Canton Meeting Minutes

Sunday December 19, 2004

Present: Lady Damiana Almodóvar, Lord Deiniol ap Gwyrgwst, Lady Eleanora the Tilemaker, Lord Corwyn, Lord Bilgisayar Tajir al-Hissoon, Fiona Villon, Lord William Graham, Lady Suba al-Hadid, Lord William Fitzwater, Sheila Fitzwater Magdalena, Woolly, Justin.

Emergency Meeting:

Called to order 1:10pm

Major purpose of this meeting is manyfold.
A) find out Keegans' response
b) based on his response make recommendations for January's meeting.

Corwyn's Report:

This is not a verbatim report, but here is the jist of it: I don't want to be a part of the sca, period. Maybe stay part of SCA as participant but not as an active member. Basically, in mild terms, he's out of the SCA for the time being.

We (canton) take this to mean he is stepping down, even though he has not conveyed this intent specifically to anyone, particularly his Drop Dead Deputy Seneschal and the Baronal Seneschal.

Bil: based on this we must assume we no longer have a Seneschal, and by Baronial and EK law the Drop Dead Deputy is now the Acting Seneschal. Drop Dead (Lord William Graham) accepted this duty.

In light of the fact that Kingdom wants us to press on (for other reasons previously enumerated), we shall press on.

It should be noted that this emergency meeting was planned as of the December meeting.

One of the things we had discussed a bit was to open the floor for nonimations for Seneschal, since we must have the minutes out 10 days before the next official meeting. This will allow us to vote on Seneschal at the January meeting. Minutes must be posted today or tomorrow in order to get out in time.

We want to keep this as open and up-and-up as possible - any nominations now or before the next meeting should go to both Drop Dead Deupty Seneschal and the Baronial Sensechal (per Baronial bylaws).

Must be a paid member at the time you put your name in, and must be a resident of the canton at the time you either put your name in and/or vote.

Any questions? None noted.

It must be noted that no-one in the canton holds any ill feelings toward Keegan - he has a very full mundane life. (general agreement ensued).

Damiana: We have an outstanding receipt to be paid to Keegan but the Finance Committee members haven't convened yet to approve the disbursement. Current members are William, Deiniol, and Fiona. We will convene that meeting immediately following this meeting.

Nominations for Seneschal:

Bil: Officially nominations for seneschal are open: Fitz nominates William, Deiniol second.
Nominations will remain open up to and including the next meeting.

Changing the meeting date:

Next meeting date will be January 3 2005.

Graham asks that we change meeting to 4th wednesday. Elenora's house is available. Any objections? None. Suba requests the 4th rather than the 3rd wed.. Since all are in agreement, we will meet January 3, and additionally the 4th wednesday.

Anyone in the canton can send in an absentee ballot for any vote even if unable to attend meetings. Should photocopy current membership card and include with proxy vote.
