+## Composition
+
+The Internal Affairs Team shall be composed of a minimum of 2 members and a maximum of 5. There may not have more than 2 members belonging to Project Leadership, Game Admins or Maintainers respectively.
+
+If not enough members exist or for whatever reason the entirity of the Internal Affairs Team is unable to act in a certain situation, the powers and duties of the Internal
+Affairs team will be assumed by Project Leadership.
+
+Internal Affairs Team members must:
+- be permanent staff members,
+- be in Good Standing,
+- not be Wizards,
+
+## Elections
+
+1. Elections will be called when the Internal Affairs Team is under its minimum member count or when otherwise decided by the Internal Affairs Team.
+2. All candidates must be nominated by any other Permanent Staff Member. This step must go on for at least 72 hours. A candidate must accept a nomination for that nomination to be valid.
+3. Candidates shall be put up for election. All Staff Members may vote anonymously. This step must go on for at least 72 hours.
+    - A quorum of 1/3rd of the staff team is required for a vote to be valid.
+    - If there are less candidates than there are open then each candidate will have their own Yes or No votes. A majority is needed to succeed.
+    - If there are more candidates than there are open positions then candidates will go to an instant runoff election. 
+        - In an instant runoff election each voter gets one vote and they rank their candidates from most preferred to least preferred.
+        - Winners are decided through a series of "rounds". In each round any candidate who gains a voting power equal to: Number of votes/Number of open seats wins.
+        - If no candidate wins in a round, then the candidate with the least voting power is eliminated.
+        - Once a candidate is eliminated their votes are transferred to each one's next preference.
+        - Once a candidate wins their votes are transferred to each one's next preference but their "voting power" is multiplied by 1 - number of votes needed to win / the candidates' voting power.
+        - The election is concluded once all seats are filled or all candidates are eliminated.
+
+## Removal
+
+Internal Affairs Team members may be removed under the following procedure:
+
+1. A Staff Member must bring a vote to remove one or more Internal Affairs Team Members
+    - A Staff Member may only make one vote every 3 months. 
+    - A vote must be accompanied with a good faith justification.
+    - A vote cannot be held for a justification that was rejected in a previous vote.
+    - Should a vote be brought which is clearly in bad faith, Project Leadership with a majority vote of their own members may cancel the vote and reprimand the Staff Member responsible.
+2. There must be at least 24 hours of open discussion with the members subject
+   to removal having a chance to defend themselves.
+3. Each member subject to removal will be put forward to a Yes or No vote. A majority is needed to remove.
+
+For the duration of the vote, members subject to removal are suspended from their position in the Internal Affairs Team.
+
+## Powers and Responsibilities 
+
+All powers of the Internal Affairs Team must be exercised via a majority of its members, or panels of at least three.
+
+While Wizards are necessarily exempt from the certain enforcement powers of the Internal Affairs Team such as Removal, they are expected to follow their directives where applicable.
+
+Internal Affairs Team Members must recuse themselves where they may have a conflict of interest. If other Internal Affairs Team members believe that another member has a conflict
+of interest they may recuse that member with a majority vote.
+
+### Mediation 
+
+The Internal Affairs Team is responsible for identifying, de-escelating and mediating Active Conflicts
+
+During an Active Conflict any Internal Affairs Team Member may order staff members to disengage from a discussion and use moderation tools to enforce this order.
+As a last resort, any Internal Affairs Team Member may temporarily suspend another Staff Member in order to stop an active conflict.
+Such a Suspension must be reviewed by the whole Internal Affairs Team as soon as possible.
+
+The Internal Affairs Team may temporarily prohibit interaction between certain staff members or the discussion of certain topics if they deem it necessary to resolve an Active Conflict.
+
+### Enforcement of the Staff Policy 
+
+The Internal Affairs Team is responsible for enforcing the Staff Policy. 
+
+The Internal Affairs Team may apply Strikes, Suspensions and Removals to Staff Members for violations of the Staff Policy.
+
+### Transparency 
+
+The Internal Affairs Team must have transparent policies and processes. They must make such policies and processes available to the Staff Team.
+
+When taking action the team must inform involved staff members of what the Internal Affairs Team is doing.
+
+In extraordinary circumstances the Internal Affairs Team may decide to deviate from a part of its policies and processes. These occurances must be made 
+public to the Staff Team as soon as possible. The Internal Affairs Team should avoid normalizing deviating from their policies and should instead amend them if they prove to be insufficient.
+
+Changes to Internal Affairs Team policies, including the Staff Policy, must be ratified by the Staff Team.
