Aer-GO-02-23-02

Purpose: This General Order is meant to express the budget methodology of the Office of the Supreme Commander. My intent is this GO remain in effect well past my tenure as Supreme Commander for Pegasus Command. 

I do hereby order the following budgeting formula for budget approval submissions to our Quroum: 

For Official Guild Games that have been in existence more than 6 months and for which head count data on individual guild member participation is available the following formula shall apply: 

Funding Formulas:

6 Month AVG of Individual guild participation divided by the total number of guild individual participation the product of which is multiplied by 100 to generate a percentage. 

For new Official Games or other games for which data does not yet exist to allow funding under the above:

A percentage for that game to be arrived at by consultation with the Head of State, historic, and other sources for what to expect as a guild participation rate as an AVG for 6 months. 

Funding Rules:

1.  Once a percentage is generated for all the games under proposal for a budget they should be rounded up or down to the nearest tenth in order to equal 100% of the funds. 

2. Once this percentage is generated it is to be multiplied by the total amount of funding being requested and that would be the allocation to that specific Official Game. IE 10% on 100 USD being requested would generate 10 USD to that specific Official Game. 

3. These rules or formula do not apply to any other funding categories. If other areas are to be funded out of the request reduce the total by that amount, then take the percentage. 

4. These rules do not limit the Supreme Commander from asking for supplemental funding for Official Games or for other areas as special allocations. 

5. Once funding is approved under this formula by the Quorum the Supreme Commander shall make all responsible efforts to avoid changing the allocation of any Official Games funding for that 6-month period. 

6. Should an Official Game be shut down or suffer a severe drop in attendance for 90 days, or more the Supreme Commander should seek approval by the Quroum to recapture any unspent funds for that game. That may then be held or reallocated to other Official Games or areas. 

Note this order is not yet in effect and is being published for comment and review.
