If this system is not available to you, you may e-mail me to let me know you want to talk to me and how you want to talk to me.  I have other personal messaging systems.   

 

 

3.  Officer Hierarchy

            I prefer a domain to run smooth. Knowing who to go to and when within the domain is paramount. 

Their will always be a Domain Coordinator, and a Domain Storyteller.  But a Good officer knows how to delegate.  

 

ADC Special Projects:

This ADC will be responsible with keeping up contact and compliance with the Library. This will be the default DC representative at events when I can not be there for the entire event. 
This person will also be responsible for ensuring that prestige from events are reported and included every month. This person will also do the report in months when the DC can not. 

 

ADC Charities and Events:

This ADC will Coordinate Regional/Local Charity events and Large Events. 
This ADC will report prestige worthy notes for all Charities in the Domain and will locate and get domain members involved in Charities.

 

ADC Mediation:

This ADC will be responsible for helping the domain members with small problems or for situations that can be talked about locally. 
This person will remain vigilant against conflicts and help to solve these conflicts. 


As for myself, if you ever have problems with me, I can’t stop you from taking it to my superior, but I would like you to go to this officer and talk to them about your grievance.
So that a peaceful solution can be worked out.

 

ADC Web: 

This ADC will be responsible for the look and over all completeness for the website. This person will work long and hard to make sure that the site is up to date daily or weekly.   

 

 

This list is all inclusive.  The domain website will give information as it happens with the current member to hold the position.    

 

 

4. Membership Audits

Its time for your Audit. As of 10-3-2008 the following system will be in place for LA-003-D. The system is up and running.

            It is important to know what is happening with your own prestige. That is why I want to be as hands on with you as possible with you and your prestige. I want to see you gain MC class.   

The goal of this system is for each audit to be traceable and watched over by more than one person.
To have no doubt among the auditing ADC’s and DC what is happening with your audit and to know that within 30 days your audit will be done and back to you with a decision.


 

The Process:

1) I will tell you when you are within 100 prestige of your next MC class. 

2) You and I will try to modify your prestige log if necessary to include links to regional/national prestige. Your log will be left in your hands.

3) You will be required to send your Log to: BF_F_Domain_Audits@yahoogroups.com, either modified or not modified, in for Prestige audit when either you are ready or you have enough prestige.

4) Your logs will be audited and your MC class will be usable at that time. 

            Notes follow: 

            Each member whose prestige log has approved prestige on it, that has them at or over the limit for MC class Advancement, will have to send their prestige logs via e-mail to BF_F_Domain_Audits@yahoogroups.com. This address will allow anyone to post to it. Your log will be received and approved in a timely manor. ADC Administration will let you know where in the process your prestige Audit is should you desire to inquire. If you decide to go to an outside domain after your audit has been approved, but has not been published on a report, please e-mail the DC so that you can be furnished with an e-mail or written proof of new MC class. 

5) Your Prestige logs should reflect the following information before sending.

· Your correct contact info
· Prestige as it has been reported by the DC. If you put prestige on your logs before the DC report comes out, your prestige may not always be correct, you must check at the end of each month and correct what is not right. We will be checking reports.
· If you have earned National, make sure you check with the National sites to be sure that prestige is still on that web site, put a link on your prestige log so that particular site can be located. If that site can’t be found and the prestige can’t be verified, your prestige can’t be counted as earned.
· If you have Regional, make sure you document which month and section that prestige comes from. All prestige that Regional gives out is in a RC report. We need to know which one before it can be verified. Again, if it can’t be found, it can’t be verified, and your prestige can’t be counted as earned.
· Check all each month and category to be sure that you are not over your monthly caps.

 

MC Chart

The following chart explains the requirements for each member class, including the amount of general, regional and national prestige required for each level, its title, and the coordinator within the chain who must review and approve the appropriate MC.

 

Member Class Minimum General Minimum Regional Minimum National Level of coordinator approval required
Associate (1) 0 0 0 None (must have valid membership number)
Journeyman (2) 100 0 0 Chapter Coordinator
Artisan (3) 300 0 0 Chapter Coordinator
Contributor (4) 600 0 0 Chapter Coordinator
Sponsor (5) 1000 0 0 Chapter Coordinator
Steward (6) 1500 0 0 Domain Coordinator
Benefactor (7) 2100 0 0 Domain Coordinator
Advocate (8) 2700 0 0 Domain Coordinator
Adviser (9) 3400 100 0 Regional Coordinator
Patron (10) 4100 300 0 Regional Coordinator
Mentor (11) 4800 600 0 Regional Coordinator
Luminary (12) 5400 900 100 National Coordinator
Executive (13) 6100 1200 300 National Coordinator
Fellow (14) 6900 1500 800 National Coordinator
Trustee (15) N/A N/A N/A Camarilla Council and White Wolf


A few examples:

To hold Patron (MC 10), a member must have at least 4100 total prestige points (counting all types), of which 300 must be regional or national prestige. If Frank has earned 3900 general, 100 regional and 200 national prestige points, he has a prestige total of 4200 and enough regional and national points to qualify for Patron, so he should apply for a review.

If John has 4200 general, no regional and 100 national prestige points, then he has enough total prestige points for Patron, but not enough regional and national prestige (only 100 out of a required 300). John is qualified for Adviser (MC 9) and may apply for a review for Patron (MC 10) after he has earned 200 more regional or national prestige points.

If Mary has 4700 general, 820 regional and 50 national prestige points, she qualifies for Mentor (MC 11). She needs another 50 national to qualify for Luminary (MC 12).

5.  Getting other prestige Reported

            Should you do something prestige worthy, for charity or any other thing, I can’t award prestige for it if I didn’t know what it is. 
Prestige from the officers come in by the 3rd each month.  In order to be sure your prestige is reported on time, please have your prestige into me no later than the 1st.   

 

 

 

Officers Section 

6.  What is a Domain Officer

          Domain officers create the backbone of our domain. Your job is to provide the services that keep us moving. 
Your job as an officer is to bend over backward to keep games going, to facilitate members having a good time. 
This does not mean that you have to have to let members walk over you, but you are to try to have thing during times when members can do things. 
Put yourself out, reschedule personal things, but the domain comes first if you ran for a VST position or if you want to be an assistant. 
You are here by choice and you can be replaced if you are not doing a good job for the domain. 
Beyond this you must communicate, phone, text message, instant message, smoke signal if need be, but communicate. 
We are all so connected that there is no excuse but to pick up the phone and call, or you cell phone and text. Communicate with me, your DST, the members who relay on you. 
If you agree to do something Do it.  Again, communicate on when you will do something and do it in the time frame.
