> 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.)
>
> B) The representative position is an open-ended appointment (The
> appointment can be ended by either party, Monarch or rep at any
> time.) This is to allow for consistency amongst the reps.
>
> C) The reps can be removed from the position at any time by the
> current Monarch of their Kingdom. (This is to allow for the removal
> of a rep that does not meet the Kingdom standards.)
>
> D) The rep answers directly to their Kingdom Monarch
>
> E) The representative must be a current member of the Kingdom in
> which he/she is to serve.
>

> and clarifications then bring them to the boards. Each rep must
> remain in contact with the Monarchy and Populace in order to promote
> the Kingdom's rule agenda.
>
> G) The reps have the discretionary right to discard changes that are
> obviously inappropriate.
>

> I) The reps 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.
>
> 2) Rule changes will be voted upon and enacted every two years. (The
> first year of this process will be at the Gathering of the Clans
> 2006.)
>
> 3) Clarifications will be voted upon every year.
> 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.
>
> 4) A representative of Amtgard Inc. will compile the finalized list
> of change/clarifications (without any
> changes) and will supply copies for the official vote.

> list.
>
> 5) The vote will be held at the Gathering of the Clans, during the
> Monarch's meeting.
>
> 6) Only Monarchs may cast a vote at the meeting unless a
> representative (a representative of the Kingdom not necessarily the
> rules representative, although the rules representative is eligible
> for this
> duty) has been appointed by them, in
> writing, before the meeting. (It is in every Kingdom's best interest
> to have a representative of their land with a list of votes at this
> meeting.)
>
> 7) Only the items on the finalized list will be voted upon.
> Absolutely no rules or clarifications will be accepted on site for
> change.
>
> 8) Each item on the finalized list will be voted upon with a 75%
> majority of the assembled Monarchs (representatives of the Kingdom)
> required for it to pass.

> errata sheet for clarifications on non-rule years.).
>
> 10) All rule changes and clarifications are effective one month from
> the date of the meeting.
> Errata sheets and edits will be posted at amtgardinc.com by this
> date.
