The Public Divisions are an extremely important area of action on the Org Board.

These Divisions keep the new people coming in, businesses continuing and expand an Organization.

A completion is defined in HCO Pol Ltr 30th September, 1965 as certified or classed or graded. It is further defined in HCO Pol Ltr 17th October, 1966 Issue II as Grade Rehab, S & D, assist or Sec Check.

So in fact much is required of Public Divisions personnel. They must be of a high cause level in carrying out the old programmes and building new ones.

Since each question of a Triple Grade is considered as a type of process by itself which handles not a different Grade (process subject matter) but a different flow (aspect) of the subject being addressed, for statistic purposes each flow of a Triple Grade should be considered as one PC completion.

It is very clear that without the Public Divisions an Org will not go very far.

To understaff these Divisions or to unmock them with ineffective staff is an act of unstabilizing an organization's future and depriving Scientology of a faster dissemination level.

Dissemination Division is also very important but where would it be without the Public Divisions creating a public for it to disseminate to? Exactly nowhere and expansion would dwindle more and more each day.

There are specific qualifications required of the Public Divisions and their personnel:

1. Anyone with a thick ethics file is NOT allowed to work in the Public Divisions.

2. Any new Public Divisions staff who do not attain Staff Status I within three weeks of joining the Divisions are to be sent to PCO for reassignment.

3. Any new Public Divisions personnel must be Grade IV Release within one month of starting in any of the Public Divisions.

4. Each Public Division must have a Secretary and three Directors on post.

5. There must be a fulltime booksalesman on post.

6. Every staff member in the Public Divisions must be Staff Status IV within two months of appointment to any Public Division post.

When any Public Divisions personnel has achieved Staff Status IV and Grade IV Release he or she is fully entitled to wear the Public Divisions Badge which is obtainable from Qualifications WW via your own Org Dept of C and A.
