I've been having some severe problems =

but I don't know what
else to do about this problem: Chapter reports =
(primarily) are still not
being submitted according to the published required =
report format (that's up
on the Website). I hoped that giving the =
Coordinators a standard format --
and then writing software that practically writes =
their entire report for
them in the proper format -- would encourage them to =
make the changes, but I
guess even that is not enough. With 48 =
reporting units in the Region,
trying to to decipher all the varying formats just =
makes the work I have to
do a lot harder.
Compound that with the feeling that the =
Coordinators are not reading this
report (as it's incorporated into the RC report) to =
look for answers to some
of their questions (as evidenced by the same =
questions appearing from
month-to-month), and I have to wonder if anything =
that I'm doing here is
having any kind of benefit for the Region or the =

VIII. Prestige Nominations
I. Introduction
This is my initial report upon receiving the ARC: =
Mentor position. It will
be somewhat lengthy in order to properly address my =
ideas, intentions, and
general estimated timeframes for the various projects =
I hope to accomplish
while I hold this position. As such I would =
hope that future reports will
not be quite as lengthy.
II. Completed Projects: Met with various people =
in a session of ideas and
planning to give direction to the services offered by =
the incorporation of
my position.
1. Web resource: This is an online =
resource to provide quick and easy
answers to a great many of the Region's Coordinator's =
needs, both incoming
and present. It will also allow for greater =
uniformity in procedure and
documentation of the different Coordinator =
functions.
a. Regional Policies
b. Prestige Audit Guidelines and Primer
c. Report Template
d. Coordinator Training Syllabus
e. Conflict Resolution and Arbitration =
Procedures
f. Applicable National Policies
g. General Coordinator FAQ
h. Recruiting Methods and Ideas
i. Leadership Methods and Tactics
2. Coordinator Training Staff: This is a staff =
that will be charged with
auditing and providing periodic observation, =
training, and fact finding to
the various Coordinators within the Region. New =
Coordinators will
eventually have a set indoctrination program given by =
a qualified trainer to
assist in priming them for leading a Chapter. =
They will also learn the
different techniques used by the existing, successful =
Coordinators to
provide ideas for the other coordinators, providing =
the best and most
efficient methods possible to the Region.
3. Mentor Staff: These will be individuals =
within the Region who wish to
provide contributions to projects without a firm time =
commitment. They will
be coordinated by an appropriate AARC: Mentor.
4. AARC: Mentor: These will be individuals =
within the Region who wish to
assist the ARC by leading the various projects. =
They will compile monthly
reports as to the projects progress and provide an =
improved and controlled
method of completing multiple projects in a timely =
manner. As long term
projects are begun, there shall be more =
appointed. Precedence will be given
to existing staff members as they become =
available.
a. Training: This will be the AARC in charge of =
the Coordinator Training
Staff.
b. Web Resource: This will be the AARC in =
charge of coordinating the
various coding and web aesthetics of the Web =
Resources. This will be
necessary to alleviate the potential of the ARC: Web =
being overwhelmed by
the amount of new information being posted.
B. Junior Camarilla/Junior Membership: Met with =
various people in a
planning session for the possibility of under =
eighteen memberships or the
support of local young role players. We =
discussed two avenues of approach
for either a national implementation or a regional =
implementation.
1. National Implementation
a. Membership Types: To better reflect the =
needs of young members as
pertaining to their typical monetary needs and the =
differing services they
will need a distinguishing membership type. =
Also in our discussion we spoke
about the possibility of rewarding long time members =
(5 or 6 years +) with a
senior or elder membership package at a rather =
reduced yearly rate to reward
loyalty to the club and also to perhaps help =
encourage retention.
1) Junior/Neonate: A membership for those under =
the age of 18. Might
confer all membership privileges except access to =
main chronicle. Could
count towards Elder Membership. Junior =
Chapters.
2) Normal/Ancilla: Our tried and true account =
that we're used to.
3) Senior/Elder: A possible reward class for =
continued service and
membership to the club. Could include certain =
benefits like potential
eligibility to signature characters.
b. Junior Chapters: Junior Chapters will be =
chapters made of junior
members. Each will have an adult from either a =
local chapter or the Region,
if no chapter is available locally, to act as liaison =
and mentor for the
Chapter. They will assist with promoting the =
Junior Chapter's charity work,
ability to reserve play sights, and generally be =
available to answer
questions and provide good, solid guidance as to what =
the Camarilla
Organization stands for and the rules and such =
associated with membership.
c. Junior Troupe Games: Junior Chapters for the =
most part will want LARP
games. As such it would be advised to allow all =
venues with the exception
of the Sabbat Venue. Due to the themes of =
Sabbat being very violent,
graphic, and all around the most disturbing of venues =
it should be kept as
an over 18 venue for legality purposes. Junior =
troupe games should also
have a supporting ST staff liaison for rules =
questions and to assist in
their blending as they transfer into the main =
chronicle.
d. Assessment poll: In order to better judge =
the need, acceptance, and
needs of such a project, it was discussed that we =
poll across the country as
well as possible. This will give a greater feel =
and confidence that the
project shall be supported and should also promote =
interest in the endeavor.
There will be three distinct polls.
1) Target audience: This poll will be geared to =
measure interest and
provide insight into what services Junior Members are =
most interested in.
2) Parents: This poll will be geared to measure =
the affected parents'
concerns and desires if such a project were to =
achieve fruition. This may
potentially pre-empt parental concerns down the =
line.
3) Educators: This poll will be geared towards =
the local educators who have
to deal with the target audience and will potentially =
be affected by such a
program as High School Gaming groups fall directly =
into the target audience.
2. Regional Level: In the case that White Wolf =
or the National Coordinator
staff doesn't like or has reservations about the Jr. =
Camarilla on such a
large scale, the plans will also have the contingency =
of being implemented,
minus the fee for them to join, on a Regional level =
to test the mechanics
and potential problems.
III. Current Projects
A. Timeline: One of the basic needs of my =
position overall is to formulate
a good working timeline, giving an order of =
precedence to all of the ideas
that I wish to realize. Separate timelines will =
be formulated for both the
Jr. Camarilla idea and the general Mentor =
ideas.
B. Trainer Staff: These will be the people who =
will assist and give input
into the projects as to how best to do a Coordinators =
job. I presently have
a list of names from throughout the region that I =
will be hitting up for
some input. They will be involved in the =
training syllabus, FAQ, and the
general content that will go on the Website.
IV. Future Projects: This will be dependent upon =
the Timeline for exact
order and implementation.
V. Questions:
A. Is it valid to work on both the National and =
Regional versions of the Jr.
Cam or should I limit it down to one or the =
other?
B. Are there any projects you would like to see take =
precedence over others?
C. Is there any limit to the amount of Regional =
Prestige I might recommend
and/or the number of people I can gainfully =
employ?
~~~~~RC Note: I would really want it limited to 5 at =
this moment.as things
grow and you need more, we'll go over that when it =
happens~~~~~
D. What is the standard procedure for the creation and =
utilization of staff
lists. I estimate that within a month or two, I =
will have need for a couple
different ones for ease of communications.
E. Will it be possible, with the advent of the =
Coordinator audit, for the
Regional representatives to disallow individuals or =
recommend disallowing
certain individuals should they prove unable or =
unwilling to meet the
acceptable standard for coordinators, which shall be =
approved by the
Regional Coordinator?
F. Should I consider adding a Charity branch to the =
Mentor arm position?
~~~~~RC Note: Charity good!!! ~~~~~

