organisations, neither does it co-operate with this and explicitly delimitates
itself from them.
§ 3 DEFINITION OF A RON’S ORG
a) The definition of the prerequisites a delivery unit has to fulfill
to become and remain a Ron’s Org, as well as the definition of a
RO Field Auditor, are part of these statutes and are given in an appendix.
Any organisation of auditors, case supervisors, course supervisors and
the pertinent admin staff, or individual auditors and case supervisors
can, if the fulfil these definitions, apply to be recognized as a Ron’s
Org or a Ron’s Org Field Auditor respectively.
b) The association does not interfere with the administrative matters
(personnel, dissemination, distribution, finance and pricing) of a Ron’s
Org.
§ 4 MEMBERSHIP
Every RO staff member and every RO field auditor can apply for ROC membership.
Persons who do special projects for the ROs can also be granted membership
status by the ROC.
Honorary membership can be assigned by the General Assembly for persons
having made outstanding contributions to the purposes of the ROC.
Additionally each member has to fulfill the following prerequisites:
- in agreement with standard tech as per LRH and CBR
- C/S okay, which includes: not currently PTS, pursuing his own bridge
actively on RO lines
- supporting the purposes of ROC
- introduced by another member of the ROC
The admission of a new member is decided upon by the General Assembly
after checking the prerequisites.
A member can be temporarily or fully excluded by the ROC when he no longer
fulfills all of the above prerequisites.
§ 5 MEMBERSHIP RIGHTS REGARDING GENERAL ASSEMBLIES
Each member can participate in the General Assemblies. If it comes to
voting on decisions, all members which belong to one RO have together
one vote and can only exercise their right to vote in accordance with
each other. The right to vote for each group of members belonging to one
RO is exercised by the leader (Commanding Officer) of this Ron’s
Org, in his absence by another staff member of this Ron’s Org. ROs
that have more than 10, 20, 30 etc. full time staff members have 1, 2,
3 etc. additional votes.
§ 6 CHAIRMAN
The Chairman presides at the General Assemblies and makes invitations
to attend them through the secretary. He executes decisions of the ROC.
He is the convening authority on ethics matters. He has the decisive vote
in case of a drawn vote. The Chairman represents the ROC externally as
long as no specific post (PRO) is established by the General Assembly.
The Chairman is elected by the General Assembly for a period of 3 years.
He can be voted out before that period terminates, but only by a majority
of two thirds of the present voting members on a General Assembly where
the motion to vote him out was announced in the invitation.
§ 7 SECRETARY
The secretary keeps notes during the meetings and sends them out to all
members. He helps the Chairman to get out the invitation and keeps an
up-to-date address list of all members. He keeps an archive with all old
notes and relevant documents so the time-track of the ROC can easily be
accessed when necessary.
The Secretary is elected by the General Assembly. The same rules apply
as given in § 4 for the election and voting out of the Chairman
§ 8 GENERAL ASSEMBLIES
a) General Assemblies should be held at least once a year. They are presided
over by the Chairman. Notes are kept and sent out to the members.
b) Decisions: To have a quorum, the General Assembly must have been convened
properly (invitations in time, i.e. at least 3 weeks in advance, to all
members) and at least half of the ROs that have members in the ROC must
be either represented by a present member of their org or by authorizing
another present member to act on their behalf.
Basically the General Assembly should try to come to agreements regarding
necessary decisions. When necessary, the Assembly makes decisions by voting
by a simple majority. For decisions which change the statutes of the ROC,
the vote must be supported by two thirds of the present ROs entitled to
vote (taking into account authorized representatives) and at least the
majority of votes of all members entitled to vote. The same rules apply
for a decision to resolve the association, to merge it with another corporation
or to subordinate it to another corporation.
c) Following parts of the statutes cannot be changed: In § 2 the
goal and the purposes a), c), d) and e), the points a), b), c) and f)
of the definition of a Ron’s Org, as well as this rule (§ 8
c).
d) Agenda: The proposed agenda is sent out by the secretary three weeks
before the meeting. Points which a member wants to discuss should be prepared
by a CSW which is sent in time so the secretary can distribute it to the
members one week before the meeting. At the beginning of each meeting
the Chairman reads out the agenda and adds points which members would
like to include. In case of a time-consuming matter that was not prepared
by a CSW the assembly can refuse to put this on the agenda. Changes of
basic rules must be CSW’ed before the meeting according to the aforementioned.
