Changes

<li>Chairmen of Standing Committees and [[Study Groups]] are authorized to appoint any Augustan Society member in [[Good Standing]] to their committee. To check if a member is in good standing, please contact Headquarters. It is far preferable to check before extending the invitation! Such appointments do not take effect until you notify Headquarters of your appointment and we receive word of their acceptance. Email is acceptable for this.</li>

<li>The [[President]] and [[Headquarters Staff]] are ex officio members of all committees. They are not to be counted in the calculation mentioned in the previous item. They must be copied on all communications sent to your whole committee. This is done automatically if you use the Society email system.</li>

<li>Chairmen are authorized to name a Vice-Chairman, and you are expected to do so within your first year in office (save for positions necessarily located at Headquarters where such appointments would depend on finding a local volunteer). You are also expected to keep this Vice-Chairman fully informed so that he will be able to step in at need. This is important for ensuring the continuity of the Committee's work. One way to do so is to ask that others use your Society email address, which will copy your Vice-Chairman automatically. If not, it is your responsibility to send them a copy, just as it is that you copy (or more often BCC) them on all email sent in the performance of your work.</li>