Arbitration/Administration
SWARC ADMINISTRATION REPORT- March 2002
1. SUMMARY
2. QUESTIONS/CONCERNS
3. PROBLEMS/SOLUTIONS
1. SUMMARY
Another month filled with =
questions, answers, and a lot of list support.
I have those fairly well automated at this point, so =
it's not as time
consuming as before. The questions and answers are =
always time consuming,
but
that's the gig I signed up for. :)
2. QUESTIONS/CONCERNS
Everything seems fairly up to date =
at this point. It looks like the club
is finding a new equalibrium with the White Wolf take =
over, and new chapters
are cropping up all over the place.
As a head's up, I've inherited the =
ARC Arbitration job from Shawn
Jackson, and it looks like there's only one lingering =
issue still floating
around at the moment. Shawn is going to forward me =
the emails, and I'll find
out if either party actually wants to take any =
further action. It seems as
though they've put it behind them, to a certain =
degree.
I expect this next month to be =
very busy, all the same.
3. PROBLEMS/SOLUTIONS
I'm happy to say the issue with =
the "Pillars" Chapter is finally
resolved. James Webster, the new CC, ponied up ten =
free and clear members
and
all is well. He's got Mike and Shawn as contacts =
already, so I figure he's
in
good hands. On that same note, the pending issue with =
Louis Sommers is also
concluded, and it looks like everyone's old luggage =
is finally off the front
porch.

4. RECEIVED REVIEWS
5. REVIEWS IN PROGRESS
6. APPROVED REVIEWS
1. SUMMARY
I was able to get only a few audits accomplished this =
month due to some
lack of responsiveness and I wasn't at my own office =
for the past week and a
half (where I do most of my auditing) so things like =
9/11 prestige isn't yet
prepared.
Due to fun real life stuff, I needed to take a week =
sabbatical from all
things Cam, but I expect to have all current audits =
in process and
(hopefully) completed by this time next week. =
However, I will be mostly
offline between 4/26 and 5/4 for a couple of events I =
have committed time
to. I will still be checking over e-mail at =
this time in case there are any
emergencies, but if someone has an emergency with =
prestige, I'm wondering if
they need to take a sabbatical as well.
So then, in my April report I will report the final =
totals of the SWRE 2000
prestige and 9/11. I am still awaiting the =
recommendations for the LA Ball
2000 before I can verify the totals. I'll =
follow up on that, and maybe,
just maybe, I will be able to post those as =
well.
2. QUESTIONS/CONCERNS
None at this time.
3. PROBLEMS/SOLUTIONS
I was so greatly disappointed by the amount of =
responses I received to
collecting the 9/11 data. I find it hard to =
believe that I have more
members in my chapter than region members who =
committed time and efforts to
being good samaritans. However, after reading =
the chapter reports, I
realize that with the constant flux of coordinators, =
that the means I used
may not have been realistic to gain the proper =
tallies. Therefore, in the
next couple of days, I will be reposting a =
request on the general region
list, in hopes that members will pass word to their =
chapters and CCs.
I would like to thank those CCs and DCs who did, in a =
timely manner, send
me their totals.