§ 9 SUBCOMMITTEES
a) The ROC can establish subcommittees for specific tasks and empower
them for actions or decisions connected with this task. There are three
permanent subcommittees. A permanent subcommittee can establish its own
rules for procedures and decision making as long as they are in agreement
with its purpose and the general statutes. If not otherwise provided (by
the statutes as in [d] below or by a decision of the General Assembly)
the members of subcommittees are elected by the General Assembly for three
years. The same rules as for Chairman and Secretary apply.
b) The Board of Approval is a permanent subcommittee for checking the
prerequisites set by the statutes of the ROC on delivery units applying
to become a RO; it can grant the delivery unit the status without referring
to the General Assembly. This subcommittee can also notify a RO where
it no longer fulfills the prerequisites and demand that it handle the
matter. When in due time no action is taken to fulfill the demand, the
subcommittee informs the Chairman who has the power to revoke the RO status
of a delivery unit and thus exclude them and their staff members from
the ROC. The RO in question can petition to the full assembly. In any
case the Chairman informs the full assembly when a delivery unit has had
its RO status revoked. Everything stated in this section § 9 b) on
ROs is applicable analogously for RO field auditors.
c) The second permanent subcommittee is the Review Board. Its purpose
is to check on the standardness of technical application of the ROs. It
can send out missions to orgs which can investigate in the course room
or folders to establish the level of standardness; in case of found outnesses
the missions can propose corrective actions to the responsible staff members.
Missions are sent out mainly on reports or requests of staffs or public,
but the Review Board can originate such missions all by itself to ensure
a high technical standard of all ROs. The Review Board consists of highly
trained tech terminals.
d) The third permanent subcommittee is the Qual Board. It consists out
of all SSC/S ULR trained persons of the RO network. Its purpose is to
exchange information on technical matters, establish what is considered
as standard or not standard on doubtful points, and the members can bring
up troubles or observations from their delivery to share experience and
get counsel from peers.
§ 10 ETHICS
Ethics technology of L.Ron Hubbard is applied, with caution regarding
issues that were published after 1975. The ROC originates ethics cycles
only in matters which cannot be solved otherwise. The ROC does not get
involved in internal matters or disputes between members or ROs, except
when the parties involved ask for such help. In this case the Chairman
appoints one or several members as B of I, Comm Ev or whatever is suitable
as per ethics technology.
§ 11 FINANCES
The association is financed by donations.
Apart from that, the General Assembly can decide that members or ROs pay
certain fees to support the work of the ROC and its subcommittees. Such
decision would be regarded as change of statutes as per § 8b) so
that a qualified vote is necessary. As long as no such decision has been
taken there is no obligation to fees and no personal liability of members
for obligations of the association. Apart from that the liability of the
members is limited to the amount of one yearly fee.
The organs and acting personnel of the association work as volunteers
and in principle can only claim reimbursement for their effective expenses
and outlays.
§ 12 LOCAL RON’S ORG COMMITTEES
a) Regional or local ROCs can be formed so the association can delegate
functions regarding those local areas.
b) A regional or local group of at least five ROs can apply to form a
local ROC by handing in their proposed statutes. The General Assembly
of the ROC, which in this case is considered as ROC WW, decides upon this.
The local ROC should have statutes which contain the goals and purposes
given herein and should perform the functions of the ROC WW as given here
within their local group of ROs. The unchangeable parts of these statutes
named in § 6 c) must as well be unchangeable parts of the local ROC’s
statutes. Each local ROC must be defined by its geographical region, which
may not conflict with an area of another local ROC. The local ROC can
be given the right to grant and revoke RO status to delivery units in
its local area. It can have a local Review Board; however, the Review
Board WW may check into orgs of that area if it pleases.
c) The local ROC should be represented at the General Assembly of ROC
WW by at least one representative. This representative has three votes.
Beyond that the ROs of the local ROC have no right to vote in the ROC
WW. The local ROC and the ROC WW keep a close comm line, sending each
other the notes of the General Assemblies, etc.
d) The local ROC can form junior local ROCs in its area by the same procedure.
Every local ROC is responsible to keep up the technical standard in its
area.
e) A local ROC can have its rights and status revoked only by the General
Assembly of ROC WW. This can be done only when the local ROC is not acting
according to the standards set in these statutes, particularly acting
contrary to the purposes or condoning deviations of Standard Tech in its
area of responsibility.
§ 13 STANDING ORDER NO. 1
On matters regarding ROs and RO Field auditors and their application of
tech, everyone can write to the ROC.
These statutes are in force from
their approval by the founding assembly on.
