COMMAND MEETING NOTES
17TH NOVEMBER 2012
First of all I thanked everyone for attending.
The first item on the agenda was the 3 day rule when
members give command 3 days notice before they
leave the fleet. This was discussed in length and
there were a lot of pros and cons on this subject.
Some people wanted to keep it because they saw it
as a valuable tool to talk to the members before they
left, while others wanted it removed because even
though we had the rule it mostly wasn’t enforced
when people left. After much deliberation it was
agreed that the rule would be removed, however it
was asked that we put something in place to replace
the rule as a courtesy to command to ask members
to give could give notice, but it was not enforceable.
The next item on the agenda was the recruitment
form and amending it to incorporate the new rules
and procedures. It was agreed that this would be
done and new drafts would be made so final drafts
could be decided on.
The fleet exclusivity rule was next up for discussion,
It was agreed that based on the views of the com-
mand members present and the poll in the captain’s
table forum that captains and above would be in-
cluded in the rule and that the new fleet exclusivity
rule drafted by Mercy would be used as the new rule,
the only change was the number of what defines a
small fleet, which was decided that this would be 10
members. It is important to know that this rule ONLY
affects members who are captain and above.
Abridged JAG reports were next on the list. This one
was really a no brainer and was quickly discussed
and voted on. Based on feedback from members, the
poll in the fleet talk forum and the opinions of the
command members it was unanimously agreed what
this procedure would be quashed. It was agreed that
releasing these reports would create too much drama
which is something we want to avoid at all costs.
Command transparency, and considering double
standers were the next two agenda points but since
the member who wanted to discuss these was not
present in the meeting, I forwarded my apologies and
hopefully this can be discussed at the next meeting.
The next item on the agenda was a look at the fleet
bank withdrawal permissions; this was missed off at
the last meeting so I really wanted to make sure it
was discussed here. Cassie wanted the issue dis-
cussed because in her opinion it just seemed odd
the way it was structured and it went against one of
our directives, which states all of our members are
equal. It was pointed out though that no one had
complained about the bank permissions but there
was sense in probably changing it so that it was more
fair to members. After some discussion, it was voted
on to stay the same, on the basis that the reason
why Command members have more permissions
was to help out members getting stuff out the fleet
bank and manage it better. It was also agreed upon
to put a reason into the info Hub as to why command
members have the permission they do. This way it
shows reasons why they have higher permissions so
members are aware.
The review of the time frame in which inactive’s are
actually kicked from the fleet. This was also dis-
cussed in length and people and this was a topic in
which Amarai wanted discussed since it used to be
31
