To all the College of Arms and all others who may read this missive, from François Laurel, Zenobia Wreath, and Mari Pelican, health and good friendship.

The following is a table showing the status of Letters of Intent, Laurel Letters of Pend and Discussion, and Letters of Intent to Protect. The header rows are the dates of the meetings that will consider them, the dates when primary commentary is due, and the dates when responses to primary commentary are due. The key follows.

Month day: the date on the Letter of Intent, Letter of Pend and Discussion, or Letter of Intent to Protect.
(Month day): for administrative reasons, this LoI has not yet been scheduled.
[P Month day]: postmarked on that bracketed date, so the LoI is redated or postponed.
"-": no LoI is scheduled for that meeting from that kingdom.
?: tentative.

Aug: Pelican's main meeting was held on August 3. She held the usual Pennsic "road show" meeting on August 15, ruling on Calontir's LoI of April 26.

Feb: Wreath's meeting is tentatively scheduled for February 8. Pelican's meeting is scheduled for February 8.

Mar: Wreath's meeting is tentatively scheduled for March 22.

Not all letters of intent may be considered when they are originally scheduled on this cover letter. The date of mailing of the LoI, date of receipt of the Laurel packet, or other factors may delay consideration of certain letters of intent. Additionally, some letters of intent received may not have been scheduled because the administrative requirements (receipt of the forms packet, receipt of the necessary fees, et cetera) have not yet been met.

REMINDER: Until all administrative requirements are met, the letter may not be scheduled.

From Laurel: E-Mail Distribution of LoIs and LoCs

As we are more and more interconnected with electronic mail and it becomes a normal and preferred method of exchanging documents, it is only natural to set up facilities to aid in that interchange. One way to aid in the electronic dissemination of the Letters of Intent and Letters of Comment is by setting up official distribution lists. Such mailing lists give a single address to simplify sending to those who wish to get the letters via e-mail. A distribution list also allows a person wanting to receive the electronic letters to update a single location to receive the letters from many senders.

The distribution list for the Letters of Intent will be open to anyone who wishes to subscribe. A wider visibility of the LoIs can be a learning tool for those interested understanding how the processing of submissions works in the CoA. Although subscription to the list will be open to anyone, the postings to the list will be moderated. The file format standard for distribution will be RTF. The LoI mailing list address is LoI@sca.org. To subscribe to the LoI list, visit the Web page http://www.sca.org/mailman/listinfo/LoI.

The distribution list for the Letters of Comment will be a closed subscription list, allowing only the current members of the College of Arms to subscribe. All subscriptions and mailings to list will be moderated to ensure the traffic on this list remains on-topic. The list address is LoC@sca.org. To subscribe to the LoC mailing list, visit the Web page http://www.sca.org/mailman/listinfo/LoC.
