[SCA-AE] Side question on non-member surcharge

[Krista Traini]

With all due respect, Your Excellency, Don Clewin quoted from a relevant official document, and then provided a link to the document so that interested parties could read it in full.  The policy itelf directly answered the question.

 

I think that our populace should be actively encouraged to look up policies relevant to their situations, and share them.  I applaud Don Clewin's initiative and helpfulness.  If the Society and/or Kingdom Seneschal were required to verify or uphold clear policies (not needing interpretation in a given situation) every time a question comes up, then they would be doing very little else.

 

I fully agree that, should a policy be unclear in a particular situation, then those who have the official responsibility to interpret it should be the ones to do so.  But this was not the case here.
