This is a compilation of responses, I received on my post about Scientology's communications terminology. This terminology is heavily used in KEFE's communications (with Denmark and the US) through the INCOMM Network. It is also used for other administrative functions. These terms are some of the ones used in KEFE communications (at least in the seized documents that I have or read)

---------- The 7 divisions of a non SO org are:
HCO
Dissem
Treasury
Tech
Qual
Public
Executive

Hubbard Executive Secretary. This post is over the divisions: HCO, Dissemination and Treasury.
HCO is Division 1, Dissem is Division 2 and Treasury is Division 3.
HCO stands for Hubbard Communication Office and is responsible for handling of recruitment, communication and ethics.
Dissem is responsible for getting existing scientologists into the org and on lines. They send out promotional mail and letters and handle people when the show up at the org.
Treasury has 3 sections: Income, Disbursements and Records Assets and Material (RAM).

From the bottom up here is the way the regular scientology orgs are positioned.
Missions
Class IV Orgs
Saint Hill Orgs
Advanced Orgs.
Flag

Each of the level of organizations supplied a different set of services. When the scientologist finished at one, they were supposed to naturally migrate up to the next level of organization.
Missions, prior to 1982, were primarily independant and run by people who, in exchange for being allowed to use Hubbards "tech", were supposedly obligated to provide a regular flow of people to the Class IV Orgs. There was always some services that could be given at either the Mission or Class IV orgs. Services consisted of basic courses, (HAS, HQS, Dianetic Auditor) and basic auditing (Dianetics). The definition of what can be given at a Mission vs a Class IV org has been redefined a number of times. After 1982, the Missions were put under much tighter control by SMI, a SO management bureau.
Class IV orgs could offer anything that a Mission could offer plus all auditing grades and training up to the Power Processes. (Power Processes may or may not now be offered by the Saint Hill (SH) Organizations and were the exclusive domain of the SH orgs). These services were essentially Dianetics and the Grades 0-IV both training and auditing. A auditor who completed all the training was known as a Class IV auditor (thus the name).
Saint Hill orgs offer the Saint Hill Special Briefing Course. Depending on current conditions, they offered the Power Processes and sometimes (depending on the current policies) they would offer the Clearing Course. A completion of the Briefing course was a Class VI auditor.
Advanced orgs offered the Clearing Course, and the advanced levels, OT 0 - VII. Offers training up to (as I recall) Class VIII.
Flag offers everything that any of the other orgs offers plus it delivers the most advanced training and auditing not available elsewhere such as the Class XII course and OT VIII auditing.
There is a SO management structure which I will confess I do not understand except in general terms. The top part of this apparently exists at GOLD, near Hemet in south of California, USA. From that position all administration flows. The CMO (Commodore's Messenger Org) is senior to the SO, but others say that CMO is a SO-type unit Flag units run the everyday management actions but these are run by WDC which is run by RTC. If it is all smooth, RTC stays with the flaps and doesn't bother with org management.All orgs above Missions must obey the SO command structure. Prior to 1982, Missions were very independant because they were corporately independant. It is obvious that the SMI management arm is managing Missions much more closely since then, but I do not know if the the Missions are still corporately independant.
