Purpose

Staffed by the command personnel of the DEM's various member agencies, the DEM Leadership Council exists to coordinate the efforts of those groups, discuss and define overall policy, resolve inter-agency disputes, and direct the DEM's diplomatic policy (reviewing alliances, partnerships and membership requests). In general, all rules and decisions made on a DEM-wide basis are the purview of the Council. It is intended as a place where the leadership can speak with complete frankness on any subject and act as a set of checks and balances for each other.

Process

In general the Leadership Council strives to reach decisions by overall consensus - if this cannot be reached, the DEM Chairperson is the final arbiter in his role as the DEM's chief executive, unless his decision is overturned by a 2/3 supermajority veto of all voting council members. In the absence of a chair (due to retirement, mishap or other circumstances) the Leadership Council assumes command of day to day operation of the DEM pending the selection of a new chair by council election.

Composition

At present the DEM Leadership Council consists of:

DEM Command

DEM Chair

DEM Academy Commandant

Firsts Among Equals (2)

In addition to these voting seats, all past council members are welcome to participate in council discussions, though they no longer have a vote.
