BOARD OF INVESTIGATION

1. The purpose of a Board of Investigation is to help LRH discover the cause in any conflict, poor performance or down statistic. A Board of Investigation is composed of not less than three and not more than five members. A majority of the members must be senior to the persons being investigated except when this is impossible. The board may investigate by calling in a body on the persons concerned or by sitting and summoning witnesses or principals. A Board of Investigation is a much less serious affair than a Committee of Evidence. Persons appearing before it are not under duress or punishment. The whole purpose is to get at the facts. A Board may recommend a Committee of Evidence. (HCO PL 4 Jun 66) 2. a Board of Investigation may (and should) be convened any time there is an unusual improvement in an org or its statistics. Such a Board must(a) isolate the reasons or changes which brought about the improvement.(b) draw up their findings in the form of policy or directives to pass them on to the convening authority and W recommend commending any person found responsible for the improvement (the board does not command, it only recommends, the convening authority alone may issue the commendation). (HCO PL 31 Oct 66 II) Abbr. B of I.

a board convened to discover the cause in any conflict, poor performance or down statistic. Persons appearing before it are not under duress or punishment. The whole purpose is to get at the facts. And he can get his directive out promptly and at once, providing of course that the Ad Council then appoints a Board of Investigation to investigate the situation to find out if that was the right answer or the wrong answer, or if some other answer is needed, or whether no answer was required at all, so as to wipe out that directive or modify the directive, so we don't keep introducing arbitrary laws in from every quarter, see.
