Welcome to the List of Historical Chairs. This list seeks to provide a full record of the composition of the Assembly's presidium since the creation of the role of Chair of the Assembly in its current form, containing lists of all Chairs and their deputies as well as their respective tenures. Furthermore, a number of records set by officeholders are also included for the pleasure of the reader.

The TSP Wiki Article about the Chair explains the origin of the role of Chair as follows:

TSP Wiki Wrote:The responsibilities of the modern Chair of the Assembly were originally administered by the Secretary of the Region. In the Great Council of late 2005 to early 2006, the role of Chair of the Council (now Assembly) was created to administer votes and laws, but the Secretary (then changed to Minister) of the Region also had this responsibility. To reconcile this contradiction, the Minister of the Region was given the role of Chair of the Assembly, which existed in the Charter as a set of responsibilities held by the Minister of the Region (who had no other responsibilities). The Minister of the Region was renamed on November 10th 2010 and the first person elected as Chair of the Assembly was Todd McCloud on 15 January 2011.

This first election for the Chair marks the start for all data collected for the lists below.

The Assembly is currently under its 45^th Presidium and has seen an additional 12 transitional Acting Chairs. In total, 30 unique individuals have served as Chair, whether Acting or regular. The full spreadsheet with links to elections and stepdowns (where applicable) is available here.

Here are some records set by our historical Chairs:

In total, 26 unique individuals have served as Deputy Chair of the Assembly in 33 deputy terms. For the purposes of this list, a deputy's term lasts from their appointment until they resign, are dismissed, become the Acting Chair, or their appointing Chair leaves office. As with the list of Chairs, the full spreadsheet with links to appointments and stepdowns (where applicable) is available here.

Of course, there is a short record section for our historical Deputy Chairs, too:

Assembling this list required quite some digging around in this and all our previous forums, and I couldn't find exact records for every single term ‒ especially on the question of deputies ‒ and thus there may be slight inaccuracies, but I did attempt to make it as complete and correct as I could. If you would like to correct some of the data or have additional information to incorporate, please contact @anjo.
