1. Should Head Historian become an elected position?
Yes.
2. If yes, should the Head Historian serve a 3-month term?
No.
3. If no (to question 2), how long a term should the Head Historian serve? 6 months? Longer?
6 months or 1 year, although the latter is probably too long in internet terms, so 6 months.
4. What, if any, should be the minimum requirements for applicants for the role of Head Historian?
Same as for other Curial officers, sufficiently clear record should be enough.
5. What, exactly, should the role of Head Historian pertain to?
Collect information/check threads for elgibility to be copied/stored in the LHF, with assistance perhaps compile "historical records" of current site development.
6. Would the Head Historian be able to, and expected to, create their own agenda and objectives?
Sure, why not. If they are elected they can announce their agenda/objectives beforehand, people can vote on that and gross misbehaviour/disregard for promises can lead to a VonC anyway.
7. What would be expected of the Head Historian in one complete term?
Nothing specific. Would be up to them.
8. Would the Head Historian be expected to prepare a report at the completion of their term?
Probably, see "historical records" at #6.
9. If yes, what type of information should be included in that report?
Rough technical data (not too much) like membership development, observations on forum activity, administrative developments as they become apparent and extraordinary events, of course.
10. Should the Head Historian be allowed to appoint assistants, or a team/committee?
Yes, at their discretion with supervision from the Curator (i.e. the Curator can reject an appointee if they deem them unfit, e.g. due to previous gross misbehaviour)
11. Should the Head Historian be allowed to appoint non-Citizens as assistants, or as team/committee members?
Yes. Supervision by the Curator should be enough.
12. If the Head Historian can appoint assistants, or a team/committee, how many could they appoint?
As many as they wish, but inactive assistants should be removed without delay.
14. Should the Head Historian receive a badge, like those for Curators, Censors and Magistrates?
Yes. And yes, I'm looking at you, Lifth
16. Instead of one Head Historian, should there be multiple "Head Historians" at any one time?
No, one to determine the objectives. Assistants are sufficient to deal with workload.
