7.5.3.a Summarize the role's purpose;

7.5.3.a Summarize the role's purpose;

7.5.1 Each role (including members of bodies) defined in the Bylaws shall have a Manual, named "(Name of Role) Manual", with role name suffixes such as "Director" or "Manager" removed (unless the resulting title would be too confusing).
7.5.2 Manuals shall be considered descriptions of the corresponding roles which supersede neither their Bylaw-mandated responsibilities nor specific Policies describing their responsibilities.
7.5.3 Manuals shall:
7.5.3.a Summarize the role's purpose;
7.5.3.b Describe the role's typical operations, including executive structure and responsibilities as applicable;
7.5.3.c List the role's responsibilities, whether ongoing, time-fixed, or optional; and

7.5.4 Manuals may only be amended by:
7.5.4.a A simple majority vote of a General Meeting;
7.5.4.b A simple majority vote of the Board of Directors;

7.5.4.d A simple majority vote of the incumbents in the corresponding role, with the consent of the Officer overseeing the role (directly or indirectly).
7.5.4.d.i For the sole purposes of this section, the Officers are their own overseeing Officers, and any other role with no explicitly defined overseeing Officer has the President as its overseeing Officer.
7.5.5 Manuals shall be passed or repealed when the corresponding role is created or removed, respectively, by the same body creating or removing the role.
7.5.5.a It shall be out of order to amend the Bylaws to create or remove a role without simultaneously passing or repealing, respectively, the corresponding Manual.
7.5.5.b The parties listed in section 7.5.4 shall pass a Manual when a role previously created is discovered to be lacking its Manual, and shall repeal a Manual when a role previously removed is discovered to still have a Manual.
7.5.5.b.i In the latter case, the role being nonexistent, the consent of the incumbents as described in section 7.5.4.d is not required.

7.5.5.b.ii Notwithstanding section 7.5.5.a, the delay in passing or repealing the Manual does not void the creation or removal, respectively, of the corresponding role.
7.5.5.c Changes to the number or Constituency makeup of a role shall not be considered creation or removal of a role (e.g. the creation of Class Representatives for the PEY Constituency does not create a new role).
7.5.6 When a Manual is amended, it shall be noted, within the relevant Manual, which of the parties listed in section 7.5.4 did so.
7.5.7 Notice shall be given to the Board of Directors when a Manual is amended by a party listed after the Board of Directors in section 7.5.4
