All Hands Avengers Meeting
Now that the other Avengers were back it was time to reorganize the team a bit. James didn't want to give up leadership of the team and he knew Charlie would want it. The answer to the problem was simple. A team meeting and a vote according to the charter. There was also the issue of dealing with a lot of Avengers to address.

James sent out notification of the time to all Avengers, reserve and active. When it was the right time he made his way to the conference room and took a seat.

	"So with all of us finally back together, we have a few items of business to take care of," James said. "First would be the election of a new chairperson, or leader if you will." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	"And this is to be between either Charlie or yourself, correct?" She thought the decision was quite obvious. Charlie had returned. Leadership over the team should be promptly handed over to him. "If such is the case, Charlie should reclaim his position as team leader." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	James shook his head. "No, it's open to a vote as stated by the charter. People can nominate others and then we vote." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	"Okay, well, we've got like a miniature quorum at the moment, but even once everyone else gets here, I think an ordinary chairperson vote is putting the cart before the horse." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	Ryan slipped in late completely unnoticed. Living across town made it had to get to place on time. And combine that with the night he had last night since he had been away from his friends so long it was kind of a miracle he had made it at all. (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	Aine arrived with Luna and was sitting next to her. She didn't really see why she should be here now since she probably wasn't going to be sticking around. (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	"I think we have to first deal with the numbers we're looking at. Sixteen Avengers holed up in Manhattan under a single chairperson isn't a good allocation of resources. I think the leadership issue should be dealt with after we've sorted out that part." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	next_avenger 2011-01-26 12:44 am UTC (link)
	James sighed. "Okay. We can do it that way." He wanted to get the leadership out of the way because he didn't want to deal with this until after that was settled. "We have two choices. Half of us go to reserve status or we form another team. Everyone can weigh in." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

"Fifteen. The past eight months have convinced me that there are larger concerns that need looking into - and I was already uncomfortable with being an agent of even international government. I will retain a communicator, if allowed, and be available as an emergency reserve - but will be retiring from active membership to find a more suitable way to try and protect this system."

"I propose we form another team," Charlie said. "I take one, James takes the other. We can either stay under the same space, and alternate on who goes out and does what, or the other team can set up shop in another city, and deal with things there. That way, half the team doesn't have to decided whether they want take themselves out full-time or not."

He paused.

"Anyone else got any thoughts?"

	"Two teams, but each team will vote on a chairperson per the Avengers charter," James said. "The chairperson may or may not be the field leader. It has happened in the past where one person was the chair and another led in the field." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	"Splitting the team is likely the best solution," Akilah replied. Her attention turned to the entire group. "The second team should take residence in another city so that it may focus on problems within that region. Perhaps the West Coast Avengers should be formed once again?"

"If you are going strictly by the most recent charter, the bylaws do allow for two fully funded and sanctioned groups of Avengers, so long as they are not in overlapping regions save in cases of large scale threats.
However, because the same organization funds another team currently occupying the West Coast compound, a new location would need to be found.
The charter also allows for an active membership of seven per team, with allowance for a single 'emergency on-call alternate' - so up to eight active agents per team."
