoP published.
[In the past, a previous GMR's tests have been recycled. This codifies the asking of permission and for the GMR to ensure the test is still accurate.]
4. Section 2, Item 10, subitem d: Change "Rules of Play" to "RoP" [for consistency.]
5. Section 2, Item 10, subitem f: Append "for that specific Crown Qualifications" at the end. Should now read:
10. The Guildmaster of Reeves:
f. If a person fails two Reeve, or two Corpora tests, they will be considered as failing the tests for the purposes of running for office for that specific Crown Qualifications.
[Minor clarification.]
6. Section 2, Item 11: Rephrase to read:
11. The Guildmaster of Reeves may not hold any of the four Monarchy offices within the Kingdom or their local land concurrently.
[For clarification.]
7. Section 4, Item 3, subitem d: Replace "nirvana" with "respawn" to match the current phrasing in the RoP.
8. Section 5, Item 1: Replace with:
1. The Captain of the Royal Guard (“Captain of the Guard”) is in charge of security when no Security Crat is designated by the Kingdom event Autocrat, otherwise they shall assist the designated Security Crat. At the local level, the Captain of the Guard shall do the same at all local chapter events.
[To reflect the reality of how most events are ran and to still give the Captain of the Guard a purpose within that reality.]
9. Section 2: Add as item 3 and renumber existing items accordingly:
3. The Guildmaster of Reeves shall be elected during the Time of the Crown.
[To resolve the loop hole opened in suggestion 2 above.]
10. Section 4, Item 1: Rephrase to say "Time of the Crown" instead of "Month of the Crown" [for consistency with the rest of the corpora.]
11. Section 7-9: Renumber to be Sections 6-8, [as there is currently no Section 6]
