We will create a new script at members/emeritus.cgi that will use a file template [1] at a member-accessible location. This script will be linked from the Members whimsy page.
The script will have three entry points: Member in good standing Emeritus request has been submitted Emeritus Member Member in good standing: Emeritus status will be described, and a button enabled: (Prepare emeritus request) When the button is pressed, a window pops up with the Emeritus Request form filled from the member's information and the local timestamp (year-month-day hh:mm:ss <timezone> <+/- offset>) and at the bottom of the form two buttons: (Submit emeritus request) (Cancel) When cancel is pressed, the popup window disappears, and the original page redisplays. When submit is pressed: the filled form is filed under emeritus-requests-received email is sent to secretary with a copy of the form, cc: the member Emeritus request has been submitted: Information about the emeritus request (timestamp) is displayed, and a button enabled: (Rescind emeritus request) When rescind is pressed, a window pops up with the submitted Emeritus Request and at the bottom of the form two buttons: (Submit rescind request) (Dismiss) When dismiss is pressed, the popup window disappears and the original page displays. When submit is pressed: the file is moved to emeritus-request-rescinded email is sent to secretary stating that the request was rescinded, cc: the member the Member in good standing page displays. Emeritus Member: Emeritus status is described and a button displays: (Request reinstatement) When request is pressed, a window pops up with text stating that the members wishes to reinstate membership and two buttons: (Submit reinstatement request) (Dismiss) When dismiss is pressed, the Emeritus Member display is shown When submit is pressed, email is sent to secretary requesting reinstatement, cc: member. Comments? Craig [1] Emeritus Request Dear Apache Secretary, Please change my status to emeritus. This request will be effective ten days after receipt. Once effective, I understand that I will no longer be counted for quorum purposes at Members Meetings, and I will no longer be able to vote at Members Meetings. I understand that my privileges to review the foundation records and subscribe to members mail lists will continue. If I would like to become active again, I will send email to secret...@apache.org requesting reinstatement, and my request will be voted on at the next members meeting.
