I'd like to discuss how to integrate secretary workbench with the roster 
emeritus process that now is in production.

To recap: members who wish to go emeritus either 

- navigate to the documents site, download, print, sign, scan, and email an 
emeritus request to secretary or 
-navigate to roster __self__ page, double click Member status, and click 
(request emeritus status) or
- send email to secretary stating that they no longer have access to foundation 
records and wish to go emeritus

The above results in a file being placed in 
documents/emeritus-requests-received which pends for 10 days.

After 10 days, secretary navigates to roster/memberid, verifies that there is a 
valid emeritus request, double clicks on Member status and clicks (move to 
emeritus).

While the above is ok, it might be useful for secretary to be able easily to 
tell that there is an emeritus request pending. So I'm proposing a change to 
workbench.

High level view: the index page, in addition to displaying incoming messages, 
also displays emeritus requests that are pending. The request could be 
formatted thus:
Timestamp         From                Subject
<date of request> Full Name of Member <date of 10 days later>

The <date of request> would be a link to roster/memberid that would display a 
new page, not the workbench page. The request could be displayed the next time 
workbench is refreshed following receipt of the request, or could be displayed 
only after 10 days have elapsed. The message.status would indicate the 
"message" is an emeritus-request-not-ready-for-processing or 
emeritus-request-ready-for-processing with an appropriate visual cue.

There is enough information available from svn to calculate the dates:
%svn list --verbose emeritus-requests-received/clr.txt 
56601 clr              4413 Jul 10  2020 clr.txt
Timestamp         From                Subject
Jul 10 2020       Craig L Russell     emeritus rescission period ends Jul 20 
2020


After secretary processes the request, closing the window would return to the 
secretary workbench. 

WDYT?
