Administration

Main article: 2008 Admin Meeting

Major changes included changing Membership Admins to rotating position. Some of the administration housed within the Department of Real Life Services transferred to the Department of Administration when it was disbanded. Administrators in the Department of Membership became positions that rotate. Membership admins cannot serve consecutive terms in the same position, though they can serve consecutive terms in different positions and can serve even in the same position more than once.

Membership

General

Administrators and Executives will be restricted to one active mentee. The ban on interaction between Novices and Recruits was lifted. Regarding demotions, Senior Members may petition for demotion after they have been an SM for at least one year. This petition, as always, must be approved by the Amyrlin, the Keeper, and the Director of Membership. Someone who demotes may not Aspire to a group for 3 months and may not be raised for at least 6 months. In addition, contributions will be thoroughly tracked so that this information can be brought to the Hall when a member is up for raising.
