General Company Governance Meeting of Dec 2, 2012, 6:17pm – HolacracyOne

Held on: December 2, 2012, 6:17pm
Secretary: Brian Robertson

Policy removed:

Whenever a Role creates work product for which HolacracyOne would otherwise hold intellectual property (IP) rights, the Role which created that work product shall automatically be considered to hold an implicit Scope covering the created IP, unless: (a) the IP unambiguously falls within a governance-defined Scope of another Role, in which case such other Role shall hold such rights, or (b) the IP was created as a service to another Role via such other Role engaging a Service Accountability of the creating Role, in which case such rights shall cede to the Role triggering such creation, or (c) the creation happened via Individual Action outside of a Role, or by a Role which no longer exists, in which case such rights shall cede to the Circle from which such creation happened and be held by the Lead Link of such Circle unless or until further differentiated or transferred. This implicit Scope may be explicitly transferred to another Role outside of governance by a decision, communicated in writing to the target of such transfer, made by whichever Role then-currently holds such implicit Scope; provided, however, that for a transfer outside of the Circle containing the Role so transferring, approval must also be given, in writing, by the Lead Link of such Circle, and, if such Circle does not hold an explicit Scope clearly covering such IP, then by such Circle's Super-Circle's Lead Link, recursively.
