Inner Circle
I think that generally I agree completely with that. Some additional thoughts:
I believe that in every situation a Mentor's task would be considered first and foremost. In theory we all communicate well enough and frequently enough that we would have no such clashes, but should such a circumstance arise it would be the Mentee's responsibility to tell their non-mentor that they have a task from their mentor and it would be that individual's responsibility then to bring that to their colleague and determine the best course of action.
Additionally, we could make it a standard to ward any task giving assignments to those we are giving it to, as well as to our colleagues within his Inner Circle. Very rarely would their be a situation where we are not all aware of His plans in a matter -- And in those few circumstances where such might occur, I believe we will all be understanding of the need for such discretion -- but this would assist in eliminating any such confusion and present a unified front to the Outer Circle, something I believe is very important.
