Directors
NB: These positions do not necessarily require the Director role. They are organizational titles; the director of a division has broad authority within it, but is not a dictator, and should take into account the needs, desires, and interests of those in their department, and in the corp as a whole.
- CEO - Is the CEO.
- Research Director - decides blueprint priorities, manages high-value blueprints, manages invention and research assets, sets budget for research needs
- Engineering Director - decides construction priorities, manages construction assets and components, sets budget for industry needs
- Diplomacy Director - handles extracorp diplomacy, COAD bullshit, etc.
- Security Director - handles internal security and PVP operations
- Mining Director - tracks mineral JBP and JSP, oversees mining ops and mining assets
- Trade Director - handles large-scale market and contract trading, including large inter-corporate trades
- Special Directors - no defined responsibilities, appointed for management or miscellaneous purposes
Corp Policies
Recruiting
- RPG.net Members
- Any RPG.net member in good standing may join as a Citizen, or as a Talent if sponsored by an existing Talent.
- The probationary period as a Citizen is a maximum of three weeks.
- Non-Members
- Non-RPG.net members should join the RPGnet public channel if they are interested in applying to the corporation.
- An invitation will be extended by an officer or Director if the prospective member seems like a good fit for the corporation. They will join as a Citizen.
- As above, the probationary period as a Citizen is a maxium of three weeks.
- Sanction
- Members who act against the best interests of the corporation or its other members may be demoted to Citizen by an officer or director, provided there is compelling evidence of such. Chat and/or combat logs are encouraged.
- Citizens who continue to do so may be asked to leave the corporation.
- Alts
- Alternate characters of existing Talents may join as Librarians. They receive the same roles.
All Talent members should receive 100 corporate shares for purposes of settling corporate votes. Librarian alts do not receive voting shares. Any Talent may call for a vote on an issue, though frivolous votes or immediate re-votes on decided issues are heavily discouraged.
Leadership
- The corp leadership council is comprised of the CEO and all Directors. The council will set oversee corp policy; in most situations, the council will adhere to the discretion of the involved director and officers, and will concentrate on issues that cut across divisional boundaries.
- The leadership council should meet no less often than once weekly to review corporate policy. Policy should be formulated to support the primary goal of providing a support network for corp members, and a secondary goal of advancing the interests and assets of the corporation.
- A "state of the corp" meeting should be held no less often than once monthly, to discuss the corp's current situation and goals with the membership at large, and to solicit feedback from the membership.
- The following policy changes require a corporate vote to be scheduled of a duration no less than three days; to pass, they must command 51% of shares voted, with at least 40% of corporate shares cast:
- Any amendment to the corporate charter.
- Any purchase or sale of assets over 1 billion ISK.
- Any policy decision that exposes the corp to potential loss of more than 1 billion ISK.
- Appointing a new Director to a vacant office.
- Appointing a character to Special Director.
- The following policy changes require a corporate vote to be scheduled of a duration no less than one week; to pass, they must command 66% of shares voted, with at least 60% of corporate shares cast:
- Any proposal to move primary or major corporate operations from highsec to lowsec, or from lowsec to 0.0.
- Any motion of no confidence against a member of the leadership council.
- Appointing a new CEO should that office become vacant.
Corp Operations
- Acronyms
- JBP: Jita Buy Price - the highest priced "buy" order of 1m+ units on the Jita market (updated weekly)
- JSP: Jita Sell Price - the lowest priced "sell" order of 1m+ units on the Jita market (updated weekly)
- Tax: Tax should remain between 5-15%, in order to keep the corp wallet funded.
- Mining: There should be at least one specific corporate mining operation per week. The corporation will assess the value of the minerals based on their JBP - 80% of this value will be paid out to the participants from the corp wallet, and the corp will keep the minerals for use or sale.
- Mineral Sales: Corp members may purchase minerals from the corporate stockpile at the JSP, or sell them at the JBP, subject to availability of funds and minerals. This should be handled through contracts for accounting.
- Drone Alloys: The corp will buy drone alloys for reprocessing at JBP of the minerals they contain assuming perfect refining, subject to the state of the corp wallet. As with mineral sales, this should be handled through contracts.
- Blueprints: All blueprints should remain under corp control at all times except in extreme circumstances, as authorized by a Director or Research Lead.
- Construction: Tech 1 frigates, ammunition, and many Tech 1 modules are constructed for the benefit of all members, and will be dumped into the Open hangar. More advanced items may be ordered from the corp, as long as the requirements are provided or paid for at the JSP. These items are for the use of corp members, and should not be sold. Anything else built by the corp remains corp property.
- Standings
- Any instance of aggression towards a VGO member, including ore theft, should be reported to a member of the leadership council, so that corp standings can be adjusted appropriately. In most cases, this will be toward an individual, unless there is reason to believe that a substantial majority of the aggressor's corporation is involved in similar behavior. If possible, chat and/or combat logs should be provided.
- All other diplomatic correspondence, including inquiries about corp politics and standings, should go through the Diplomacy Director, or the CEO if that office is vacant.
- Piracy: VGO is not an aggressor corp, and "piracy" (defined here as an unprovoked attack against an individual or corp for financial gain, intimidation, or entertainment) is not permitted by VGO members; it has a strong negative impact on the corp's reputation and tends to provoke war declarations and counterattacks.
