Preliminary Organizational Structure

This is just a general overview, and does not cover details such as who is/isn't a consortium member, dealing with 'deadbeat' members, etc.

Organizational notes:

(1) Steering committee comprised of three people who are voted in by all active consortium members. The chair of the steering commitee rotates every six months. After serving as chair, that member steps down and a new commitee member is elected. (This results in the first two chairs serving abbreviated terms, but allows for continuity within the commitee itself.)

(2) All other commitees are open to volunteers. The leader of each comittee is elected by vote from the active members of that comittee. Comittees are free to form subcomittees according to their needs.

(3)An "active" member is a person whom is, or has been, actively working on some aspect of alfa within the last six months.

(4) The steering commitee, with NAIC, is responsible for insuring the planned consortium meetings take place, and for organizing SOC and LOC for those meetings.
