The committee is responsible for the mundane administration of the society in New Zealand. This includes such things as setting policy, membership structure and costs, insurance and such mundane issues as affect the SCA in New Zealand. The committee is purely a mundane body and with the exception of certain membership issues does not mandate "in-game" issues which are covered by kingdom law.
Committee meetings
Committee meetings are normally held virtually (online) typically on the 2nd or 3rd Sunday of the month at 7:30pm. Actual dates and times may vary at the discretion of the Committee members to avoid events or other commitments. Keep an eye on the Agenda announcements posted to the SCANZ Facebook Page and LochacAnnounce email list for the date/time of the next meeting.
Non-confidential portions of the SCANZ Committee meetings are open for others to observe. Please note that only the Executive (committee members, the Registrar, Treasurer and Kingdom Seneschal) shall have speaking rights. The Chair may vary this and invite others to speak. This will typically be reserved for:
• Those that have direct expertise or experience relevant to the topic
• Those that have been invited prior to the meeting to speak to the topic
• Those that have requested in writing prior to the meeting to speak to the topic
Online meetings are conducted using Discord. See the Agenda announcement for a link to the Discord server. These links expire periodically so if you are unable to connect please contact a committee member for an updated link. When you join the server you will be muted unless you are invited to speak.
