-Describe [VirianSaints ] here
+!Proposed [Illumination ] Policy   
+   
+Two criteria for Virian sainthood:   
+* high reputation on Meridion   
+* deceased human   
+   
+!Rationale   
+   
+Mostly for consistency, it will prevent the situation where we have a deceased person rated higher in Meridion than a Virian saint. Moving to a Meridion-based process also has a few advantages:   
+* voting on people is already built into the system   
+* nominating someone is as easy as adding them to Meridion   
+* rating is an ongoing process that will reflect the current membership's opinion   
+   
+!Minimum reputation   
+   
+Ideally it should be a fixed high number like 8. But until we can rate our current saints above that threshold I propose that we use a floating threshold defined by the lowest reputation of the currently illuminated, namely Darwin and Hypatia.   
+   
+!OTOH   
+   
+;:<MoEnzyme> Ideally it should take a while. Long enough to have a significant discussion. I'd dislike a situation where an interested participant takes a break for a few weeks and returns to a process that left him/her behind.   
+;: <MoEnzyme> Time would allow more people to get involved in the decision, which in many was is as important a consideration as not taking forever.   
+;: <MoEnzyme> It would also give some opportunity to build content. It would be nice to have web material at the time of completion
