Potential New Peerage Exploratory Committee
Based on input from the Census results, as well as an examination of the breadth
and depth of participation across the Known World and the unique subculture,
ethos, and goals it has developed within the Society, the Board of Directors
intends to explore the possibility of creating a new peerage to recognize as
peers those participants who meet the general requirements for a patent of arms
and who demonstrate prowess in Rapier / Cut and Thrust Combat. As this would
potentially be the first additional peerage for the SCA in many decades, input
and feedback from the Known World throughout the exploratory process is
essential.
The SCA?s Board of Directors is seeking individuals interested in participating
in an Exploratory Committee focused on developing a set of options for potential
implementation of a new peerage for Rapier Combat and/or Cut and Thrust Combat.
This committee would be responsible for developing sets of recommendations for
heraldry, regalia, corpora changes and identifying and addressing associated
issues around creating and implementing such a peerage, and would consist of
representatives of the following categories:
? One recognized Rapier Fencer or Rapier Fencing Official
? One recognized C&T Fencer or C&T Fencing Official
? One Fencing Laurel (recognized for Fence)
? One Fencing Pelican (recognized for Fence)
? One Fencing Knight/Master at Arms
? Two Heralds
? One Non-Fencing Pelican
? One Non-Fencing Laurel
? One Non-Fencing Knight/Master at Arms
? One Lady of the Rose
? One expert in Corpora (e.g., Seneschal)
? One SCA Archivist or Historian
Please submit Letters of Intent by July 1st, 2012 and identify to which of the
above categories you are specifically applying. Those individuals who have
expressed interest already via the Comments email address or the Directors email
address will be considered.
Hard copies of resumes (both professional and SCA related, including offices
held and honors) must be sent to the attention of The Board of Directors, SCA,
Inc., P.O. Box 360789, Milpitas, CA 95036-0789. Electronic courtesy copies
should also be sent to [peerageexploratorycommittee at sca.org]
peerageexploratorycommittee at sca.org and resumes at sca.org.
The exploration into a new stand-alone Peerage for Rapier / Cut and Thrust is
driven not only by what the Board of Directors perceives to be a very high level
of support across the organization, but also because it expresses a defined and
specific culture that is unique and separate from chivalric armoured combat,
other martial arts, and the unique and separate cultures of the Arts and
Sciences and Service communities.
The results of this Exploratory Committee, along with comments from the populace
about those results, will then be reviewed by a much larger and more
representative Review Committee. The Review Committee will be established later
by the Board of Directors and will be comprised of representatives selected by
the relevant groups and organizations within and across the Society (e.g., the
Kingdoms, Peerages, Heralds, Seneschals, Grand Council, Rapier Fencing
Community, and C&T Fencing Community) as a final input into the process. The
Board will be working with those organizations to request their nominees
following the formation of the Exploratory Committee. The Board welcomes all
commentary throughout this exploratory process from the populace at large.
Please send commentary to [Comments at sca.org] Comments at sca.org and include
Potential New Peerage in the subject line.
