Staff Structure

Staff list

Primary contacts

Each branch nominates one primary contact, who gets administrative rights and is responsible for management of their branches hub and representatives. They also get to have a voice in major decisions and can veto in minor decisions.

Non-representative staff members

These are staff members that do not represent a certain branch but are members of staff for another reason, primarily because they are members of a team.

Staff policy

1. Each branches staff can nominate as much as they want, as long as it doesn't get out of hand. By getting out of hand I mean that we shouldn't talk in numbers here, but to take care, that no branch has a lot more representatives than the others.
2. I agree that each branch should have a primary contact, who gets admin rights here. How each branch decides who is to be their primary contact is up to them.
   1. Each branch should decide internally who can substitute the primary, if he or she should be temporarily unavailable.
   2. Each branch can vote their primary contact out. They can do this public or - e.g. if they distrust their primary - in secret, by all sending PM to another primary of their trust, who then will demote said primary from all admins rights, until further notice. This will then be matter of a major discussion.
3. The primary contact of a branch decides which representatives of his or her branch become moderator and take care of promotions or demotions themselves. (At this point, I have promoted every staff member to moderator in the Archive).
   1. Representatives can also be staff without moderators rights.
4. In general, every staff member can take part in any discussion or start a discussion of any kind as they feel necessary.
5. As for major decisions, I think that before we vote we should try to reach a consensus by discussion.
   1. Major decisions are such that impact the overall course of this project, like general changes in policy or structure.
   2. For the sake of comprehensibility, such discussions can be made primary-only.
   3. Primary contacts can veto if they do not consent with the solution.
   4. If we fail to find a consensus we vote.
      1. Each branch decides internally how they will vote.
      2. The primary contact will vote for the branch.
      3. There is no veto in voting. Each voice counts x1.
      4. There will be a time limit.
      5. If the primary contact is unavailable, a temporary primary contact votes.
   5. If we still fail to find a solution we start over with discussing.
6. In Minor decisions, every staff member can take part.
   1. Minor decisions are disciplinary, design, minor structure changes etc.
   2. Same here: Before we vote, we try to find a consensus.
   3. If we fail, anyone can vote, each voice counting x1.
   4. Primary contacts can veto against the solution.
   5. Primary contacts can also veto to make the discussion major.
7. Unofficial branches as well get a primary contact, but neither admin- nor moderator rights.
   1. They may take part in or start any discussion.
   2. They may vote in minor decisions.
