JOB-HERALD

Heralds are responsible for setting up meetings and ensuring that the relevant parties are aware of the meetings. Heralds will also reschedule meetings to work around people's schedules. In addition, a scribe must be at all important meetings so that meeting minutes can be recorded. (Of course, a single person can be both a scribe and a herald.)

TODO: Heralds are responsible for finding a scribe. Think anyone should be able to call meetings ... heralds responsible for determining what is a valid reason to call a meeting.

              of the meeting and mail parties if needed.  At the meeting they

adept         Full Herald.  Once a herald has completed the first set of
              public notifications, approved set of minutes, and carried out
              their first set of duties, they may be promoted to this level 
              by permission of a high.  A Full Herald is responsible to make 
              sure everyone knows a meeting is gonna take place.  Can post

              of a meeting can attain this level upon vote of current sky

              informing/making minutes.  A Level 5 must also approve these, 
              however.  The Level 5 is ultimately responsible.

              at least 3 meetings, then can apply for Level 6.  A Level
