OLD BUSINESS
1. Update on the Hall of Fame (McCormick)
With Admiral Drew's unexpected LOA, writing the Hall of Fame biographies and the subsequent research required to do so is still pending. There was some discussion regarding clarification of the task and specifying exactly what needs to be done, before moving on to the next item.
No Motion was held.
As this was merely an update, no vote was required.
2. Update on the Redesign of the Main Website (Lin)
With the reported difficulties in getting this project underway presented, a number of suggestions were proposed in order to make a redesign possible. After some discussion, it was suggested that as a start, each department head would go over the pages for their realm of responsibility to weed out any redundancies and streamline the number of pages. All department heads would have until the next meeting to assess their pages on the main site, and would then put forth their recommendations for improvements and cutbacks in their pages. With the motion agreed upon, the matter was brought to a vote.
Motion for Departmental Review of the Main Website
Ayes – 4
Nays – 0
Abstentions – 0
Motion Passed
NEW BUSINESS
3. Discussion of Inspector General Position (Reynolds)
With the resignation of Commander Biers as the current Inspector General, the matter of who would serve as the next Inspector General was discussed. Several candidates who had expressed interest in the position were suggested, but it was eventually decided to appoint current Chief Inspector, Commander Desert Pride, as the Acting Inspector General and the position announced as open to allow other candidates to apply and a final decision to be made by Captain Reynolds at a later date.
No Motion was held.
As this was an inter-departmental matter within Commendations, no motion was required.
4. Discussion on the Use of NPC Bios in SMS (Reckus)
With the SMS bios system running smoothly, it was suggested by Admiral Reckus that regular, guest NPCs have their biographies added to the SMS system. There were concerns about space in the system and how exactly they would be sorted, but Admiral Reckus's suggestion was to add only mobile NPCs used as guest characters on multiple bases and ships without any permanent assignment under a separate heading in the SMS system. The matter was then brought to a vote.
