Gorovan's Bunch o' Corpora Change Proposals
“Fixes” are corrections to wording, phrasing, etc. These should be considered emergency corpora changes and implemented immediately, then confirmed by the populace at the next scheduled althing.
“Changes” are similar to Fixes, in that they correct missing or incorrect portions of the Corpora, but they should be discussed, as alternate solutions may be preferred by the populace.
"Proposals" are standard changes to the corpora, and follow the normal procedures thereof.
Proposal #1:
Membership > General Membership > #1ci
Current wording:
“Members under the age of 16 must have a parent contacted after a waiver has been turned in to verify the parent's knowledge.”
Proposed wording:
“Members under the age of 18 must have a parent contacted after a waiver has been turned in to verify the parent's knowledge.”
Fix #1:
Membership > Residency
Add clause 1a:
“For the purposes of attendance, a week is defined as starting on a Monday.”
Fix #2:
Chapters
Current wording:
“Chapters in a Kingdom are ‘ranked’ in order of size. From largest to smallest, these sizes
are:
a. Duchy
b. Barony
c. Shire
The chapter size gives a group rights to awards of different levels.”
Proposed wording:
“Chapters (or "parks") in a Kingdom are ranked based on size. From largest to smallest, these ranks are:
a. Duchy
b. Barony
c. Shire
Chapter rank gives officers of that chapter the right to grant awards of different levels.”
Proposal #3:

2. “In order to apply for a land status change, a chapter must meet all the requirements of a Sponsored Land and not be a part of a Principality.”
3. “Sponsored Lands need to wait twelve months after sponsorship before applying. They also need to follow the GV corpora during that time.”

Proposed wording:
1. “Members of Core Lands have the right to vote in the Kingdom althing and to run for Kingdom office.”
2. “Core Lands must not be a part of a Principality.”
