- Any other CC wants to help or does not want to be on the committee let me know.
I think we'll just go through section by section. So we'll start with section 1 and 2. If you find something to change or not, post here. Remember if you see grammer errors as well nows a good time.

Copy & Paste the original statement from the Handbook page (so we all know what part you're talking about), then follow it with what you feel it should be changed to.

- Original Quoute:
From 'Membership, rights duties, and responsibilities'
"# 4. Chose the amount of your MFI participation at any organizational level. "
- Suggested Change:
perhaps some note about the Tier System with an explaination a little later?

- Original Quote:
From 'Rank and Advancement within MFI'
"If you are transferring from another Star Trek fan club, MFI will accept whatever rank you held in that organization, providing you provide MFI with the proper documentation. This documentation can be a letter from your previous chapter or organizational officer or a promotion certificate from your previous chapter or club. If you wish to transfer your rank then send the documentation with your application so it can be entered in our central membership database. If you are of flag rank, your rank must be reviewed and approved by the Coordinator Council. Applications under our Collateral Flag Rank Conversion policy will only be accepted after the member has been in MFI for a minimum of six months and has completed both the New Member Exam and the Leadership Development Exam."
- Suggested Change:
"If you are transferring from another Star Trek fan club, MFI will accept whatever rank you held in that organization, providing you provide MFI with the proper documentation. This documentation can be a letter from your previous chapter or organizational officer or a promotion certificate from your previous chapter or club. If you wish to transfer your rank then send the documentation with your application so it can be entered in our central membership database. If you are of flag rank, your rank must be reviewed and approved by the Coordinator Council. Approval is on a case by case basis."

- "providing you provide"?? That sounds rather odd. How about "Providing you submit"?... Except,we haven't been requiring that people submit verification. We've been letting them "Self Promote" to the rank of Captain, haven't we?
- Also... Since we no longer have the Colateral Rank Transfer, how about changing the part about Flag Rank to something like: "No new members will be granted Rank Transfer above the rank of Captain." and leave it at that?? We don't even have a "Case By Case Basis" on he matter any more. --Rob J 05:19, 15 February 2006 (PST)
- Well Membership tends to assign a rank to the CO, while keeping their preference in mind. I know I had a CO who wanted to be a Commander instead of the usual Captain. But yeah its usually membership who makes that first call and the Zone CO or COO(whomever it applies to) tends to go with it. Leastways I never heard of a problem. Just seems pretty standard, Cell co tends to be a Captain and can promote up to Commander I believe. I was a full Captain and in charge of an LP at first *shrug and grin* And sure a 'No higher than Captain' policy sounds good to me.
--General Mayhem 00:34, 16 February 2006 (PST)
- Original Quote:
"The Force Admiral is the final authority on all "Promotion Board" promotions. For those members who are in positions with promotion authority you cannot promote yourself. If promotions are warranted by virtue of positions that members are appointed, they are granted a “Brevet" rank until such time as they complete a “probationary" period and prove to the CC that they have or are making strides toward fulfilling the requirements for that position."
Suggested Change:
>> Snip<< This was just a typographical error. No need to discuss... Fixed.

- El Snazzy.
--General Mayhem 00:34, 16 February 2006 (PST)
The word 'Fun' in the membership materials section just needs to be corrected.
and 'personas' in the communications cyberspace section.
Thats all I got anyone else?--General Mayhem 00:19, 8 February 2006 (PST)
- I will double check if I can't find anything else I'll start on section 3 next week. I will also email the Branch heads again about getting out their updated sections.
--General Mayhem 00:33, 16 February 2006 (PST)
Chapter 2
After reading this section and the stated Appex.'s seems fine. I will have some suggestions for rewording the Appex's when we get that far.
--General Mayhem 22:06, 22 February 2006 (PST)
Chapter 3
In the intro it mentions min. number of personel but I can't seem to find where it lists them.
Example:Listening Post or Relay Station-1 Person Min., Runabout-2 Person Min., Ship/Station-3 etc.
might be useful to know or did I miss something?
