    That's usually my mindset, just run it myself and appoint when needed.  But since it's technically a club and I have to write up a charter, it's best to get input on what the other members want as well rather than making it the Michi Show.

    Edit: Actually, re reading that it sounds like more you're advocating basically everyone have equal power.  There's a few problems with that versus having a clear and definite person running things...one of the most obvious being since this gets its own forum, someone very clearly has to have permissions to pin/lock threads and whatnot for that forum.

  • To add to what Michi said, the Regional Clubs Act explicitly calls for the charter to include an explanation of the structure of the club, any positions, and the process of how a decision is made. I know clubs are informal, but at the very least there needs to be somebody responsible for making sure the club is in compliance with the Act (maintaining membership records and contributing an activity to the community every season).

    Otherwise, best of luck with the writing club! It's exciting to see another club take off like this. :)

  • Alright, it looks like Ordenes Trollmenn is our winning name!

    As for the leadership type, it looks like it's pretty divided between A and B...so I'm going to go with my original plan for now, and we can always change it up if need be!  So I'll be drawing up the charter and getting that up ASAP.  ^-^

  • Alright, here's the charter so far.  Let me know if there's anything that should be changed, edited to flow better, or anything of the like (and yes, I used the Howling Bells charter as a template.  ^-^)

    Quote
    Title
    1) This Act is to be titled as the Ordenes Trollmenn Act

    Purpose
    2) Ordenes Trollmenn shall be recognized as an official club of Wintreath under the aegis of the Regional Clubs Act and guided by the charter document below.

    Quote
    Charter of Ordenes Trollmenn

    Purpose
    1) Ordenes Trollmenn is a space for writers of all walks of life, new and old, to come together to share and support each other’s ideas and overall help each other in creating exceptional works.  It encourages folks who may be interested to dive into the craft knowing they’ll have a support system when they need it, and acts a safe non judgmental haven for folks who may be afraid to be vulnerable in sharing their artistic side with others.

    Membership
    2) Ordenes Trollmenn will be open to any and all forum and Discord members who are interested in the craft and are seeking a friendly support group to assist them along their literary endeavors.

    3) Members who have been banned from Wintreath or have likewise not contributed in the region in at least 3 months may be ejected from the club.

    4) Members who willingly attempt to plagiarize and pass off another’s work as their own will be ejected from the club immediately upon discovery.

    Structure
    5) The Scribe will be an elected member who will be responsible for maintaining the club in accordance to the upkeep requirements in the Regional Club Act in which duties include, but are not limited to: maintaining an up to date list of current and former members, setting up discussions or events to generate activity, approving/ejecting member applications, and other duties not listed in this charter.
    a) The Scribe will maintain their position until their departure from the club or region.  The first Scribe will be chosen via elections which will occur immediately upon the club’s creation.
    6) The Editor will be appointed by the Scribe, and will carry out any delegated duties as well as take on the role of Acting Scribe in the Scribe’s absence.
    a) The Editor will be appointed by the Scribe within one week of the Scribe taking office.

    The Challenge System
    7) A member including the Editor may at any point challenge the Scribe if it is felt that the Scribe is not doing their duties to the best of their abilities.
    a) The challenging member must put forth their case in the form of a campaign as to why they’re the better choice for the position.  Likewise, the Scribe must also put forth their case in the same form as to why they deserve to stay in the position.
    b) Both members will have one (1) week to put their cases forward, and failure to do so may lead to an automatic challenge withdrawal in favor of the campaigning party.
    c) If the criteria is met by both sides, elections will immediately take place after, and the winner with the most votes will be elected.

    Revisions to the Charter
    8 ) This charter may be revised with the support of at least 65% of the Club, as shown by a petition signed by the required number of members, and upon any further approvals required by the Regional Clubs Act.
