Organization
A chairman is appointed by popular vote of the active members. It is the chairman’s responsibility to make use of the members’ special abilities and talents and to assign them to duties, such as training, liaison representation, and so on. The chairman can be removed from office by popular vote. A chairman’s power is to handle the practical needs of the team, including internal disputes.

A field leader is also appointed by popular vote, and can be removed from office in the same manner. When they are in a battle with other Avengers, they are to automatically assume leadership unless they actively appoint a temporary field leader for special situations/cases. The field leader is also to encourage and manage training.

It is suggested that chairman and field leader be different individuals.
