demos, Minors, Seneschal, Waivers

seneschal_badgeGreetings to All Kingdom Seneschals in North America,

There has been much discussion lately concerning the use of waivers at demos held by local groups.

After reaching a consensus with the Corporate officers, effective immediately, waivers are required for demos that allow the public to participate in combat archery and/or thrown weapons.

At that point, with possibly other activities as well, viewers become participants and a waiver must be signed.  Minors MUST have their parent or legal guardian sign such waivers.

The Seneschal’s Handbook will be updated very soon to reflect this policy. […]

Thank you for your support.

Respectfully,
Mike Watkins
Society Seneschal

From the Kingdom and Society Seneschals

Seneschal

Forwarded by request of Duke Christopher, Æthelmearc Seneschal, from the Society Seneschal:

To all Kingdom Seneschals,

I want you to alert all of your officers (Kingdom and local group officers) that DOXXING (i.e. posting personal information/contact information/political information about individuals) is a violation of the SCA Code of Conduct and the Anti-Bullying and Harassment policy. DOXXING is also against the law in California and a number of other jurisdictions; furthermore, DOXXING may likewise be actionable as an Invasion of Privacy which may result in a civil suit and money damages. Please convey to all of your officers at both the Kingdom and local group level that any officer or agent of the SCA found to be DOXXING is subject to termination from their office.

Additionally, I am instructing all Kingdom Seneschals and their deputies to obtain screen-shots of instances of DOXXING by any participant as this cannot be tolerated.

Everyone needs to contemplate the consequences of their actions. I know that there is a lot of anger and frustration over the events of the past week; however, as officers and agents of the SCA, we must act in accordance with the very foundations of this organization: courtesy, honor, chivalry and respect. We are and should be held to a higher standard and yet, there are allegations that at least one officer took part in DOXXING.

We have a responsibility to be leaders– to be part of a solution and not part of the problem, even when the fog of division, discord and blame make it hard to see what is truly important to us all.  It is times like these when we need to pull together, rally around what is good about our Society and lead by example. Even when the world appears bereft of courtesy, honor, chivalry and respect, we need to be an example of these virtues.

Very truly yours,
A.J. Pongratz
Vice President of Operations, SCA Inc.
Society Seneschal

Seneschal

seneschal_badgeUnto the Kingdom of Æthelmearc, Greetings from Duke Christopher, Seneschal.

At the request of the Corporate Office, I would ask that any request for a background check be directed specifically to me and only me. Please do not forward these requests independently of me to the Society. These must go to the Corporate Office only after they have been approved by me.

Background check request forms can be emailed to ae.seneschal@aethelmearc.org. Email is preferred, but if necessary, they can be sent by USPS to me at Chadd Nesbit, 1437 Greystone, Pittsburgh, PA 15206.

Thank you for your cooperation in this matter. If you have any questions, please do not hesitate to seek me out.

Yours,
Christopher

Seneschal

seneschal_badgeThis message was posted at the request of Mistress Cori Ghora, Kingdom Seneschale.

I will be conducting Kingdom business through the new Kingdom phone number for the rest of my term. This is 920-931-2523   OR   920-931-ALCE

Remember to dial 1 first.

When I pass the office of Kingdom Seneschal to Duke Christopher Rawlins in the fall, the phone will also pass to him, so the number will remain the same.

Yes, it is a Northshield area code.  It was the only Google phone number I could get that had SOMETHING to do with Æthelmearc in it.

The phone companies have not yet come to terms with our Æ.

Thanks,

cori
