New Business
One: Selection of a new Trivia Officer
Two candidates had applied for the vacant position of Trivia Officer, Captain Gheskori and Commander William Walters. CSS considered both to be excellent candidates for a CSS role and there was a great deal of discussion about the possibilities of both candidates in CSS. It was also noted that Commander Walters serves as Assistant Bios Officer under a different character and that he was best placed to stand in as Bios Officer while Admiral Reckus is on maternity leave.
It was eventually agreed that Captain Gheksori be elected as Trivia Officer and Commander William Walters be elected as Bios Officer until Admiral Reckus is able to return from maternity leave. During this time, Commander Walters would enjoy the full status of a CSS member, including the right to vote at meetings.
The matter was taken to a vote, the result of which was as follows:
Ayes: 5
Nays: 0
Abstain: 2 (neither Admiral McCormick nor Commodore Torek was aware of this motion to be able to submit a proxy vote.)
Result: Motion carried.
Two: Review of Fleet Reports
CSS reviewed all of the fleet reports which had recently been submitted and highlighted the top three ships that appeared to be suffering from lack of crew. CSS discussed several ways to assist those ships and Admiral Drew will be contacting the Captains in question to discuss ideas.
Three: Review of Recruitment Activities
Admiral Lin informed CSS that he had found a suitable webring to advertise the Section 47 site on. Admiral Smith offered to help Admiral Lin in setting this up.
It was agreed to feature a โShip of the Momentโ in advertisement and around the site to encourage new members and support for that ship. The first ship selected to feature is the IRW SโHarien. This feature will be managed by Admiral Smith.
Four: Arrangements for Admiral Reckusโs maternity leave
As agreed under item one, Commander William Walters will cover Admiral Reckus as Bios Officer during her maternity leave and the Admiral informed CSS that Commander Walters will also be commanding the USS Grayson.
