One: CSS Structure and Reorganisation
There was a detailed discussion concerning the roles and responsibilities of the CSS positions, with the proposal from Admiral Drew that the position of Commendations and Bios Officer being reinstated to CSS with Admiral Reynolds assuming the post and Commodore Gheskori assuming the role of Personnel Officer.

There was also discussion about the frequency of trivia and the nature of promotions in Section 47.
