[Antir_scribes] Bronwen says - quiet quiet list :-(

[Ed and Terri Morrison]

I know that the Kingdom Seneschal is updating the laws of AnTir
and I suspect - that she may have also asked the Principalities to update at 
the same time.

I know that she told the individual submitting Avacal's updated Laws that 
they needed to change the Principality Scribe to a Greater Office before she 
would accept the update - because she copied me on an e-mail when I put the 
discussion to her for her input.

We will get your situation fixed - I promise!!

I don't have job descriptions written up yet - but am beginning to think I 
should create an officers handbook.

So much to do!!!!
I will try to go after what seems the most important first - but we can get 
it all done (eventually)
(remember - its only been a month and a half)

I do appreciate you stating your desires!!!!!
It helps me with creating a good to-do list  :-)

>>Office, i.e.., handling money and receipts properly, reporting and
>>attending council meetings.
>>
>>The Baronial Scribe is not an under-office to any other Baronial Office

>>Kingdom Scribe, the Baronial Scribe is a "Greater" officer and
>>reports directly to either the Kingdom or Principality Scribe.

>>The Barony might also have a "Court" Scribe (similar to Their Majesties'

>>The "Court" Scribe may not handle money and may only make purchases thru

>>too???).
>>
>>The Baronial Scribe and the "Court" Scribe can be the same individual.
>>
>>The Barony may not ask the Scribes to be financially responsible for
>>materials needed to provide the Barony with award scrolls.  The Barony
>>should create a budget for these things.
>>
>>The Barony may not insist that the Scribes be solely responsible for
>>fund-raising to cover the Scribal/Award budget.
>>
>>The Barony should never pressure their scribes to create work only for the
>>Barony and should actually encourage working for Their Royal Majesties as

>>The Kingdom Scribe's and deputies' job descriptions are included - along
>>with the recommendation to base the Baronial Scribe's job loosely on the
>>jobs described.
>>
>>I asked the Baronial Senechals to please give the letter to their Baronial
