STATUS: The clerk has matched the claim to its source register and named the missing record. The current rule remains in force at the Lower Ward meeting hall.
RECORD: The workshop roster and the rules for ward representation. This file counts 29 apprentices listed by trade; the prior count was 31.
DISPUTE: Guild stewards argue that apprentices lack independent contracts; the apprentices say they already carry independent duties and risk.
WHY IT MATTERS: The decision concerns whether apprentices may elect a voting delegate while still bound to a master’s shop. The current count does not settle how the rule should allocate the cost.
NEXT: The table has asked the guilds to produce their current contract forms. The clerk has marked the file APPRENTICE-VOTE-18 for the next public review.
