See HCO Policy Letters on Executives and Personnel, 13th February and 17th February, 1961.

I will qualify and issue a Qualification Certificate to any staff personnel who meets executive requirements regardless of whether they occupy an executive post or not.

This means that an Executive Qualification Certificate for a Central Organization executive post, does not demand or command that the holder occupy the post or receive executive units.

A person who does not actually hold an executive post but who wishes to receive an Executive Qualification Certificate must pass all requirements for that executive post and must receive as well a high mark on a Hat check of that post.

Having once occupied such a post in the organization docs not automatically qualify a person but will be taken into account.

Such persons seeking an Executive Qualification Certificate, should be handled exactly as an executive is handled in their application.

Having extra qualified persons on staff for all executive posts means faster expansion and quicker filling of vacated posts, with immediate executive units rather than filling posts on a temporary basis with the consequent long wait for units.
