What it does? It's the US OTO (not International OTO) deliberative body composed of the US Xth, US GTG and US GSG. This is a term used in the US OTO Bylaws to refer to that particular body which acts as board of directors and has sometimes in the past been refered to as Supreme Grand Council -- technically a different entity of VIIths. As the higher degrees fill out in OTO provinces, the various old constitutional bodies get activated. This results in changes of name from time to time, as well as division of duties. The equivalent body in the International OTO is sometimes called in agregate of its members the Cabinet and more commonly the Supreme Council. >Who >monitors it? The members attending the Annual meeting and the International OTO officers. >I don't find any reference to it in the Intimation, OTO was very small in the UK, US and Canada when Crowley made that abstract of a portion of the Constitution, but the main reason for omission there probably had to do with the abbreviated nature of Intimations itself. >nor has >a wordsearch turned up 'the executive' in the voluminous Caliphate >byelaws. You are obviously in possession of old bylaws, not as fully conformed to the old constitutions by reason of too few higher degree members. Also, this would be in the USOTO Bylaws. Crowley's provincial Constitution would be the best place to look for this part, not his Intimations or the 1917 Reuss Constitution. However, you might find more in the Reuss Constitution published in Equinox III, X. The Crowley provincial (Mysteria Mystica Maxima) Constitution was printed in the Magical Link after your resignation: Fall 1997 e.v. Issue, New Series No.1, p.6 & ff. The source for this present US OTO Bylaw terminology is from that document: (Crowley MMM Constitution -- Dated Feb. 15th, 1913 e.v. and signed by Crowley as Baphomet Xth) Article VI Section I. There shall be an Executive Council (thereinafter refered to as the Executive) consisting of the National Grand Master General, the Grand Secretary General and the Grand Treasurer General whose duty shall be to administer the affairs of the M.M.M. The National Grand Master General shall be President of the Executive. The remaining Sections II through VII of that Constitution set forth the functions, authority, regalia and limits of the Executive. 93 93/93 Bill ____________...oooOOO---thelema93-l@hollyfeld.org---OOOooo..._____________ To unsubscribe send "unsubscribe" to thelema93-l-request@hollyfeld.org To unsubscribe your@email.com send "unsubscribe your@email.com" To unsubscribe from the digest send to thelema93-l-digest-request@hollyfeld.org http://www.hollyfeld.org/heaven/elists/thelema93-l.phtml
