Since I haven't gotten any response from this on the Imperial Electors board, I'm going to post it here in hopes of getting something.
Galandor is asking the Imperial Estates to approve the following on a trial basis.
Knight Errancy:
1. Knight Errant: A Knight who can no longer fulfill his or her duties to the Peerage and to the Kingdom may elect to declare themselves an “Knight Errant”.
a. Such does not remove title or rank, but the member agrees to rescind themselves the following rights:
i. The right to vote in a Peer Circle
ii. The right to take a Squire
iii. The right to vie for the Crown of a Kingdom or Principality
iv. The Errant does not count toward quorum.
v. An Errant Combatant does not count toward a Knightly List, but may still win a Knightly List.
b. The peerage may declare an inactive Knight as Errant. This will be done by the tier to which the missing Knight belongs. Inactive will include no regular presence at events or on the boards for at least 1 year.
c. These rights, voluntarily or not, given up by the Errant can be taken up again upon a written letter of intent to the Peerage, 60 days before the resumption of the rights of the Peer.
d. Please note, this is for those Knights who are not able to be active in the Kingdom for a period of time. Abuse of this privilege may result in action being taken by the peerage.
We have at least 2 members of our peer circles that no longer attend any events. We've essentially placed them in this category, but we'd like official sanction to proceed on this. We'd like to put this in the Legis Galandoris to make it official and don't really want to wait until November to proceed with this. If this works well, we'll probably propose this to the full Imperial Estates in November.
Please feel free to post with any questions.
