My reading of the NWC Club Rules.
Under the General Duties of the Cabinet it states among others: settle rules interpretations, and permit forum for officer grievances.
This would appear to indicate that any matter before the Cabinet relating to those headings will be decided by the Cabinet, even if contrary to the expressed wishes of an individual CiC, or army commander.
Furthermore, I would point attention to the use of the word General before Duties of the Cabinet.
This implies that the following listed duties are not the only ones, but only the basic ones.
Of course, we may ask ourselves, what might these other non-general duties be?
I imagine that they are probably of a most mundane nature, but then, if pondered thoughtfully, one might surmise that they could well include duties that some might find onerous.
Sometimes I feel that there is too much credence given to membership in a particular army, as if there is a grimly determined competition between the Club Armies that transcends the friendly rivalry we each have upon the battle maps.
In a similar vein there is among some a view that the Cabinet is in opposition to the Armies.
Yet, two of the members are Army CiC's, and a third is voted the position by the Club membership at large. And the final two positions are filled by the Cabinet themselves.
So, the Cabinet appears to be an expression of both the individual armies, and the membership as a whole.

Yes settle rules interpretations but again caution against the creation of massive amounts of new rules....simple rules makes a simple Club. The Cabinet as a whole, yes represents the Club in certain ways and overall things are fine I have to qualms, but I think people fail to see that each army has its own style of managing itself and each Army knows what is best for its officers.
I am not against the Cabinet or its members. I am against it trying to impose any possible unneeded force upon those running the armies.
I am jumping the gun I bit, but that is only because I might have an idea of what is being discussed.....to a degree. Either way carry on until further notice....
