Nora came to us with a proposal to allow Proconsuls to award Sapphire Blades by the database/site. It made sense, it's been approved and implemented.
With the expansion of awarding authority of Sapphire Blades to Proconsuls, here's a reminder that it is your job as leaders to write your own recommendations, and more importantly your job to know the person you're writing about if you're in their chain and have the ability to award them a medal.
If you are putting in a medal as a leader, write the recommendation yourself. If you don't have the authority to award it? Go up the chain and get the Consul to write it. So for example, if you're a Proconsul and putting in a Sapphire Blade? Write it yourself. Don't put in medal recommendations as the primary on behalf of anyone else.

The Master at Arms (and the office) are in charge of medals and promotions in this club. You come to us. Always.

Two MAA reports in one year?
I recall a decade or so ago, the PCON could recc to about the same level as AEDs. I'm assuming this was one of the last of those and CON-PCON and QUA-AED can now roughly recc up to the same level?
The Panda comes out of hibernation with not one, but two reports, and gives us lowly Pecans the ability to award Blue Stabbies™? What a year to be alive!
2 panda-ports?! Is the world ending?
We have been asking this for two years, Howie, two years. Does a proposal make it happen?
Regardless, good.
Somethings shifting, Somethings changing - for good.
Know the things you write about the people you reward. Makes sense. Great update MAA Panda.
2 panda sightings? what next? he puts on pants????
The Panda speaks? Le gasp!
Good change though.
I awoke the Panda... does that mean death?
Yes, Nora. Run while you can (you have plenty of time, he's very lazy).
By the time Howie catches up, she'll outrank him.
Sleeeeeepy.
(Provides the panda with beer, bamboo and poutine)
That should hold him for a bit.
