As of 2015, The senior Sub-Groups of The Augustan Society, Inc., are each ruled by a Council composed of six members. These officers do not have clearly defined duties, and the resultant confusion made the operation of each, and the administration of both, more difficult than it ought to be. As a result, in 2015 the Administrator of the two groups convened a Sub-Group Governance Committee to address the matter and to recommend what offices and titles properly deserve to be used, and to align the titles and duties of the two groups to the extent that's reasonable. This effort failed for lack of willing participation by representatives of the two Sub-Groups, and the committee was terminated in 2016.
Membership in this committee consisted of the Administrator and a representative of each group.
Progress was slow, but agreement was reached on several points:
- Titles to be used should be addressed at the end of the process, with functions being addressed first.
- That each group deserves to be governed by a Council, and not by a single officer.
- That each group needs a chief, a vice-chairman who can step in at need, a secretary, and a treasurer.
- That each group has unique functions that justify unique officers to address same.
Due to a lack of response from the representatives of both groups, this Committee was terminated in 2016. It could be reactivated promptly should the two sub-groups name representatives under the auspices of the Eagle and Rose Assistant Chancellors, presuming the two offices are held by the same person as at present, or by a person appointed by the President.
The interim plan is to ask the chiefs of each order to propose job descriptions for each office as a condition of naming such officers, which the Assistant Webmaster for Wiki will upload when received, pending amendment of the Rule of the Order and Rule of the Company. The Eagle or Rose Assistant Chancellor will prepare appropriate motions to amend the Rules for Council review.
