MEMBERSHIP
General:
- Membership in the caste is open to all free healers over the age of 16
[Character age, 18 mun age]
- Applicants, by the nature of Gor, are assumed to be born into the green caste.
If they are wishing to change castes they should note this on their application
- Slaves owners may apply for slaves to be certified in healing arts by the
RGCP, although they may not be registered with any caste and their certification
will be tied to their current owner
- Acceptance for Membership will in no way be based upon the level of R/T
medical experience.
- A freed slave,
who was not in the RGCP prior to being collared, may not apply to the RGCP.
- An RGCP Physician who submits to a collar, loses all claim to caste status
and rank. However, if later freed with legal manumission papers, they may
reapply to the caste. No previous rank and status will be returned upon
acceptance as the applicant will have to work his or her way back to any
former positions/ranks held. A change in Registration Policy will go
into effect May 1st, 2005. There will no longer be dual caste
registration permitted, by the RGCP. This pertains both to free healers who
are registered in a different Caste, such as the Red... as well as free
healers who have dual registration in different healing caste groups. This
will not apply to slave healers, because as we all know, slaves do not have
caste.
Those healers who have registration in more than one Green Caste
organization, have until May 1st to let us, the Chairs, know which Green
Caste you wish to retain registration with. Those we do not hear from, we
will assume have chosen to remain in their alternate Caste, and will be
removed from the RGCP Roster.
This policy has been deemed necessary by a
majority of the chairs for several reasons.:
1) There is no other Caste organization which allows
registration in two Caste groups, even though there are several
Red and Black Caste groups.
2) Differing requirements for Registration in another Green
Caste Group have already caused confusion and issues with
conflict of interest for several Caste members/ Caste
applicants. |
Rule of Two Children:
Freewomen will not be restricted by the RGCP in their practice, but will follow
the laws of their city as to whether or not they may engage their caste work
fully before bearing two children.
They are expected to follow Gorean tradition as related in the books by John
Norman and wear the two gold bands until giving birth to two children.
Procedure for Healer Registration in the Caste:
- An applicant will submit an application [ Application]
- All applicants will serve a mentoring/probation period of four Gorean months
[four mun weeks from date of application]
- During mentoring/probation period, the applicant's mentor will submit a
minimum of four [4] healing logs of the applicant. [This should include one
major trauma, one dealing with medicinals/herbs, one dealing with
reproduction/childbirth, and one other]
- These logs will be sent out to RGCP physicians [by the 3rd Chair] to review
and approve or decline. The results will be sent back to the 3rd Chair who will
forward copies to the applicant and their mentor for training purposes
- All submitted logs become property of the RGCP and may be used [with names
removed] for training purposes
- The 3rd Chair and/or High Council may determine that more logs are needed to
be able to approve applicant. It is the responsbility of the applicant and
mentor to send in these logs as requested
- Any applicant who has not completed the mentoring process within three mun
months will be dropped from the applicant process. If they wish to apply for
Caste membership again they must begin the process again
- An applicant who has formerly been a RGCP healer but been dropped from the
roster for inactivity must complete all requirements from the beginning without
exception
- Once an applicant is approved and added to the RGCP roster they begin a three
mun month probationary period in which they are not eligible to vote in Caste
elections or voting issues. Once three mun months has passed, the healer is
eligible to vote in all Caste elections and issues
- No
applicant SN may be a restore/delete character. Any deleted SN will result in
the character being listed as "inactive" on the RGCP roster with the date the
incativity was discovered. If a SN must be deleted for any reason, then it is
the player's responsibility to notify the scribe to return them to active status
when they return. If a SN is not restored to active status in a six month
period, it shall be removed from the roster. If they wish to return at a later
date, the character will need to reapply to the Caste and meet all application
requirements.
- All RGCP healers are required to have "RGCP" in their life scrolls as
long as they are active on the RGCP rosters. No healer may have RGCP in their
scrolls unless they are listed on the RGCP roster as active
Procedure for Slave Healer Registration in the Caste:
- Slaves are Non voting/non-caste members of the RGCP
- Slaves are allowed to practice only at the descretion of their owners
- Slaves wishing to register as a slave healer shall be registered by their
owners only
- The slave's owner must complete and submit the application to the Slave Healer
Co-ordinator
- The Owner must also include a signed and dated statement giving the slave his
or her permission to train and to handle sharp instruments as well as an
explanation of what limits of practice will be required for the slave, ie.
permission to administer medication
- The Slave's Physician Trainer [who must be a registered RGCP of good standing]
shall submit three logs demonstrating the slave's healing skills to the Slave
Healer Co-ordinator Talamae Kuhlar
- Note: If An Owner has purchased a slave who is currently a registered RGCP
slave healer, it is only necessary to produce the legal signed and dated Bill of
Sale which has the slave's name and previous owner stated clearly, complete the
above application and resubmit it within three months as a transfer of Ownership
request. The slave will not be required to undergo training again, and his/her
slave healer registration will be transfered to the new owner's name
Rules of Conduct:
(1) No flaming or mun bashing of fellow physicians allowed. That is petty and
immature. Disputes should be settled in an adult manner between the parties, not
involving the caste as a whole. The green caste is fourth of the High Castes of
Gor. Show respect and honor in all things to your fellow caste members. Members
found to be causing dissension and/or trouble making will be promptly removed
from the caste. If the mun has more than one character in the RGCP, the severity
of the infraction may result in the removal of all characters of that mun.
(2) There is no reason for the RGCP to involve anyone outside of the caste in
caste business. Anyone found discussing matters of pertinence outside the RGCP
will promptly be removed from the caste.
(3) We are trying to make sure that physicians are fairly represented in Gor.
Please respond to mailings and be active in the caste. An active caste is a
strong caste!
(4) When mail is sent by a chair, it should be read and responded to if
appropriate. Deleting of caste mail is greatly frowned upon. It happens
accidentally, but repeatedly deleting will result in removal from the mail
string.
(5) Caste mail strings MAY NOT be used for personal use. Anyone doing so may be
removed from the list of registered physicians, depending on the severity of the
infraction.
