[QUOTE="themaxx, post: 1181856, member: 4781"] Samuel rises somewhat slowly, looking about as if confused, and seems to be collecting his thoughts with his hands as he begins to speak softly. "I don't mind objecting to some of the terms of that Lemannus proposed, and I'd say the things we might want to fight for are the repayment of vis, and perhaps the votes in the Tribunals. Also, I am confident we can repay their manuscripts in kind, with copies or originals that the members of our covenant can create." [Samuel will not fight one way or the other on the terms except for a slower or lighter repayment of the initial vis given to the covenant. He has no specific agenda for that though.] "The proposals of my sodales for service to the covenant seem fair and just. We should all serve in the way that we are most effective, and thus strengthen the covenant. " [He does not care if a council, a vote, a primus or what determines this, so long as services remains flexible based on the member.] "As for a primus, um.... Well, who would _like_ the position? I don't really see how a primus should serve for life, so a set term makes more sense. Perhaps election every five or ten years? I'd think that some form of rotation would be healthy." [Anything that is not lifetime and that does not force everybody into the position is fine with him.] "Although a primus is surely necessary and well, helpful, I do not like the idea of a totalitarian or absolute primus. I much prefer we have various roles to serve, with the primus at the head as a coordinator, administrator and representative. A keeper of vis and a keeper of books both sound like good positions to have, and would help to utilize talents of other members of the covenant who might not be so interested in pursuing the position of primus." [Samuel objects to anything beyond a first among equals, and would strongly like at least two, if not more, supplementary positions for managing resources. Perhaps an additional person to look over the grogs, and another for groundskeeping and maintenance?] [Samuel offers little opinion or objection to the methods already proposed for new members, voting, name, charter revision or others.] [/QUOTE]
