FOREIGNERS GUILD PLANNING
With the shift of governmental organization in Keeliai, and the designation of the Guilds, the Foreigners have been tasked with setting up an internal structure for their guild.
They have been informed that they have complete freedom to organize this Guild as they see fit, whether that means they have a group leadership (several people in charge), a hierarchy based leadership (one or two people in charge, then their subordinates, then the next level of subordinates, etc) or to entirely do away with a formal leadership setup at all and have all guild members carry the same authority level. Or any combination or alternative of those options!
The Council's decree has assured the Foreigners complete autonomy in governing themselves within the framework of their Guild, with these core stipulations:
1. All newly incoming Foreigners will automatically be allocated into the Foreigners Guild until (or if) they choose to make an informed decision to change to a different guild. The Foreigners Guild is therefore responsible for providing their guild's services and provisions at an equal availability whether they're an established member or a new arrival.
2. The Foreigners Guild must participate in any city-wide referendums when called to take place at the Courtyard of Public Opinion. It is the discretion of the guild as to who and how many representatives they choose to send to these meetings, but it is to be understood that any representative(s) chosen to speak on behalf of the guild, that their input will be taken as the guild's official stance and will be held to those decisions or actions.
3. The Foreigners Guild will respect the authority of other guilds where it relates to the treatment of Foreigners who are those guilds' members. This could be either through benefits or disciplines. This also applies when laws are broken which fall under the purview of other guilds' areas of jurisdiction, including their own.
The first Courtyard meeting will take place in May, in order to establish the list of High Crimes (things like murder, etc) which require sentencing by agreement of all the Guilds; the other guilds will expect the Foreigners Guild's leadership and representative structure to be in place by that time, which can then be made official.

Player Discussion
This post is for the OOC plotting of the Foreigners Guild getting set up. This is an entirely player-controlled process -- the mods are NOT involved in the end result of how this plays out. So it's important that everyone has a chance to participate in the process, as the decisions of the Guild's setup will be used to develop plots and events in the future!
Here are some some things for your consideration, although this is not an exhaustive list, simply suggestions:
- Is there going to be a defined leadership within the Foreigners Guild, and if so, who are they?
- What are their levels of authority, within the Guild's structure and in relation to the rest of the city and other guilds?
- Are these the same individuals for the spokespeople for Courtyard participation?
- How will the Guild handle treatment of Foreigners that are part of their guild?
- How will the Guild handle the treatment of those who perpetrate crimes against Foreigners?
And other input that may arise through this discussion post!
NOTE: This post is for the OOC/players side of this process! You don't need to justify your character's thoughts for your suggestions, as an IC log will be made once this discussion has been established, where characters themselves can also go through their version. (As we well know, player and character opinions don't always line up!)

- TL;DR - New arrivals are the FG's responsibility by default, and the FG can't force them out by treating them more crappily just because they're new.
2. The Foreigners Guild must participate in any city-wide referendums when called to take place at the Courtyard of Public Opinion. It is the discretion of the guild as to who and how many representatives they choose to send to these meetings, but it is to be understood that any representative(s) chosen to speak on behalf of the guild, that their input will be taken as the guild's official stance and will be held to those decisions or actions.
- TL;DR - The FG needs to designate some spokespeople, and is expected to stand by whatever those spokespeople say in Courtyard meetings.
3. The Foreigners Guild will respect the authority of other guilds where it relates to the treatment of Foreigners who are those guilds' members. This could be either through benefits or disciplines. This also applies when laws are broken which fall under the purview of other guilds' areas of jurisdiction, including their own.
- TL;DR - The FG doesn't get a say in the (good or bad) repercussions of things that happen to Foreigners who have chosen to join other Guilds, or when Foreigners break laws. However, the FG has jurisdiction over crimes perpetrated against Foreigners.
The first Courtyard meeting will take place in May, in order to establish the list of High Crimes (things like murder, etc) which require sentencing by agreement of all the Guilds; the other guilds will expect the Foreigners Guild's leadership and representative structure to be in place by that time, which can then be made official.
