<p>A <b>dormant commission</b> is a <a href="page.php?w=Letters_patent">commission</a> in a <a href="page.php?w=Commonwealth_realm">Commonwealth realm</a> that lies dormant or sleeping until a particular event triggers it. A commission in this case means an appointment to a particular government office, which the reigning monarch of the nation typically makes, directed to a particular person, giving that person the ability and duty to exercise the powers of that office--or, in other words, 'commissioning' them into a role or an office.
