Non-Voting Elder

Non-voting Elders will retain their rank and be given due respect for previous achievement as well as being given the opportunity to provide feedback on all guild issues. In regards to inactivity, reinstatement to full Elder status requires a majority vote of individuals holding the rank Elder and above. Returning non-voting Elders must be active for 6 months in order to be considered for reinstatement.

An Elder may voluntarily petition for non-voting status if conditions deemed significant by the GM create a situation where they are unable to perform their guild duties for four or more months.

Non-Voting Elders may petition the Ruling Council for reinstatement to Elder.
