Definitions

this is a decision-making post on matters referred and orders origination post on matters not against policy (as attested by the Commodore's Personal Communicator). In matters where there are conflict or question, referral from below can be made to the First Deputy Commodore on channels, accompanied by proper CSW or, in extreme urgency, by the contenders. Where inspection or other indicators seem to warrant, or where smoother operation is desirable or where a program apparently beneficial or needful needs to be instigated, the First Deputy Commodore may so originate, on channels, via the Personal Communicator who attests that it is not against policy or, should it be, to return it. Any origin so issued is logged by the Personal Communicator as though it were from the Commodore and followed up accordingly on routine lines. In the presence of the Commodore, the post of First Deputy Commodore is quiescent as it is normally an additional hat assigned to one with other senior duties. (FO 3342)
