Definitions

1. the rule is see the Product Officer about past, present and future production. See the Org Officer about internal matters of personnel, supply, hats, etc. The deputy is the Org Officer who is always junior to the Product Officer. It's like having (in the Org Officer-the Deputy) an HCO right in your own division. The deputies are really under the Org Officer of the org. The division heads are under the Product Officer of the org. (OODs 10 Jan 71)

2. a prefix to a title meaning "in place of." There may be a deputy for each executive post in an org in addition to the person with the title, or it means "filling in until an appointment is actually made." (HCO PL 13 Mar 66)

3. a deputy is assigned where the appointment is already filled by another. A deputy is a second in command who acts in the absence of the actual appointed person. (HCO PL 18 Nov 65)

4. if the post is assigned locally by an organization it may only be assigned as a deputy. If it is appointed from Saint Hill then that becomes an acting which is the first rank. For awhile the post is held under an acting status and is then held in full status. The acting is simply removed. You'd know then, the' difference between a local and a Saint Hill appointment. Your local appointments are all deputy where they are executive appointments. If they are Saint Hill appointments, why then they are acting or nothing in front of it. You'd have such a thing as Deputy HCO Exec Sec. That doesn't mean any permanency of any kind whatsoever. A small breath of air can come in the window and take that title off the board because it's not anything but an assigned title. It's just somebody filling time until somebody can be put there or they can be confirmed. (SH Spec 61, 6505C18)
