Meeting time assessment: Some members have expressed difficulty coming to meeting at assigned time. Admiral Teg will have new Cadets and Ensigns gather all preferred times from fleet members. It shall also be considered having 2 meetings a week.

Diplomatic Relations have opened with Serenity Fleet. Captain Baumer Acting Fleet Admiral of Serenity Fleet and Admiral Garbo met and discussed current situation, Captain Baumer noticed Second Fleet when Second Fleet officers assisted Serenity Fleet with Borg incident in Ten Forward. They have a current membership of 30 with approx 50% activity. No official ties, just strong friendly relationship. They have been given a room in the Second Fleet Ventrilo. This is a friendly, temporary holding only.

Commodore Tala inquired into status of relations with Borg Collective Fleet, and 9th Fleet.

NO RELATIONS WITH BORG FLEET AS BORG ARE SWORN AND MORTAL ENIMIES OF ALL FEDERATION FLEETS.

9th Fleet stated their playing style would “lack integrity”, and in that light formal/official contact has been delayed.

After game release meeting will still take place on Vent server, as it is quicker and more accurate.

Captain More inquired about status with beta, policy should be to remain calm and do not bug any developers about beta testing. Cryptic has not offered beta testing to Second Fleet.

Squad Leaders are to keep an eye on their squad members, and Squad Leaders can PM or E-Mail Rear Admiral Walker (AlienTwo) for Forum Activity of their squads. This is informational only.

Inactivity basically constitutes first as no forum presence, then no outside communication, then no meetings (in order of importance). All inactivity will be taken on a CASE BY CASE basis due to the number of differing circumstances.

Rear Admiral of Foreign Policy open, all members able to nominate candidate, which is to be done via any Vice Admiral.

Promotions to Captain to be submitted to board of Admiralty for approval.

Starbase 21: Will be a posting for anyone not direct assigned to squadron, a person below Lieutenant. Anyone below Lieutenant does not get a profile on the official website due to space constraints.

Website update: Second Fleet now owns SecondFleet.net and 2ndFleet.net! Old site to be removed and replaced on SecondFleet.net (very time consuming). New buttons: 1 take user to Second Fleet logs (live journal clone)with modified profiles and templates. These can be used to create log for character of STO. Because this was an expensive upgrade paypal option for added features is set at 2 levels, mid grade and full, 5.99 & 9.99 respectively.

E-Mail addresses becoming issue, resolution is internal e-mail account for Second Fleet. Secure assigned portal format.

Theme Song; as an officially “unorganized” group, Second Fleet has the liberty to use any piece of music created. Fleet Admiral DeVITO has been working with Datalore before he left to gather submissions. The Admiralty will organize a vote on a already written piece of music, then create a similar original piece, to be both voted on by fleet members later on SecondFleet.net.

Desired tasks of each section needed to be documented. Each Vice Admiral will begin crafting policy description, member handling reports etc... Vice Admirals recommended to use input with all of their squadron members to collaborate on best policies/procedures.

UPDATE REVIEW IN 2 WEEKS, 2009.10.19

Policy is to solely reflect individual Division policy which will be combined with the other divisions into one complete constitution regulating fleet policy.

VENT PROTOCOL: Main lobby is casual chat, Holodeck is for gaming, Ten-Forward additional chat, Conference Room is locked meeting room for members only. All other rooms to be used as stated.

POLITICS AND RELIGION POLICY: Second Fleet fully respects all fleet members freedom of expression, and requests that fleet members respect others freedoms. If discussing any “hot button” issues, please attempt to remove yourself to Ten-Forward as a gesture of respect to members who do not want to be privy to the conversation. If any members feel uncomfortable hearing specific conversation, please remove yourself from the conversation or request the conversation is moved to Ten Forward. If any members feel themselves getting to emotional on an issue, please drop the conversation. Drop It, or Move It.

Inactivity: Once SecondFleet.net is up and running, if members are inactive for 45 days, they will be removed from their post while retaining their rank. After three months of inactivity, every additional month reduces the players rank one grade per month until the rank of LT.
