== The Council and Command Lists ==

All command officers of Star Trek : Freedom are on the Command mailing list, it is an excellent way for high command of the game to keep in touch. The council itself will use the command mailing list to pass down decisions, or proposals for discussion.

The Council itself has its own mailing list for council members to debate on, behind closed doors for privacy purposes. These mails will not be available for viewing without express council permission.

The command officers of Star Trek : Freedom will have every opportunity to pose questions and suggestions to the Council via the command list, and non-command officers will have access to the personal email addresses of Council members for reasons that supersede the chain of command. Otherwise, all suggestions should be routed through the chain of command, to the board.

It is not the intention of the Council to be hard to reach, or intimidating. The Council has been formed to meet and solve common problems that come with running a large-scale game with people of many cultures and creeds. Besides the obvious need for closed door decision making on delicate matters, everything else about the council and its proceedings will be open for discussion and questioning at will. Only sensitive or personal issues will be kept under wraps, until a decision is formed.

The Council will always provide motivation and reasons for its decisions, and any specific questions on past Council work can be directed in person to any council member via Email or Command list (through your CO, in that case).
