HERALDRY: Atlantian Internal Results for May

[Dave Montuori <damont@wolfstar.com>]

Poster: Dave Montuori <damont@wolfstar.com>

Unto the Crown and Populace of Atlantia, and all others who read these
presents: greetings from Evan da Collaureo, Golden Dolphin Herald.

The May Letter of Intent meeting was held on Sunday, 16 May at War
Practice. Expected LoI meetings for the future include Saturday, 12 June, 
Sunday, 11 July, and Sunday, 1 August, both at places TBA. If you are 
interested in hosting or attending an LoI meeting, please contact me
for more information.

The Golden Dolphin Office generally tries to help Atlantian submitters
with name documentation. Sometimes this involves fairly easy work;
other times the task is more difficult. This is in keeping with the
Administrative Handbook of the College of Arms, which states: "The
submitter bears the primary responsibility for meeting procedural
requirements, but can and should be advised by heraldic officers at
the local level and above." This includes name documentation. Please
note, however, that PRIMARY responsibility rests with the submitter.
Unfortunately, over the past few months it has become obvious that the
name resources which my office can draw upon are almost completely
lacking in useful sources for period names from Asia, with the
exception of Japan. For various reasons we are unlikely to be able to
improve this situation. Therefore, I must announce the following policy:

Effective 1 July 1999, Atlantian submitters must bear the ENTIRE 
responsibility for providing adequate documentation for any Oriental 
names, and may not expect aid from the Golden Dolphin office. Such name 
submissions will be returned unless they include adequate documentation 
(including copies of the actual docs as noted before in previous Acorn  
columns). Okay, enough of the unpleasant news, on to the usual business.
