Reorganization of Staff Members
Reorganization of Staff Members
The absence of both Scott and Benkern has prompted those of us who remain active within the Apollo Foundation to bring in new staff (as with the appointment of Harvey) and to reorganize the hierarchy of staff members.
Up until now, the staff has been organized as such:
Official Staff List of the Apollo Foundation
Vilhelm von Benkern - CEO and Senior Archivist
Scott Alexander - Archivist and Senior Editor
Dr. Spangle - Archivist specialising in Historical Micronational Technologies
Honourary Staff Members
Ryan Caruso, Former CEO and Senior Archivist - Honourary Archivist
Bill Dusch, Former Archivist and Cultural Advisor - Honourary Cultural Advisor
Shane Odlum, Unconfirmed Founder - Honourary Member
To bring the Foundation more up-to-speed it has become necessary to change the organization of our staff membership. Both Scott and Vilhelm will retain staff membership as Honorary Archivists. Spangle shall retain his current position. Furthermore, the position of CEO shall be eliminated in lieu of a Co-Chair that will be shared by myself and Harvey. Both Chairs shall have equal administrative rights over the Foundation as Senior Archivists and Editors. This will provide better coverage of the organization should one of the chairs be absent for any duration of time, and allow for a greater dynamic of team-based developments to be emphasized in the Foundation's future.
The new organization of staff shall encompass an outline akin to this:
Official Staff List of the Apollo Foundation
Ryan Caruso - Co-Chair, Senior Archivist and Editor
Harvey Steffke - Co-Chair, Senior Archivist and Editor
Dr. Spangle - Archivist specialising in Historical Micronational Technologies
Honourary Staff Members
Vilhelm von Benkern - Former CEO and Senior Archivist - Honourary Archivist
Scott Alexander - Former Archivist and Senior Editor - Honourary Archivist
Bill Dusch, Former Archivist and Cultural Advisor - Honourary Cultural Advisor
Shane Odlum, Unconfirmed Founder - Honourary Member

Re: Reorganization of Staff Members
Seems a tad odd that the honourary staff member can totally reorganise it, but hey
As previously the most powerful active staff member, I'll support the changes

Re: Reorganization of Staff Members
Presumably, if you wanted to, you could put up a fight to the changes and we'd work something out. But since you support, it's all good.

Re: Reorganization of Staff Members
Well, vilhelm says he's ok with the Apollo Foundation changes:

Tell Ryan that really I was only stewarding the AF and making sure it didnt completely disappear, that it kept being a presence on the MCS forums and I agree with this reforms wholeheartedly.
Re: Reorganization of Staff Members
Well I'm certainly glad he agrees to the changes. I was under the impression he's been entirely out of communication with anyone.
I really consider the whole "honorary" thing to be a temporary designation anyways; if either Vilhelm or Scott come back and want to be an active part of the Foundation again, then that would be great. The more help the better IMO.
