Craig L Russell edited comment on WHIMSY-323 at 5/27/20, 8:15 PM: ------------------------------------------------------------------ I now think that including secretary in the workflow for filing emeritus requests is the right approach. So here's how the process could work: Member decides to go emeritus. They either - go to the web site https://svn.apache.org/repos/private/foundation/emeritus-request.pdf, fill the emeritus form, print, sign, or sign electronically and email to secretary or - go to the web site roster/committer/__self__ click Member status and click (request emeritus status) Either of the above will send email to secretary to file. If Member decides to rescind their request, within 10 days they either - send secretary a message asking to rescind their request or - go to the web site (roster/committer/__self__ click Member status and click (rescind emeritus request) Either of the above will result in their emeritus request being rescinded. If an Emeritus Member decides they want to become active again, they should go to the web site roster/committer/__self__ click Member status and click (request reinstatement) This will send email to Secretary who will add the member to the next Members Meeting where they can be voted on. We should update the https://whimsy.apache.org/members/inactive.cgi page to have the above instructions included. And start the process of inviting inactive members to go emeritus long before the annual meeting. was (Author: clr): I now think that including secretary in the workflow for filing emeritus requests is the right approach.

The Bylaws say that 10 days after receiving an emeritus > request, the member should become emeritus unless the request is withdrawn. > Members should be able to file an emeritus request as easy as a proxy: go to > a web page, log in with member credentials, fill the form, send it. That same > page should also remember that an emeritus request was filed and give the > member the ability to withdraw the request (when the member returns to the > page, it looks up to see if there is already a pending emeritus request). So > the request should be put into a well-defined file, say > documents/emeritus-requests-received. When this is filed, a message should be > sent to secretary which will show up in the to-do secretary mail, and copied > to the member. There should be an attachment of the emeritus request that can > be verified as valid by secretary. > The subject of the email to secretary should make it clear that this email > was generated by the whimsy emeritus tool, e.g. subject: Your emeritus > request has been received > When the 10 day period is over, secretary can process the request by clicking > on the email. When the file, e.g. clr-emeritus.txt is clicked, the Categorize > menu will include the (o) Emeritus button which when clicked, displays a form > with: Member ID, Member Name, Date fields and (File) button. When the (File) > button is pressed, the svn commands to move the file from > documents/emeritus-requests-received to documents/emeritus; the update of the > members.txt to move the member to emeritus section and update the active > count, and email to the member with information how to be reinstated etc. > etc. > This same tool should also allow for processing of submitted signed > (holographic or gpg) emeritus requests. -- This message was sent by Atlassian Jira (v8.3.4#803005)
