Reorganization and Repurposing
Posted: Sun Mar 10, 2013 2:16 pm
Having spoken with both Scott and Andreas, they have expressed that they no longer have the time or desire to continue administering the ICM. As such I have asked them to endorse myself in replacing them, and they have granted that endorsement. Given the recent consolidation of the forums, I wish to pursue a plan that will streamline the efficiency of these derelict organizations in give them an enlivened purpose for serving the community.
Therefore what I am proposing is that the ICM establish itself as an umbrella organization for the subset of organizations now under its care; including the Apollo Foundation and College of Arms. The Micronational Speech Society will be absorbed by the ICM since its functions are the same.
The ICM will take over all administrative duties of the aforementioned organizations. A clear set of tasks and resources will be designated for each of these organizations. And those who wish to act as Contributing Editors can have the leisure of contributing at their own pace without the pressure of having to administer the actual functions of the organization.
Thus, organizationally, the ICM will be formed thus:
International Centre for Micropatriology (parent organization)
-- Oversees the creation and/or preservation of historical documents
-- Focuses on the preservation and display of micronational oratory and literary works
-- Provides assistance in methods of historical preservation and cataloging
-- Provides assistance in micronational workings: diplomatic protocols, mapmaking, wiki editing, etc.
- The Apollo Foundation
-- Oversees the preservation of dead micronations, focusing on their websites, forum(s), and imagery
- The College of Arms
-- Provides assistance and how-to help in creating micronational arms
-- Strives to catalog and preserve micronational arms and heraldry
