IC/OOC: BIL Public Testimony Regarding Striking the War Season from BIL Records
The British and Irish Quidditch League represents the best in modern quidditch and are responsible for the history, tradition, and continuity of the game invented in these islands which has spread around the world. It has been proposed that, due to interference of the corrupted Thicknesse Ministry, the records of the so-called "war season" be dropped from BIL records and the season not be considered a BIL season at all.

While this may seem to many to be a technicality or a band-aid to cover deeper wounds, it is not a proposal we take lightly. In order to determine what the best path forward is for the league, the teams, the players, and the fans of British Quidditch, the league is soliciting public opinion. This and any follow on meetings will involve both public access and invited guests who will speak for the record.

All meetings and hearings of this subcommittee will be public and open to the press. A formal report will be issued before the January 30th BIL Quarterly meeting.

I ask that all speakers prefix their remarks with their name, their profession, if the statement they are making is in support or opposition to the motion, and if they are willing to take questions from the commissioners.

Speaker: Name Profession: Speaking In Support or Opposition: Will You Take Questions?:

Thank you for volunteering your time and your opinions, the BIL looks forward to learning more from each of you!

R. Fraser Macmillan
Commissioner, District 4
Chair, Ad-Hoc Subcommittee on Wartime Quidditch Records

	Jason would request formal testimony from the commissioners who made the proposal and a chance to be questioned directly. He would also propose that a sub-committee be created to discuss how to handle the war season in all fairness and urge for collaborative work with muggleborn integration and war time recovery groups (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	Although Des retains his dour expression, he is very pleased by this request and proposal. Mr. King certainly knows the questions to ask. And he very much wants to see Kavanaugh and Lethbridge cross-examined. He's also highly amused at the thought of this taking even longer and inconveniencing even more people who are not him.

Fraser raises his eyebrow at the request. "I can pass along your request, but as this is not a court of law, I do not have subpoena powers. If the commissioners wish to answer any questions or present a case is up to them. Generally, subcommittee hearings are designed to provide supporting materials and testimony to commissioners, rather than from commissioners."

"The League is, despite the importance of Quidditch, a small and lean entity. This is the ad-hoc subcommittee on this matter and we hope to be able to report out and give our recommendations to the commissioners. If you would like to take your time and present your ideas in writing, I would hope to receive it before the end of the year to include it in the final report."
