	General tasks and duties of each position (independent of department specifics) Tired of ads?

What ever we call them though the basic outline seems clear and we can begin assigning positions. I think a person should be limited to only 1 Cheif Position but can be up to 2 Secondary Positions and on an unlimited number of comities. I will sumarize the responsibilites of each type of position.

Chiefs - The chief of a department is responsible for researching, planning and proposing a plan of action in their respective area of influence. They need to both stimulate and respond to critical discussion of that topic. They need to make polls on contraversial desisions and present arguments for and against any such desision. The Cief alone is not able to make unilateral desisions but in the event of a disagreement their vote counts double in desiding the ishue.

Secondaries - Work closly and in a supporting roll to the Chief, review the Chiefs plans and propose modifications or alternatives (nitpicks the plan). Takes over the duties of the Chief in the event of their absence. Note that the future breakups of the CMO (Manufacturing) and CSO (Security) would BE secondaries to that department and would not have their own secondaries.

Commitee members - regularly read the proposals of the Chief and Secondary and keep abrest of the situation in that department, being ready to respond with an informed vote or sugjestion on the proposals. Keep discussion active and provide encouragment to Chiefs and Secondaries, always be in a learning mode and prepare to move up if need be. Our most active members would likly join nearly all the Commitees.

A Department consistes of the Chief, the Secondary and the Commitee.

The Executive department consistes of the CEO and COO and they act much like Secondaries for ALL departments, they have a thumb in ever pie and help to produce a broad unified corporate strategy. Executieve officers are automaticaly members of all Commitees and would be active in all discussions. Agreement between the CEO, COO and a department Chief and that departments Secondary would constitute a Executive Agreement and would bypass a vote of the full board of Directors. Also due to their broad athority Executive officers are of particular importance in the consideration of Social Enginering changes and Energy Alocation, they should be on the lookout for an oportunity to improve our settings as Departments often lack the initiative to propose SE changes.
