The CEO and the EEO are involved in selecting and running the executive teams (see Executive Teams). The EEO is involved in external affairs, and the CEO is involved in everything else; see Division between internal and external functions.
In small enough groups, the Primary Elect Commission also taken on the functions of the External Elect Commission. When this is the case, the CEO and the EEO are likewise combined into one position.
In groups of size 5 or less, the prohibition on simultaneous officeholding doesn't apply, and the CEO and the Tribune can be the same person.
The CEO and the EEO are recallable delegates of the representative houses of the legislature.
The CEO is selected by a body composed of all of the members of the primary elect commission, plus all of the members of the primary delegate commission.
The EEO is selected by a body composed of all of the members of the external elect commission, plus all of the members of the external delegate commission.
Note that the Augmented Elect Commissions (which includes the councils) are not used in the selection of the CEO or EEO.
Any three members of the relevant body may nominate any person to the position of CEO or EEO, with the consent of the nominee. See the procedure for electing a recallable delegate; except that ballots cast in these elections cannot say "no opinion". Nominations and ballots are public.
The CEO has some powers over the Primary Executive Team, and the EEO has some powers over the External Executive Team, as follows. The CEO and the EEO have the power to nominate candidates for positions in the relevant executive teams, and to dismiss officers from those same teams. They also summon and preside over meetings of their executive teams.
The CEO and the EEO have no powers except as described above. In particular, neither the CEO nor the EEO have a portfolio, neither of them can issue orders, and neither of them can hire or fire people from any position save for their authority over their executive team.
