The term Officer currently refers collectively to staff members, and the Curator. The term Curial Officer currently refers exclusively to the Curator. This usage is misleading and unnecessary, and only exists for historical reasons. It is expunged from the Constitution thus. The only potential functional change is to remove mention of Temporary Curial Officers; however, this facility has never been used, and it is understood that the creation of such offices fall within the remit of a Decision without specific mention in the Constitution.
The Executive is composed of the Hexagon Members, Senior Staff Officers Members and Staff Officers Members, who run the Site.

Article IV. Curial Officers The Curator
A Curial Officer is a Citizen who has been given a mandate to administer a project or institution at TWC. It shall only apply to chairpersons or project leaders/managers, and not general or day-to-day staff of the project. Curial Officers shall be given by the Council appropriate local moderator privileges to carry out their duties
A Curial Officer The Curator shall be elected by the procedure in Section 2 Article 2, with the addition that the Curator shall post the mandate for the job in the Qualifications thread.
A Curial Officer The Curator shall hold his office for a period of three months from the day they are elected. In the event an office is vacant, its duties shall be assumed by the Curator until an officer is elected. If the Curator is absent (has not logged into the site) for 7 days without giving notice of an absence, or if the Curator is absent for more than 15 days regardless of notice, the Curator is automatically removed from office along with any appointed staff. Any decisions of this office shall be held over until a replacement is elected. Where such a decision is time-limited, time from the moment the Curator is removed shall not count towards the limit and will continue only from when a new Curator is elected. When the Curator has been absent for the time prescribed, the CdeC shall appoint a Pro-Curator. The Pro-Curator shall be the longest serving current CdeC member. Where multiple members were elected on the same day, the Pro-Curator shall be the member with the highest number of votes in the CdeC election. Should the qualifying CdeC member intend to stand for Curator, he may not become Pro-Curator and the next longest serving member is appointed. The Pro-Curator shall carry out any outstanding tasks of the Curator that should have been done during the time the Curator was absent. He shall also immediately commence election proceedings for a new Curator in the manner outlined in the Constitution. Once a new Curator is elected, the Pro-Curator shall resume his duties in the CdeC.
If, in the judgement of the Consilium de Civitates, an Officer the Curator has neglected their duties or abused his position, it may dismiss the Officer Curator, and ask the Curator to arrange new elections.
At this point the Permanent Officers subsection is to be collapsed into the main body of the text, with the [fieldset] and bulleted list removed. The changes continue as follows:
Permanent Officers
The following are permanent Curial Officers:
The Curator - The Curator is responsible for ensuring the Curia's day-to-day tasks get done. Upon entering office the Curator must officially appoint at least one Citizen to fulfill the Curator's role on a planned or unplanned absence, and should the Curator wish, to assist him on day to day tasks.
No matter who carries out the tasks assigned to the Curator, the Curator is the one responsible for seeing that they are done promptly and correctly.
Further Permanent Officers may be created by amendment. Any member of Citizen rank may apply unless otherwise stated.
Non Permanent Officers
Non Permanent Curia Officers may be created to oversee specific short term Curia Projects not covered by Curia Committees. They may be created by a Curia Decision and cease to exist upon the completion of the project.

If any Citizen receives a staff warning from an Officer of the Moderation Branch moderator they will be referred to the Consilium de Civitates for potential action. The senior moderators will appoint one of themselves to keep track of Citizen's infractions and promptly forward any new ones to the Curator for posting. The accused will then be asked by the Curator to produce a defence within forty eight hours. At the conclusion of this period, regardless of whether a defence has been received, a vote shall be opened by the Curator to conclude after four days. The options are
...
To achieve apotheosis and Curia vote, the nominee must be supported by three fourths of non abstaining elected members of the Consilium de Civitate. The nominee must have served as a Hexagon member (or previous equivalents), made a clear and distinguished contribution to the community and provided exceptional service to TWC in their capacity as an administrator. They cannot be nominated within three months of resigning their Officer Position.
...
If the nominee should accept, the Consilium de Civitate will create a thread within the Consilium de Civitate Forum to investigate the legitimacy of the nominee’s accolades. The Consilium de Civitate has the right to request any and all relevant material from the Staff Officers to ascertain this, with the approval of the Hexagon Council. The Consilium de Civitate will discuss the nominee and his qualifications for at least a week before the vote is held.

However, technically this is correct and the Wiki personage is no longer under direct Hex or Curia control save for the processes already in place. I'd also like to add that several other sub sects of the content staff have a sort of pecking order that creates a chief, even though there's no written, contractual obligations to follow in the Constitution. If we want to really get technical that is, which I don't see the need in this specific proposal. For the sake of this proposal, then one may group the Wiki editor in with any other content editor. There's certainly no shame in that (and certainly it has been the nominal practice for some time) despite the "grandeur" that this title supposedly once held before my time. I will leave that up for debate by others more skilled than I in TWC history.
