Organizational structure

To
ensure that all process and decisions are executed orderly, there has
to be an organizational structure that is
transparent and effective.

Should the problem be between one member and another member then
the home corporation will take the lead in this case together with
the offended member’s home corporation. Should they be unable to
resolve this issue, the SGA leadership will take over.

Should the problem be between one member and multiple other SGA
members or be public, then an SGA officer or leader will oversee the
trial with the offending member’s home corporation having a special
stand (might be part of the prosecution or defense, depending on
their opinion of the problem).

This should ensure a fair trial for everyone but also call upon
the home corporation’s responsibility for its own members.

The SGA leadership
represents the
highest authority within the SGA. They
represent the SGA, not their home corporation.

This group may never get bigger than 6 people
to ensure that they are able to discuss
problems and ideas with all members of the group but
need to be at least 3 people.

During an active
disciplinary action (private or public)
against a leader, the other leaders can
decide to temporarily remove his rights (especially on discord) with
a 50% agreement
(excluding the leader in question) to prevent emotional reactions
from causing harm.

have to be approved by the “House of Corps” (see more about it in Organizational structure#House of Corps#Duties
House\_of\_Corps|Duties).

They may handle disciplinary actions and
oversee them to ensure the right of “Fair trial” for both members
and corporations.

### c) Rights

Apart from the typical rights that the highest authority implies,
the leadership does not have the right to dissolve the “House of
Corps” or change the organizational structure without a 75%
approval of the “House of Corps”.

They can dethrone a member of the “House of Corps” by a 75%
agreement as further explained in HoC|Membership.

They can dethrone a member of the SGA Officers by a 75% agreement
and appoint as many Officers as needed by a 75% agreement.

A leader can’t act or decide against the approval of 75% of the
leadership and must not conspire with members of the “House of
Corps” or officers against other leaders, representatives or other
organizational officials.

## 3.Houseof Corps

The “House of
Corps” (HoC) represents the corporations
in the alliance.

### a) Membership

The HoC consists of
one representative from each corporation in the alliance that
is a full legal entity (this excludes the restricted legal entities
like “bootcamp” that
are created for a special purpose and owned by SGA directly).
This can typically be the First Officer or one
by the First Officer
appointed representative of that
corporation.

The SGA Leadership
can dethrone a
member of the HoC by a 75% agreement. In this case the corporation of
the dethroned representative has to assign a new representative. The
HoC itself can also dethrone one of their members by a 75% agreement
with the same consequences. This ensure
that representatives are active, friendly and doing their job.

During an active, public
disciplinary action against a member of the
HoC, his home
corporation can decide to appoint a new temporary representative if
it was not the Fist Officer
of that corp. If the First Officer is the
representative, he is expected to temporarily give up his seat to one
of his Officers.

### b) Duties

The HoC represents the interests of the
corporations, ensures that the corporations support each other on a
corporation leadership level and oversee the implementation of new
decisions (laws, rules, ideas, …) in their own corporation.

Leadership will bring up new ideas, laws and
rules which all have to pass approval of 75% of HoC to be valid. This
applies to all decisions that have an impact on corporations but not
to decisions that only impact the SGA community.
Examples
of decisions that don’t involve the HoC:
membership, disciplinary actions, discord changes (e.g. tags,
role-names, channels, …) and similar.
Examples of decisions
involving HoC approval: corporations joining SGA, changes to the
constitution, changes to the Code-Of-Conduct, rule changes or
additions, removing of corporations from the SGA and similar.
If
Leadership and HoC can’t agree on whether a decision needs approval
or not, the Founding Fathers shall decide. This will hopefully not be
needed often.
A decision has to be
made within 2 weeks.

The HoC can request
law or rule changes from the SGA leadership with a 75% agreement.
Leadership then has to provide a concept building the basis for
discussions leading to a decision within 2 weeks.

If the deadline can’t be met repeatedly, the
HoC and/or leadership may get dissolved by the Founding Fathers as
explained in Founding\_Fathers|Peacekeeper.

### c) Rights

As mentioned in Leaderhip,
the HoC can appoint or dethrone any leader by a 75% agreement. This
may be needed if a leader gets passive but Leadership doesn’t want
to remove him yet or if HoC thinks someone is actually incapable. On
the other hand they may appoint a new leader with a 75% agreement if
the limit is not yet reached. If the HoC dethrones a leader, they can
appoint a new one before the leadership is allowed to fill the open
position.

These laws are to ensure an active, supporting, friendly and
cooperative organizational structure.

## 4.Founding Fathers

The Founding Fathers are the creators of the Alliance or played a
crucial part in its creation. As such they have some special rights.
Only the Founding Fathers who are not part of SGA leadership or HoC
have the following rights and duties.

### a) Membership

Their membership can’t be removed and their names will be
remembered even if they leave Hades Star and the SGA discord. Should
they return one day, they may get their rights and duties back with a
66% agreement of the currently active Founding Fathers.

### b) Duties

They will observe the “HoC” on discord, but not the
leadership. Their role is purely to observe, not to contribute,
disturb, question or comment decisions. However the may ask questions
to understand the intentions of the decisions to be made and give
advice if asked.

### c) Rights

##### **Veto**

They individually have the right to a “veto” which will make
all Founding Fathers part of the discussion and no decision can be
made until 66% of the still active Founding Fathers agree or disagree
(there have to be at least 3 Founding Fathers active). Given their
special role this should provide them with a means to make sure their
creation doesn’t develop in the wrong direction.
However a unified agreement of 75% of the HoC, 75% of the
Leadership and 75% of the SGA Officers can dismiss the “veto”.
This is to ensure that the Founding Fathers can’t act against the
unified will of the alliance as this could cause the destruction of
the alliance.

While a “veto” is active, no new SGA Officers or Leaders can
be appointed and no new Corporations accepted into the alliance to
prevent the shifting of power. Only minor decisions may be made
during an ongoing “veto”.

The Founding Fathers have to have a decision ready within 2 weeks,
otherwise their veto will be void. This is to prevent a veto from
making the alliance unable to act.

##### **Peacekeeper**

In the event of SGA leadership and HoC being in constant
disagreement, conflict or war-like state for weeks, the Founding
Fathers can summon all First Officers, which will have to appoint a
new HoC and new leadership. This may result in leadership being
replaced while HoC remains the same as the First Officers may
represent their own corporation. Should this not be enough then the
Founding Fathers may start a discussion in HoC about removing the
corporations causing trouble. In this case the active founding
fathers get a vote like any other HoC member. The corporation that is
to be removed from the SGA doesn’t get a vote. There has to be 66%
agreement to remove a corporation.

## 5.Officers

SGA Officers support the Leaders in their responsibilities.

### a) Membership

They can be appointed by Leadership with a 75% approval. There’s
no limit and no corporation restriction. They can also get dethroned
by leadership or HoC with a 75% agreement.

During an active
disciplinary action against an Officer, the leadership can decide to
temporarily remove his rights (especially on discord) with a 50%
agreement to prevent emotional reactions from causing harm and
further incidents.

### b) Duties

They might get special assignments, e.g. leading a disciplinary
action against someone, organizing contests and similar.

They are also moderators in the SGA channels upholding the
Code-Of-Conduct and initiating disciplinary actions if needed.

They can be approached with questions, doubts, problems, conflicts
and similar. They will handle these with the appropriate
confidentiality and bring it up to the SGA leadership if necessary.

Leadership might ask the Officers for advice in difficult
decisions but are not required to do so.

### c) Rights

The Officers can initiate disciplinary actions against someone.
