The basic CS officer website creation process:

• The unit decides they need an Auxiliary Website.
  
  
• A CS officer is appointed. The CS officer needs to be listed as such in AUXDATA in order to gain configuration rights to the site.
  
  
• The CS officer builds the WOW website. The site being built must meet all of the website requirements to be approved. These requirements are specified on the checklists available on the IT Group home page.
  
  
• The CS officer presents the new website to the unit leadership. The elected unit leadership must approve the website to allow it to be published. They also have final approval of all content.
  
  
• The CS officer requests the DSO-CS (through the appropriate channels) to submit the site for National approval. The DSO-CS reviews the site to confirm that it meets all National requirements, and if it does, requests National to review and approve the site.
  
  
• The National staff reviews the website and either approves it or asks for corrections. Once approved, National sends an email to the CS officer and adds this new site to the Flotilla Finder and the PE Course Database.
