Before opening them up, why not write a two line summary of our expectation of what the role will be?  Otherwise people might not have as good an understanding of what we think the role will entail, whereas we've discussed this often enough that we probably understand it more than the text title explains!

Vacancies have been up for nearly 2 weeks with applications closing midnight on Sunday. So far we have heard from only 1 applicant who, unfortunately, is not leadership material.

I would like the Board to now consider targeting the members we know would make a good fist of helping us run SC for the community.

My list would be ...

JAS
Galatoni
Ninja
Michelanio

Have I missed anyone?

Throwing some other names out there for discussion:

Vargen (big EVE and WoW experience)
Spiritus (WoW experience and well-known)
Gortex (well-known)
Suicidal (well-known)
Chaos (unlikely due to prescription strength medication)
Grimnar (Dutch seems to have matured well over the past few years)
Whitey (Scottish and already mature)

QuoteOur vacancies are:

Head of Science
Reports directly to the Director of Operations - Science and Industry.
Maintains an Exploration Log of areas explored and any interesting objects discovered.
Maintains a Navigation Log of jump points navigated and any associated comments/warnings.

Maintains an Incident Log of inter-organisational issues (non PACT).

Head of Human Resources
Reports directly to the Director of Communications.
Maintains a log of where in the Verse our members and their ships are located.

Develop and maintain a robust recruitment policy with the aim of maximising the recruitment of new people whilst minimising the threat of infiltration.
Is the initial SPOC (single point of contact) for all membership issues.
Maintains an Incident Log of member-to-member issues.

Hmmm...not sure about all this 'logs' business.  Sounds a little too official and 'job like' to me - could that be putting people off?

BrotherTobious

All of the suggestions work for me.

Possibly obs it might be.

I take your point. I see them as online tools that will be built to be easy to use. For example, the 'whereabouts' log would be updated by our pilots themselves with reports built in to show where people/ships are located. The other logs to be constructed on similar lines. The Head's role would be one of administration e.g. pulling a report to present at leadership meetings.

On the assumption that Galatoni fits the Head of Science role, that leaves us with:

Head of Diplomacy
Head of Human Resources
Head of Public Relations

And these names:

JAS
Ninja
Michelanio
Vargen
Spiritus
Gortex
Suicidal
Chaos
Grimnar
Whitey (I thought I'd get a response to my 'scottish' dig! :roflmao:)

Michaelanio - one thing I just remembered is that unless he has changed his job, his is quite patchy from April-September, so that may remove him from the list.

We should have a chat on TS and finalise this.   Are we all about this evening at about 8pm?

Whatever's gone wrong it's not my fault.

Super, we can chat through names, agree who to 'push/chase/cajole' and whose app we wish to accept.

See you all at 8pm.

It did cause a snigger :D
I couldn't argue though :flirty:

As far as the role is concerned I'd rather not have a formal leadership role in SC at the moment.

TeaLeaf

Guys, really sorry.  I got caught up in some school stuff and did not get back until about 30 mins ago.   Apologies.   Did anything get agreed?
