LE COMMIS
This title is one that is only relevant in the present. Roughly translated "Le Commis" means
the scribe or secretary. Les Voyageurs did not have a scribe anything that needed to be documented
was done by either the Jesuit priests that accompanied them or by the company man, le bourgeois.
Even though the canoe did not hold this position our crew needs a scribe to record the minutes of
our meetings for later dates. Currently our Commis is apointed to a different member each meeting
but as our crew grows this position will be bistowed upon a senior member. Skills needed for this
position are great organization skills and an ability to record information accurately. Le commis
works in conjunction with le bourgeois to make sure all legal forms are in order and ready for
Le Gouvernails signature. If le gouvernail and l'avant are unavailable to make a meeting le commis
will chair the meeting.
