When Giuseppi Bottasini stepped down as director Mark Sensen proposed that a director's flag be devised to thank him.  From that start, a series of officers' flags were soon developed:

Director's flag

Flag for former director, Giuseppe Bottasini

[FOTW director's flag] by Mark Sensen

This proposal is based on the FOTW flag, but square with white and blue bands equal, a yellow border all around and small yellow border within the white and blue. In the upper part of the white band his initials "GB" in black.
Mark Sensen, 23 July 1997

The idea was that each of the positions would have an "emeritus" personal flag that would be the same as the official flag for the office held defaced with some personal emblem of owner's choice.

Flag for current director

I also made a design for our new "president": like the latter, but proportions 2:3, bigger stars and without initials.
Mark Sensen, 23 July 1997

Vice (assistant) director's flag

I had some other designs in mind; for our Vice-director like the proposal for Giuseppe's flag, but without initials and without the outer border.

Editor's flag

For the editors almost the same but the "inner border" counterchanged blue and white.

Listmaster's flags

Listmaster Emeritus

I am not quite sure, but I think that in the end, the listmaster's flag was made same as the director's, but with the red double border instead of the yellow.

Assistant Listmaster's flag

Keyword co-ordinator's flag

[FOTW keyword coordinator's flag] by António Martins-Tuválkin

This is the personal rank flag for the Keyword Coordinator, an office held by Ole Andersen at the time (not terribly official, but check ed-keywd.html).  Devised 23 December 1999.

Map editor's flag

I made another such flag, for the Clickable Maps Coordinator (myself), using the standard colors of FotW maps.
