[Jonathan Christophé]

May I note that I do not intend for the Order to get involved with the whole Ro Lavalon/Avalonia debate.

Looking back on this now, I see that this draft may put too much power in the hands of the Commanders.


Please, I would like everbody, *everybody* with an interest in Lavalon to participate in the drafting of the rules for the Order.

[Xon]

I cannot wait to be a part of this. ;D

[Jonathan Christophé]

Okay... things to add...

Who elects the Grand Master?

I suppose a majority of all knights.

[admin]

that would leave it all up to xon. he's the only active knight. ( i assume he is still a knight, correct?)

[timjr]

Well, me and Klaas to be fair. I suppose he could be contacted.

[Jonathan Christophé]

Well, as of now, by Lavalonian law I am the Grand Master/Master of Both orders, and I suppose I would continue to be after their joining.

I ment that as, "How the Grand Master is elected is not in this draft, any suggestions? *pause**think to myself* Well, to be democratic, I guess the knights would elect the Grand Master by majority rule.

[admin]

so... when you quit being grand master... how will the next be decided?

ok, yeah vote of the knights is good.

yea xon, you're the only "active" knight. Klaas can't be bothered with MN stuff right now anyway.

Jon posted in Breuddwyd's forums about this trust:

Because Breuddwyd shares the same origin as the Republic, and because Ciaron was the originator of this culture, I truly wish that He, with the rest of Breuddwyd\'s citizens, would give a hands on approach to shaping this endeavor.

What roles are you interested in Breuddwyd playing here?

[csmith]

Breuddwyd has no control over Lavalonian culture. When Kieran left Lavalon to found Breuddwyd, he gave up his influence over all things Lavalonian.

[admin]

Actually.. that treaty, whereever it went... states that Lavalon and Breudwydd were founded in the tradition of SP of Lavalon. That suggests that both countries should have some impact on the culture... since the Lavalon Trust looks, to me at least, to be an independent organization... somewhat like the Lavalon Foundation.

[Sullifree]

Jon went to our board and invited us to help. If he invited us and he is running this organization, especially considering this is the LAVALON Trust and not the REPUBLIC OF LAVALON Trust, I think we are involved enough in the culture to help.

[csmith]

Oh yes, that treaty that I was never informed about, despite the fact that I was the Ambassador to Breuddwyd.

[admin]

yes, that treaty.

may I suggest you start a sticky thread in the Dept of State to display our treaties, so this wont happen again.

[csmith]

Where are all the treaties? For some reason, I never hear about them, and it's not because I don't pay attention.
