Announcement from Kingdom Minister of the Lists

Greeting East Kingdom,

I unfortunately come bearing news that due to cumulative changes in life circumstances beyond my control, I will very shortly no longer have the capacity to continue as the East Kingdom Minister of Lists. I am saddened to announce I have to step down after Crown Tourney. In consultation with Their Majesties and Their Highnesses, applications will be immediately sought to select my replacement.

The KMOL office is a data intensive role that requires a level of organization and comfortability with technology. The core duties of the role are defined in EK Law:

1. Maintains accurate records on the armored combat and rapier activities and the authorization status of the armored and rapier combatants of the Kingdom.
2. At every Royal List / Crown Tournament, coordinates the official record of fighters, assuring that all entrants are authorized. They also prepare, coordinate and maintain the official records of the double elimination tournament and any other tournaments held in the course of the Royal List.
3. Provides the Earl Marshal, Kingdom Warlord, Kingdom Marshal of Armored Combat, and Kingdom Marshal of Rapier with information necessary for the performance of their duties and receives any assistance necessary for the performance of the Lists Office.
4. Works with the Kingdom Marshal of Armored Combat and the Kingdom Marshal of Rapier to maintain a list of authorized fighters. This list is made available to all Ministers of the List on a local or regional level, as well as the Earl Marshal and their Deputies.
5. Works with the Crown’s Champions of Arms and Rapier Champions to coordinate the tournaments to choose their successors.

The vast majority of the work revolves around Authorizations and maintaining the East Armored and Rapier Databases. There is a consistent amount of work to manage that amounts to somewhere between 20-30 hours/month (but can be more). The volumes prior to Birka and Pennsic are the highest and most time consuming.

The core skills involved to be successful in this role contain, but are not limited to:

• Comfortable knowledge in Google Suite
• Intermediate or higher knowledge in Google Sheets or Excel
• Flexible but consistent organizational skills
• Ability to track and research issues, discrepancies, etc.
• Capacity to coordinate between multiple offices, branches, officers, and/or contacts depending on the Kingdom’s need.

Additionally, The office comes with an annual reimbursement budget for reasonable expenses.

Applications are now open. Please send a Letter of Interest that includes:

• Introduction to who you are, in case anyone is unfamiliar. Links to your EK wiki/etc are always helpful.
• Experience and/or Qualifications for the Office. This can include past SCA positions or real life job experience.
• Your interest in the role, and if you have any thoughts or plans for the Office.

Please email your Letter to the following: Their Majesties (TRM @ ek), Their Highnesses (TRH @ ek) and CC: Kingdom Seneschal (Seneschal @ ek) and the KMOL office (MOL @ ek).
All office emails listed above are “Eastkingom dot org” emails that can be found through the directory in your member kingdom email.

Thank you very much.
