Seneschal

Hello and greetings to my friends and neighbors in the Valley! Checked with all Kingdom Officers on warranting status Chatelaine needs to complete warranting, and Chronicler can now start the warranting process.

Motion William Graham to close nominations and hold a vote on Chronicler. Suba second. Motion passes.

Vote to have Bilgisayar as Chronicler passes.

Thanks to the Herald for cc-ing the Seneschal on the herald's quarterly report. All are welcome to cc the sensechal as well.

Reports are important, since in June we're going to apply for full Canton Status. This will be the beginning of the process to become a full canton, which will include polling the populace and calling for a full vote.
