House of the Sword Steward Responsibilities

[Pantso]

Responsibilities of the Steward of the House of the Sword
The House of the Sword shall be administered by the House Steward, who will serve for a period of 9 months, after which a poll must be taken for the Steward position. The incumbent may re-run. There will be a 1 week period to declare candidacy and a 1 week period for voting via poll. Anyone in the House at the start of the candidacy period shall be eligible.

The Steward will have their following responsibilities:

* Maintain the Roster and keep it up-to-date
* Foster activity within the House
* Post polls when decisions must be made, and serve as tiebreaker as necessary.
* Organize the House for competitions
* Promote recruiting and maintain a list of recruiters
* Maintain the Steward's Office to serve as a place to discuss House issues, rules, and other House matters.
* In the event the Steward requires assistance fulfilling these responsibilities, they may temporarily delegate any to willing and able House members.

These responsibilities will take effect upon a majority vote, immediately with the consent of the current Steward spratlyislands or immediately following the next election for Steward.

Would just like to clarify that I am not a male.

I think all of those responsibilities are suitable for a steward to do. Also, I would suggest maybe 8 or 9 month terms.

* foster House activity
* keep House roster up-to-date

- Elections should be held for the steward position every 6 months (or a year?), where the incumbent can run again (there is no mandate limit) and every other member of the House can also run after declaring their will to do so. 1 week for declarations followed by 1 week of elections (with a poll); the one with most votes wins, if there is a tie, a second round is needed.

spratlyislands, as the current steward, do you have any suggestions?

[Pantso]

Sorry spratlyislands! I'm usually more careful about that. 

[spratlyislands]

I agree with your suggestion Tuga.

Also, no harm done.

[Markanite]

This all sounds good to me too!

The polls are in and it's 7 in favor, 1 against the steward responsibilities as written in the poll. I will update the top post in the thread to make sure they're in line with what we voted on. I think we do need spratlyislands to confirm it's OK for those responsibilities to take effect now; otherwise they don't take effect until the next Steward is elected.

Ok
