In plain language
Three housekeeping powers over lists, and the third has real consequences. The Commission provides for establishing and canceling eligible lists, for certifying a list to positions in other appropriate titles, and for consolidating lists, which may include combining the names of eligibles by score. Consolidation is how two separate examinations end up producing one ranked order, and where an eligible sits after it is not something they can work out from their own examination result alone.
