Pegasus Fleet By-Laws


Revision as of 12:06, 29 August 2011 by Williams (talk | contribs)

This page has been adopted by the PFA as an official policy.

Under the Pegasus Fleet Constitution, certain by-laws may be created to assist in the administration of the fleet. They are numbered in the order that they were passed.

By-Law #1 - Succession

  1. Upon the resignation or removal of the Pegasus Fleet Commanding Officer (PFCO) from their position, the Pegasus Fleet Executive Officer (PFXO) shall be promoted to PFCO, subject to a simple majority vote (>50%) of the Pegasus Fleet Admiralty. The vote shall be administered by the Judge Advocate General (JAG).
  2. If the PFXO declines the promotion, or the PFA votes against such promotion in the vote described in Section 1 above, then the following procedure shall be utilized to select the successor to the former PFCO:
a) The PFXO, or if there is no PFXO, the most senior member of the PFA by rank as outlined in subsection (e) below, shall assume the day-to-day duties of the PFCO until such time as a new PFCO is selected in accordance with the subsections below.
b) Within one week of the assumption of PFCO duties, each member of the PFA that wishes to be considered for the PFCO position must make their candidacy known to the PFA. They may include, at their option, a brief explanation of why they believe they would be the best candidate for PFCO.
c) Upon conclusion of the one week period of subsection (b) above, the entire PFA must vote on the nominated candidates. If there are more than two (2) candidates, the vote shall eliminate the candidate with the fewest votes, and a new vote will then be held with the remaining candidates. This shall continue until only two (2) candidates remain. When only two (2) candidates remain, a simple majority vote (>50%) shall determine which candidate becomes the new PFCO.
d) The votes described in subsection (c) shall be administered by the JAG, unless the JAG is a candidate for the PFCO position, in which case the most senior member of the PFA by rank, as outlined in subsection (e) below, that is not a candidate for the PFCO position shall administer the voting.
e) In the event that there is no PFXO, the highest ranking member of the PFA shall assume the duties mentioned in subsection (a) above. If two or more members of the PFA share the highest rank, selection between them shall be determined based on greater time served in the PFA. If the time served in PFA is equal, then selection between them shall be determined based on greater time served in Pegasus Fleet.
