In every well-organized Foreign Office there is an important officer called the Chief of Protocol who decides matters relating to the rules of diplomatic and state etiquette and ceremony. He briefs newly-arrived ambassadors-designate on procedures regarding the presentation of credentials and related matters. He is consulted by members of the diplomatic corps on questions regarding precedence, correct procedure, formalities at official ceremonies, courtesies, seating arrangements at dinner, dress and the like. He is the arbiter of ceremonial usage and local custom. His decisions on unofficial matters are not binding but they are generally followed.
