KIDC Command Staff
      The Command Staff is a team of twelve trusted advisors to
      whom the Ambassador can turn to when faced with major decisions
      that have a fundamental importance in how the Klingon Imperial
      Diplomatic Corps is organized or administered. 
      The Command Staff is composed of the Ambassador, the Chancellor,
      the Ambassador's Chief of Staff and any members that the Ambassador
      might see fit to appoint based on their years of service, loyalty
      and dedication to the ideals of the Klingon Imperial Diplomatic
      Corps. These twelve positions are not permanent; if a member
      of the Command Staff is derelict in his/her duties, then they
      are retired from the post by the Ambassador, Chancellor or Chief
      of Staff, or they may request a Personal Leave of Absence. 
      The members of the Command Staff have demonstrated their desire
      and dedication to oversee the successful administration and operation
      of the Klingon Imperial Diplomatic Corps. They each operate and
      maintain a department, area or sector for the KIDC as ordered
      by the Ambassador and are required to remain in contact with
      the Ambassador as to the status of their respective areas. 
      The current members of the Ambassador's Command Staff are: 
      
        1) Chancellor Stalker Zantai Subaiesh 
        2) Retired Chief of Staff, Commander K'Daq Sutai Kasara 
        3) Chief of Staff, Lady Ka'Diin Vestai Kasara 
        4) Assistant Chief of Staff, Qor'etlh valwI'na 
        5) Captain Lady Katana Vestai Kasara 
        6) Captain Makin Sutai Cheghjihtah-Kasara 
        7) Commander K'heyrel Vestai De'Hal-Kasara-BaClar 
        8) Lieutenant HoS'etlh qultIq Tai Kasara 
        9) Lieutenant Draq'naH Tai SaqIm  
          
      The Ambassador receives her authority from the High Council
      and the Emperor Kahless II. She is the authorized voice of the
      Empire on Terra. The Command Staff serves as an advisory group
      for the Ambassador in areas of KIDC operations, but the Ambassador
      always has the final authority over command decisions. 
        
      Office of the Chief of Staff
      The operation of the Klingon Imperial Diplomatic Corps requires
      a considerable amount of administrative tasks. Since the Ambassador's
      and the Chancellor's schedules are normally filled with the duties
      and responsibilities of planning and organizing convention participation,
      fund-raisers, public appearances, publication of our online newsletters,
      and member evaluation, much of the administration of the KIDC
      is entrusted to the Office of the Chief of Staff. 
      The primary function of the Office of the Chief of Staff
      is the administration of the KIDC; this includes, but is not
      limited to: 
      
        - Printing and mailing out KIDC info packs and applications.
        
 - Printing and mailing out KIDC recruiting fliers
        
 - Answering questions concerning KIDC (purpose, goals, operation)
        
 - Advising members on recruiting methods and techniques.
        
 - Screening questions concerning Klingon heritage, rites, terminology,
        language, lineage and others, and directing the questioner to
        the proper source of information.
        
 - Performing tasks that the Ambassador might request in order
        to free her schedule:
      
  
      
        
          a) Research  
          b) Transcribing texts  
          c) Acquiring pictures and other Klingon related visual aids  
          d) Writing and phoning individuals to develop diplomatic relations
          for the benefit of the KIDC  
          e) Personal correspondence with individuals or groups to convey
          the Ambassador's opinion or stance on certain issues.  
       
      The Chief of Staff does not and cannot command individual
      members of the Klingon Imperial Diplomatic Corps except within
      his/her normal position in the chain of command. However, the
      Chief of Staff does respond as the voice of the Ambassador in
      matters of KIDC operation. The Chief of Staff has a Personal
      Assistant whom is dedicated to assist in fulfilling his/her numerous
      duties. 
      The Chief of Staff is given the authority to speak for the
      Ambassador - for this reason, he/she must be in constant contact
      with the Ambassador and the Chancellor, remain up to date on
      the policies and goals of the KIDC, and must be profoundly loyal
      to the Ambassador. Any action by the Chief of Staff that is not
      authorized by the Ambassador herself will be considered a breach
      of conduct and result in the removal of the individual in question
      from the Klingon Imperial Diplomatic Corps and subsequent discommendation
      within the Klingon Empire.
