Talk:Stefan's Proposal to Change the Hierarchy
What, no debate?
It's up, but no one's disputing my proposal! This is scandalous! When it originally leaked, people were jumping all over it, and now that I present it for public discussion, no one comes forward. Curiouser and curiouser...Stefanido 21:13, 9 May 2007 (EDT)
Anthony's Suggestions
Naming
In Stefan's Proposal, he has chosen to associate various positions within the OCESS with military ranks. While this gives the club an appearance of having a streamlined, efficient, no-frill kind of leadership, it is perhaps not the best things we want to associate with. First, we are a civilian, student based, no-profit organization, not a branch of of the Air Force. Military ranks pervides a kind of publicity that does not match our nature. Imagine the impression made on a potential/present Planetarium client upon being referred to the Lieutenant; or on a potential recruit upon being greeted by the Warrant Officer of Public Relations. The title is "Director" works fine by mine opinion and does not need to be replaced by "Warrant Officer". The title of "Sub-Commander" sounds very ambiguouse, maybe "Deputy Mission Cmdr" will work better. The "Lieutenant Cmdr" should be merged with the rank of "Directors" (should they still continue to exist after Jeff's contributions). The "Sargent" can be replaced by "taskmaster/taskmistress", so can "Lieutenants". The actual names is still up to be decided, but I do not see the benefits of military naming.--Anthony 18:46, 10 May 2007 (EDT)
Lieutenants
The number of Lieutenants should be flexible to the condition and task at hand. New Lieutenants should be able to be appointed by their respective commanders and Lieutenants Cmdr. This provides flexibility for the Cmdrs to use their judgment on the current situation. It will also provide up-ward mobility. It provents a implied guarantee to the Lieutenants of future Cmdr or Lieutenants Cmdr. positions and remind them that they have to work; it also enables committed and talented members to move up the command ladder with out redtape.--Anthony 18:46, 10 May 2007 (EDT)
