OTO USA Annual Reporting Results for the 2004 e.v. Reporting Season

This data is compiled every year in January and February by the Electoral College Annual Reports Secretary. It is then subjected to fundamental statistical analysis and compared to previous years. The data is given to individual Electors for review and sent to the bodies in question with suggestions on what, if anything, they need to do to meet criteria. In most cases a body is meeting every criteria for its class and the vast majority of bodies that are not are deficient in only one area. Exceptional bodies may receive a letter of appreciation, and if they are a Camp or an Oasis, this may include the suggestion that they apply for the next level of charter (Oasis or Lodge).

This is a basic breakdown and is for statistical purposes only. There is a more detailed version available to chartered bodymasters. All data was collected using the same form, the EC Annual Report Form, and was submitted by the bodies in question. All categories relate to the criteria set forth by the EC unless otherwise indicated (i.e. data on MOE initiations, which no body is required to give, as we do not proselytize or convert).

 Thought to be due to a lack of clear expression on the part of the EC re: our request that each local body have a dedicated email for the body, which is to be discussed further as the standard is currently unclear.

The EC is considering making a Mass requirement for Camps in recognition of the fact that most (i.e. 79% of) Camps already are doing 2 or more Masses a year. Comments are welcome, please email the Senator of your choice.
