Overview
The organization of Nova.org relies on groups of responsibility. Each group has at a minimum a Primary and a Secondary individual responsible for the issues within each group. The Primary is responsible for the organization of the group, deciding what projects need to be completed, and is the first person contacted when something is amok.
Groups/Crews
The groups are documented by what they are responsible for, then by order of responsibility. Anyone at or past #3 is considered a backup and would be contacted only if the Primary and Secondary were unavailable or unresponsive.
