Director General

The Director General of the International Digidestined Alliance is the Supreme Commander of all the world's Digidestined. The office's responsibilities involves planning the grand strategy of the IDA as well as appointing the Three Supreme Tactical Commanding Officers who report directly to the Director General and are deployed to lead specific missions.

The Director General must be nominated by a member of the Executive Council and unanimously approved by all five members of the Council. No sitting member of the Executive Council may also serve as Director General.

Only Taichi Kamiya has served as Director General. However, in his absence Izzy Izumi served as Director General posing as Tai. Later, Izzy was possessed by Daemon who served as the de facto Director General.

Prior to Tai's election as Director General, the Executive Council also considered Yamato Ishida, Koushiro Izumi, Sonja Sokolova, and Derek Dingo for the position.

In the midst of the Digidestined Civil War and the rebellion led by Mimi Tachikawa and Alistair Bure, then-IDA President Yuri Ivanov considered replacing Tai with Jacob McDonald or Joel Musa. Catherine Denevue argued against this move, arguing instead in favor of Yamato Ishida, Sora Takenouchi, or Jyou Kido. Catherine and Yuri's arguements eventually narrowed down the candidates to Matt or Jacob. However, Jacob, who was then serving as temporary leader of the American Digidestined on the Executive Council argued for postponing a replacement election until after a more appropriate time after at least all five members of the Five Powers served their term as President of the Executive Council.
