The World Proposal Introduction


An outline proposal for a new international structure for the Society
Drafted by Will McLean (Galleron de Cressy)

Revised 7/30/97

Note that this proposal was submitted to the Board some time ago, and is no longer under active consideration by the Board or the Grand Council.

This proposal is put forward by the Grand Council, an advisory committee to the Board. It attempts to suggest a structure that will better meet the current needs of the Society as a worldwide organization. Briefly, it suggests that the administration of the Society be restructured as a federation of equal corporations, each responsible for mundane administration within its own jurisdiction, and each agreeing to follow the common rules of our medieval recreation. Those rules would be controlled by a body composed of representatives chosen by all the realms of the Society.

The proposal does not address all details of implementation, but tries to give a reasonably complete discussion of the core issues. The Board has taken no position for or against the proposal, and asks for your comments before considering it further. At this stage, this is only a proposal. If you have questions, comments or concerns, please say so.

Please send comments to the Directors at the corporate PO Box or to directors@sca.org,
the Grand Council at SCAGC-L@LISTSERV.AOL.COM,
or, better yet, both. You may send postal mail for the GC to:
Cyndi Baskett, P.O. Box 3460, University, MS 38677 (USA)
Janna G Spanne, Nyckelkroken 50, 226 47 Lund, Sweden,
Fax: +46 46 2224531 attn.: Janna G Spanne

A more detailed version of this proposal is posted here, or is available by e-mail from Galleron at mclean1382@aol.com. You are both welcome and encouraged to post or reproduce this proposal, provided you do so in full without alteration.
