addressed numerous questions presented by the Board of Directors in the Fourth
Quarter of 2004. The topic that raised the most discussion concerned how much
information the SCA should release to the general populace as to the reasons
for an individual’s banishment, sanctioning and/or revocation of membership.
The Committee determined that only matters of public record should be released,
as in the case where an individual is convicted of or pleads guilty to a crime.
The Committee agreed that generalizations as to the most common causes of
banishment and membership revocation are acceptable to share with the general
populace. <o:p></o:p></span></font></p>

<p class=MsoNormal style='text-align:justify'><font size=2
face="Times New Roman"><span style='font-size:11.0pt'>Another topic of interest
was the “Coins of the Realm debate.” The Board of Directors asked for guidance
on creating policy regarding the SCA’s position on the use of commemorative
coins at events in place of <st1:country-region w:st="on"><st1:place w:st="on"><u1:country-region><u1:place>U.S.</st1:place></st1:country-region></u1:place></u1:country-region>
currency. The Committee noted that the use of such commemorative coins is a
form of barter exchange and therefore legally permissible. Merchants
participating in such an exchange would be solely responsible for any
additional tax reporting requirements. The Committee recommended that the SCA
neither require nor endorse the use of commemorative coins as currency at SCA
events, and drafted a proposed policy to that effect. <o:p></o:p></span></font></p>

reviewed and revised a resolution proposed by the Board of Directors concerning
the granting of authority to open bank accounts in the name of the SCA by
warranted treasury officers. Additionally, the Committee addressed questions
regarding the personal liability of the SCA, Inc.’s registered agent in the
instances of lawsuits filed against the SCA. The Committee unanimously agreed
that a registered agent’s sole duty is to timely forward the complaint or other
documents with which he was served to the officers of the corporation. A
registered agent should not have any personal liability for anything the
corporation may be sued for, even though he or she is named in the proceeding.
