<br>

here must have an opinion of what we've put<br>
together so far...<br>
<br>
<br>
Sorry about that, Lyle, was working on a scroll, doing research and as
a very, very, very junior person in this potential company, I fully
expected others to jump in before me. :-) <br>
<br>
Some quick thoughts - <br>
<br>
There is a lot of room in the expanse between Novice and Journeyman.
Not sure if this is a good thing or a bad thing.<br>
<br>
>>SKILL LEVELS/EXPERIENCE<br>
>>Novice –<br>
>>- teachable, willing and able to learn<br>
<br>
I would take out teachable. One person's unteachable is another's
perfectly fine.<br>
<br>
<br>
>>QUESTION: Who is responsible for determining when a person is
ready to<br>
>>advance to journeyman or master? How will this be done? How
will it be<br>
>>recognized (ceremony, badge, cord, etc.)?<br>
<br>
How was it done in period? I know that the Masters of Defense had
trials wherein someone would play their prize before judges. (Possibly
apples and oranges, but a potential way to do it). Perhaps the person
says, I believe that I am ready to advance, and gets a sponsor and then
proceeds?<br>
<br>
I'm not greatly in favor of badges or cords. Again, possibly something
that would have matched what was done in history.<br>
<br>
I'm more concerned not necessarily with attaboys, as I am with
advancing the idea of more historical ideals of promoting book craft
and encouraging their production.<br>
<br>
Now if I just had time. :-)<br>
<br>
>>ELECTIONS<br>
>>Elections for Master Warden and Wardens to be held every ___
years. <br>
<br>
I say two years.<br>
<br>
>>Elections to be held once company is established and stabilized.<br>
<br>
fair enough.<br>
<br>
>>Discussion: Length of terms / No term limit / ?<br>
<br>
<br>
Terms limits so that fresh blood can move in, new ideas are tried, and
people can retire in grace. :-)<br>
