Office of the Secretary

    Office Description
  • record minutes of all official meetings
  • keep records of scrolls turned in
  • attend meetings as scheduled for the COS officers

    Details of Office:
  • Attend meetings of the College and record the reports and comments.
  • Keep a copy of the minutes and post same to the COS's e-list on Yahoo.
  • Keep a record of all scrolls turned in. The artwork (line drawing), painting
    (illumination), and calligraphy are considered separately, and may be done
    by one person or three on any individual scroll. These records keep track of
    how many scrolls an individual scribe has created, so that the supplies
    provided by the Kingdom can be equitably distributed. It also keeps track of
    the points accumulated by each participant in any of the scribal contests as
    devised by the COS Deans.

    Recording:
  • 1- the scribe may turn in scrolls directly to the Secretary, and give the
    Secretary a copy of the Reporting Form (also found online under the Yahoo
    group's files section). If there is contest in progress, and that contest has a
    particular theme, the scribe must also note how many of the scrolls are in
    keeping with the theme. If no Reporting Form is available, the Secretary
    will record the name of the scribe and the number of scrolls handed in,
    along with a notation of what aspect of the scrolls were done by whom. If
    there is contest in progress, and that contest has a particular theme, the
    Secretary will also note how many of the scrolls are in keeping with the
    theme. The Secretary will make a notation on the back of each scroll (date,
    initials, or a number) to show that it has been counted/recorded, and then
    hand over all scrolls to the Chart Signet.
  • 2- the scribe may turn in the scrolls to the Chart Signet or other officer, in
    person or by mail, and give the Secretary a copy of the Reporting Form
    (also found online under the Yahoo group's files section) at the next COS
    meeting. If there is contest in progress, and that contest has a particular
    theme, the scribe must also note how many of the scrolls are in keeping
    with the theme. Note: some scribes turn in scrolls directly to the Crown.
    The scribe is responsible for turning in a Reporting Form if they want any
    credit for the scrolls.
  • 3- the scribe may turn in the scrolls to the Chart Signet or other officer, in
    person or by mail, and send a copy of the Reporting Form to the Secretary
    by email. If there is contest in progress, and that contest has a particular
    theme, the scribe must also note how many of the scrolls are in keeping
    with the theme.

    Reporting Form:
  • If more than one scribe has contributed to a particular scroll, there must be
    a separate form returned for each person. If there is a contest in progress,
    and the contest has a particular theme, the scribe must note how many of
    the scrolls are within that theme. This is especially important if the scribe is
    turning in a mixed batch of scrolls, with some of them themed and some
    not.
