Club Charter
1. Should any member or officer offend the club or another member to a degree which internal club strife is caused, the member will have two chances. First chance will be a verbal warning. Second chance will be a one week ban. If actions continue past the ban, the member, regardless of position, will face expulsion from the club.
2. Should the Oya-bun receive the one week ban, the Wakagashira will take the Oya-bun's place during the Oya-bun's absence.
3. If the Oya-bun is expelled from the JCC, the Wakagashira will assume the Oya-bun's role, with the Shateigashira taking the Wakagashira's place and a new Shateigashira being elected.
4. New members will be permitted to join at any time, but will need to have an introduction meeting with the Officers.
5. The first meeting of each semester will include a 'bonding ceremony'. This will be where everyone is introduced to one-another, rules are gone over, and a (non-alcoholic) drinking ceremony will be held. At the end of the semester another 'bonding ceremony' will be held, this time so as to raise the spirits of the members and wish them luck during the summer/winter break.
6. E-mail and phone contact information will need to be provided from every member and officer so that the officers will be able to get a hold of someone if needed. This information will remain confidential to the officers and will only be used when absolutely needed or for the weekly/bi-weekly e-mail.
7. Should the Oya-bun fall ill or otherwise be unable to perform a function of the JCC, the Wakagashira, with the supervision of the Kami (if the Kami is not already on site for the function), will fill in for the Oya-bun during the function.
8. Officers will have a private meeting once a month before the first screening or club meeting to discuss upcoming events and any concerns needed Additional meetings will be held as needed. At the first meeting of the semester a 'officer drinking ceremony' will be held with non-alcoholic beverages used.
9. The Kami will need to be present at all major functions that require the use of school property (primarily screenings) unless the Kami feels that the Oya-bun can be trusted to run things without the presence of the Kami. This is mandated by the current rules of MCA.
10. More rules to be determined at a later time or as needed.
