- Aveloc the Younger's modern name is Harvey Palmer
- According to the Board Minutes of Oct 2002, his R&D was issued at the January 2002 Board meeting. (At the time of writing the January 2002 Board Minutes were not available online.)
- Possibly the only R&D ever instigated and carried out soley at the Corporate level. The Crown and Kingdom of An Tir did not officially ever call for an R&D. While this may not have been started by the crown or been official, it was indeed approved of by many card carrying An Tirians. This was not done in secret and many wrote letters requesting that the BOD continue the investigation and act accordingly.
- Many people within An Tir still believe the R&D was driven by personal interests. No official list of reasons have ever been given by the Corporation regading this R&D. There was a nebulous list of 14 'Charges' initially given by the Corporation. But although many were factually proven to be either incorrect or fabricated, no final list of charges was ever given to Aveloc about which charges were found to be with merit. And many don't.
- After exhasting all avenues within the Corporation, a mundane lawsuit was eventually filed that attempted to force the Society to repeal the R&D. The case was dropped, and although the SCA paid Aveloc's legal fees as well as additional compensation, neither party admitted fault.
- There is still some hope by the people who care for Aveloc that the BoD will re-visit the R&D and consider re-instatment. This hope is not held by all but is in fact quite the opposite.
