Day to day tasks of the Insulae Draconis Seneschal

Check-list table for Insulae Draconis Seneschal.

This is my draft check list to help me keep on top of the requirements of the job.
I'm compiling more hyperlinked information which will include copies of previous mails sent for announcements and welcomes to officer etc.

My hope is that this will grow to where my successor will have a good head start from it, and will have a reference point for most routine aspects of the post. It should also help anyone interested in holding the post to decide if it is how they wish to spend their time. I'd estimate the average time spend on the job per week is about 10-15 hours. Hopefully as more and more things fall into place that figure will reduce.
