Knight’s and Assistant Knight’s Secretary

From the FAQ: The Knight's Secretary is responsible for organizing and chairing the Knights' meetings, managing discussions and organising votes. Furthermore, the Knight's Secretary is a contact person for all Temple Members who wish to contact the Knights directly.

 

Here are a list of the duties of the Knight’s Secretary and their Assistant:

 

Journal Checking

 

The Knight’s Secretary is responsible for organizing the Journal Checking process for Novice’s. 

  1. A Novice will message you to let you know they have completed their journal
  2. You will then make a sticky post as follows: Journal Needing Checked:[Novice’s Name] in the IP Checking subforum in the Knight’s Chambers
  3. Two Knights will then agree to check the journal and post their thoughts on whether it passes/doesn’t pass and any corrections that need to be made
  4. The Knight suggesting the correction will then PM the Novice 
  5. Once all corrections are made, the two Knights will pass the journal
  6. The final post will come from you and it will say something like “Thank you”[Novice’s name] is ready for apprenticeship
  7. Unsticky the thread and change the title to Journal Checked [Novice’s Name]
  8. Place the person in the Initiate’s Waiting for Apprenticeship (Year). If there isn’t a thread, please make one and sticky it
