How positions are filled in a Technocratic society. There is not a Technical and a Democratic division in the Technate design for North America as regards operation of the Technate except in the sense of how a Technate would put people in positions of administration. The Continental Director in a Technate is chosen from among the Sequence Directors by those Directors by the use of a ballot. How positions are filled in a Technocratic society : Positions are filled based on the proven method of nomination from below and appointment from above. For example, if a position were vacated for whatever reason, then the people immediately below that position would nominate candidates from among their ranks for the position. Then the managers from the rank above the position would choose from those candidates the person most qualified for the job. This is the method that is most often used in the technical portions of present organizations, and is based on competence. Competence of the person is determined by the consistent operation of the technology involved. If such machinery should fail to operate within acceptable parameters, then the person responsible would be quickly removed and replaced with someone who could perform the job adequately. The only exception to this method is the position of Continental Director, only because there is no one higher. This Director position is selected from the members of the Continental Board of Directors or Sequence Directors, for it is they who best know who among them is most capable of handling the job. A Continental Director could also be recalled by the Sequence Directors if their performance deemed it so. Technate design & Democracy ? Read the Technocracy Study Course for more information.
