Not being members of the fencing community, this is difficult for us to
answer.  This is one of those situations where it is best for us to
'lead from behind'.  It's our job to stay out of the fencing community's
way as it goes through any growing pains and evolutions that it may
have.  Then, once they have made their decisions, we should accept and
enforce them.

As the fencing community grows, it will have more resources to expend.
We hope to see Carolingian fencers who will travel to teach and compete,
host armour-making workshops, make new stanchions and list ropes, and do
all of the non-fencing things that we know the fencers to be capable of.
