[Officers] Appointment of Web Minister - an apology

[Ruslund Geyer via Officers]

Thank you, Liadain.  I can see where you would have gone the route you did.


Traditionally, Web Minister was one of our Great Offices, but positions such
as Chamberlain, Librarian, and Gold Key were deputies.  Since this would be
the beginning of Geoffrey's term, this is the right time to do it if we want
to shift it to a deputy position.  I can see an argument for both being an
full officer and for simply being a deputy.  Not managing a budget swings it
towards deputy in my opinion, however I don't have an issue with it
continuing as an officer position.  If we do decide to change it, we need to
remember to change it officially in the Customary.

Subject: [Officers] Appointment of Web Minister - an apology

 

Officers,

 

It has come to my attention that there has been some confusion about the
appointment of a Web Minister. I take full responsibility for this and will
correct what I see as the source of the miscommunication.

 

Per the Kingdom Seneschal, the office of Web Minister for sub-branches is
not a Greater Office and therefore would not go through the Officer
Selection Process. However, Appendix B of the Wyewood Customary lists Web
Minister along with the other office positions implying that it would go
through the process. I should have been more public about what was going on;
here is my recollection of the events


April - Isadora announces at the business meeting that she is stepping down.
May - I was not in attendance and Ameline covered the meeting for me; my
notes to her prior to the meeting indicate the need for a Web Minister. 
June - I announced at the meeting that we needed a Web Minister, Geoffrey
expressed an interest, and those in attendance thought it was a good idea.
July - Geoffrey sent a message to Their Excellencies and myself about his
interest and experience. We spoke, decided it was a good idea and announced
his acceptance at the meeting.

 

 

So, now what do we do? Your feedback is appreciated.
