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 Pelican: Changes to the Alternate Titles List **** This month we considered a proposal by Loyall to remove the title _Baron_ from the list of alternate titles for Turkish. She argues: As a Turkish word, appears to be a borrowing of the modern English term. I have found no evidence that it was used in Turkish in our period. A number of other Turkish titles which were found to be modern were removed from the list of alternate titles on the November 2007 LoAR; _Baron_ was accidentally omitted from Loyall's original proposal, and we now remedy this mistake by removing it. **** Send What to Whom **** Letters of Intent, Comment, Response, Correction, et cetera are to be posted to the OSCAR online system. No paper copies need be sent. Submission packets (one copy of each name form plus documentation, including petitions; two colored copies of each armory form plus two copies of any associated documentation, including petitions) to the SCA College of Arms, PO Box 31755, Billings, MT 59107-1755.
