Item One: Selection of new Fleet Commanding Officer.
With Admiral mc7 retiring from the position CSS discussed options for a replacement, the position could not be filled by a member of CSS and therefor candidates who fit both rank and time served requirements were discussed.

Nays: 0
Abstentions: 0

Commodore Reynolds informed CSS of all the people who had expressed interest in the position, each one was discussed at depth before CSS agreed that given the length of time as an Executive Officer and good simming record that Commander Will Jamison was the best candidate.
A Vote was held – Motion to give Command of USS Rainier to Commander Will Jamison for a three month probation period.
Ayes: 6
Nays: 0
Abstentions: 0
Item Three: Ugrading the main site (currently SMS) into NOVA
Commander Gaz presented the reasons an upgrade would be needed, most pressing of these was that SMS was no longer supported by its developers and if any major problems occurred with it we could lose the main site and all the information it contains. Admiral Lin enquired if it was possible to merge the Personnel SMS with the Main site along with the upgrade which would allow us to store all of our important information as well as Biographies in the place. Commander Gaz confirmed this was easily possible.
A vote was held – Motion to upgrade the main site to NOVA and merge it with the Personnel site.
