In Canadian football, the title of commissioner dates back to the 1940s at the latest. Like many of the NFL`s rivals south of the border, Canada`s top football leagues (the Interprovincial Rugby Football Union and the Western Interprovincial Football Union) have appointed commissioners to assert their leagues` independence from the NFL commissioner. When the two leagues formed an umbrella organization (the Canadian Football Council) in 1956, the positions of IRFU Commissioner and WIFU Commissioner were abolished and former WIFU Commissioner Sydney Halter was appointed CFC Commissioner. When the CFC became the modern Canadian Football League in 1958, Halter remained the league`s first commissioner.

As part of his mandate as a temporary judge, the Commissioner does not receive any remuneration other than remuneration as Commissioner. Until 1968, federal courts appointed commissioners who performed routine judicial tasks such as witness testimony, bail, and even enforcing laws such as the Fugitive Slave Act. These commissioners were replaced by judges from the United States. The National Basketball Association followed suit, appointing a commissioner in 1967, largely in response to a rival league that began operations that year.[5] The ABA did not recognize the authority of the NBA commissioner and maintained its own commissioner`s office until its merger with the NBA in 1976. The National Hockey League did not follow suit when the rival World Hockey Association began playing, as then-NHL president Clarence Campbell, who was openly hostile to the existence of the WHA, made it clear that he was not interested in changing his own title. The NHL finally appointed a commissioner in 1993 (long after the merger with the WHA) when incumbent Gary Bettman took office. Major League Soccer appointed a commissioner when it was founded later that year.
COMMISSIONER, officer. Someone who has a legitimate commission to hold public office. In a narrower sense, it is someone who is authorized to execute. A special duty, as, Commissioner of Revenue, Commissioner of the Canal. The term, when used in the latter sense, does not apply to a judge, for example. There are also commissioners who do not have regular assignments and draw their author from the people`s elections. County commissioners in Pennsylvania are officers of the latter type. After Tannu Tuva (ethnic Mongolian) was declared a Russian “protected area” (Uryanhay [Urjanhaj] kray) on April 17, 1914, two subsequent Russian commissioners for Urjanhai Krai affairs (1914-1915 A.P. Cererin (Tsererin) and 1915-1917 Yu.V. Grigoryev) were appointed alongside the last indigenous tribal leader (title Ambyn-noyon), followed by a single commissar of the provisional government (October 1917 – March 16, 1918 Alexei Alexandrovich Turchaninov), until the Tsarist regime finally collapsed and gave way to the Soviet regime.
In California, judicial commissioners are subordinate officials who are granted many of the same powers as judges. But not all. A commissioner (commonly abbreviated as Comm`r) is essentially a member of a commission or a person who has been assigned a commission (official task or authority to do something). In police services in the Commonwealth of the United Nations and the United States, the title of commissioner generally refers to the head of an entire police force. A UN commissioner appointed in 1949 oversaw the transition of the trust territory from Libya (a former Italian colony; in fact, Tripolitania and Cyrenaica were each under a British administrator, renamed Resident in 1949, Fezzan under a French military governor, 1950 also renamed Resident) to independence as a united monarchy in 1951. In many cases, the term Commissioner is part of a more specific title, including English interpretations of those titles in other languages. Examples (in some cases, there are other links) include: In Minnesota, Alaska, New York, and Tennessee, heads of cabinet departments statewide are called “commissioners.” In the Commonwealth of Nations Fire Service, the title Commissioner generally refers to the chief of an entire fire service in a particular jurisdiction, such as the New South Wales Rural Fire Service Commissioner or the New South Wales Fire and Rescue Commissioner, two separate fire departments operating in the Australian state of New South Wales. The title Commissioner or District Commissioner as such has been used by the Chief British Official in: In general, the powers and responsibilities of NFL, NBA, and NHL commissioners do not differ significantly from those of presidents who preceded them. Although subsequent baseball commissioners did not have the absolute power that Landis had, former commissioner Bud Selig managed to centralize authority over Major League Baseball in the commissioner`s office, demote the position of league president to an honorary title, and give baseball commissioners powers similar to those of his counterparts in other major sports.

A high commissioner is equivalent to an ambassador, originally between the United Kingdom and the Dominions and now between all Commonwealth states, whether they are Commonwealth realms, republics or countries with a monarch other than that of the realms. This title is sometimes given to senior public servants in the private sector; For example, many North American sports leagues. In many U.S. states, county legislative and executive decision-making bodies are called the Board of Commissioners or County Commission.

Overall, it must be decided on a case-by-case basis whether a judge or member would be better suited to a particular case, as judges and commissioners have their own areas of expertise. In many North American sports leagues, including almost all professional leagues, the commissioner holds the most senior executive position within the homeowners association. The exact powers of the commissioner depend on the Constitution and/or rules of the League and are invariably limited by state and federal laws and collective agreements. Commissioners are elected by the owners of the league clubs or the board of directors/governors and act as executive directors of the various owners` associations, which call themselves leagues, dealing with issues such as discipline, settlement of disputes between clubs, etc. in the interest of the owners. Bailiffs = 135 official judges, 19 official commissioners Canada refers to its government officials responsible for export promotion as “trade commissioners”.
There are 150 Canadian Trade Commissioner Service offices in Canada and abroad, and they “assist with export advice and guidance to help [Canadians] achieve [their] international trade objectives.” The Canadian Trade Commissioner Service website uses the Internet domain www.tradecommissioner.gc.ca. The title was first used in 1920, when Kenesaw Mountain Landis was appointed commissioner of baseball following the Black Sox scandal.[6] Landis was referred to as a “commissioner,” in part to distinguish his office from that of “president” of the American and national leagues. Landis` title derives from the National Commission, baseball`s governing body founded in 1903 when the two leagues were largely autonomous organizations.
