Executive Board Policy
Effective Date: 03/26/2026
Last Updated: 03/25/2026
1.0 Introduction
The Board of Directors is established to provide structured, high-level oversight and advisory input on decisions that impact the overall direction, stability, and long-term success of Praxis Roleplay.
As the server continues to grow in scale, complexity, and operational demand, major decisions require evaluation across multiple areas of leadership. The Board of Directors ensures that significant changes are reviewed through key perspectives, including operations, development, administration, staff management, and community impact.
The purpose of the Board of Directors is to strengthen decision-making by identifying risks, validating direction, and providing informed, objective recommendations. This structure is intended to improve consistency, reduce oversight, and support sustainable long-term growth.
While Ownership retains final authority over the server, the Board of Directors is granted limited, structured authority within this policy, including the ability to formally challenge and, in defined circumstances, override decisions that present significant risk to the server.
All such authority is governed by the procedures and limitations outlined in this policy.
2.0 Board Composition
2.1 Eligibility
Membership on the Board of Directors is restricted to individuals who hold senior leadership positions and have demonstrated the ability to make sound, objective decisions that align with the long-term interests of Praxis Roleplay.
To be eligible for appointment, individuals must:
- Hold a Manager or High Command-level position within the server
- Demonstrate consistent leadership, professionalism, and reliability
- Possess a clear understanding of server operations, structure, and standards
- Be capable of evaluating decisions beyond personal or departmental bias
- Maintain active involvement and awareness of server-wide activity
Board members are expected to operate at a strategic level and must assess decisions based on overall server impact rather than individual preference or isolated concerns.
Eligibility does not guarantee appointment. All Board positions are assigned at the discretion of Ownership.
Restrictions:
- Board members may not participate in other departments
- Staff duties must be their sole focus
- Limited RP exceptions may be granted (LEO or SAFR/SAMS volunteer roles)
Board members are exempt from hourly requirements but remain bound to the Staff & High Command Activity Policy.
