Black Hole, you forgot to make this explicit,
Director of Armed forces: Navy in Wartime
Director of Expansion: Settler movements, Escort movements and Navy in Peacetime

You said you would fix this, but oyu did not.
You also forgot Science Leaders, Military Leaders, War Economy, Mobilization, Drafts and several other things. If you read more of the posts openly, all these things should have been included.
