OLD BUSINESS
1. Report Back on Progress From Last Meeting (Drew)
Following the previous month's decision to implement changes to trivia procedure, it was reported that so far trivia was proceeding smoothly and no complaints or comments regarding the changes had been received. Also following the previous meeting's dissolution of the Acting Ensign system in favor of a direct assignment to Ensign, a report was given that the previous Acting Ensigns were happy at their promotion and the ranks system was running normally. The general consensus was that the changes were positive with only one additional update needed to complete the transition.
No Motion was held.
As this was merely an update report, no vote was required.
2. Further Discussion On Site Design
Due to extenuating circumstances of time, it was decided that it would be best to postpone this item until there was more time to fully discuss it. Therefore, this item was tabled until the next meeting.
No Motion was held.
Since the item was tabled until the next meeting, no motion was made.
3. Hall of Fame
An update on the Hall of Fame biographies revealed that the task required more time for research and to write meaningful tributes to the members honored. Admiral Drew volunteered to assist.
No Motion was held.
As this was also an update report, no vote was held.
NEW BUSINESS
1. Yearly Ratification of the Constitution
As written in the constitution, it was time for a yearly ratification. With no submitted changes, save the inclusion of a previously approved procedural change, the matter of ratification was put to a vote.
Motion to Ratify the Constitution
Ayes – 8
Nays – 0
Abstentions – 0
Motion Passed
2. Confirmation of Commander First Class Andae Blakus as CCS Chief.
Following a three month trial period as Acting Chief of CCS, the service of Commander Blakus to the CCS and the CSS was briefly discussed, and the matter was then brought to a vote.
Motion to Confirm Commander Blakus as CCS Chief
Ayes – 7
Nays – 0
Abstentions – 0
Motion Passed
PROMOTIONS, MEDALS, AWARDS AND COMMAND ASSIGNMENTS
1. Selection of a new Captain for the U.S.S. Nevada (Magellan)
With the positions of Captain and First Officer both recently vacated on the Nevada, the available command candidates were discussed at length. An eventual consensus that Lieutenant Colonel First Class Running Wolf was the best choice for the position was reached, and the matter was then brought to a vote.
Motion to Assign Commander Running Wolf as Acting Captain of the Nevada
Ayes – 6
Nays – 0
Abstentions – 2

2. Confirmation of Lieutenant Colonel Wong as Captain of the Victory (Drew)

Motion to Confirm Colonel Wong as the Captain of the Victory
Ayes – 7
Nays – 0
Abstentions – 0
Motion Passed
3. Selection of a new Captain for the Challenger NX-03 (Magellan)
With the resignation of Captain Kirk from the Challenger, a long debate ensued on what was the best thing to do with both the Challenger and Enterprise ERA simming in general. Many suggestions provided, one being to dock Challenger at Bellicose and merge the boards into one to hold Enterprise ERA simming on the Starbase under the command of Admiral Jack Clark. Once general consensus was reached that this was the best option, the matter was put to a vote.
Motion to Merge Bellicose/Challenger into Enterprise ERA Simming under Admiral Clark
