Bylaw Revision: Reporting Proceedures

The following change is proposed to bylaw 8.D.3, 8.D.4, and 8.D.5
Currently the Bylaws State :

D) Reporting
i) All reports are out-of-character information except as specifically and mutually agreed between Storytellers and Coordinators for the sake of story, plot or continuity.
ii) Chronicles that do not speak or write English as a primary language are encouraged to maintain contact with OWBN as above, as best they can. The Council understands that reports may not arrive in English.
iii) Chronicle reporting
(1) Each member chronicle of OWBN is required to report to the Archivist, Head
Coordinator (HC), and Assistant Head Coordinators (AHC ) either in writing via email, or via the appropriate Internet submission form on the OWBN website.
(2) The report may be written by any member of the storytelling staff of each
chronicle, but must be submitted by either the HST or Council Member, to ensure its
validity. These reports shall be due on the first day of March, June, September and
December.
(3) Chronicle reports are to be submitted in order to:
(a) Keep track of your Chronicle so we know you're still operational.
(b) Track who is supposed to be on which global administrative lists.
(c) Deal with inter-chronicle disputes as they arise.
(d) Log any issues the chronicles may have.
(e) Encourage interaction with less vocal chronicles.
(f) Maintain an approximate census of our population.
(4) Historical Report
(a) This report shall consist of:
(i) Chronicle Name/Appellation/Location.
(ii) List of Council Member and storytelling team (including e-mail addresses and/or phone number for emergency access).
(iii) Current chronicle web page address.
(iv) Dates of game(s) played that month.
(v) Approximate attendance.
(vi) In-character (IC) events that may affect the plots of other
chronicles.
(vii) Inter-chronicle interactions that affect the plots of any other
member chronicles.
(viii) Other matters the reporter feels are relevant.
(5) Disciplinary Report
(a) The chronicle may submit any chronicle disciplinary actions to the elected Archivist via their bi-monthly chronicle report, which then will compile and
maintain a record of all members given chronicle disciplinary actions. This list
will be available to any ST, Council Member, or Coordinator within OWBN.
They may ask the Historian/Archivist for the list of players, or may inquire
after a particular member in that regard.

(b) The permanent banning of a member from a chronicle under Section 1.d
or by the chronicle's disciplinary procedures must be announced by said
chronicle on the ST and OWBN-council mailing lists.

(c) A Storyteller from the chronicle that submitted the disciplinary action may
have said action removed from the Archivist's records.
