Policy changed: Role Assignment Terms

Text changed:
  • Each role assignment made within this circle and all sub-circles must have a commission term specified along with the assignment, or, if not explicitly specified, shall automatically carry a commission term through the end of the calendar year in which the assignment was made (or the following calendar year if made within two months of year-end). Each role assignment shall automatically terminate and become unfilled at the end of the defined term, unless renewed by whatever role has authority to make such assignments. The initial commission term for all current role assignments as of the adoption of this policy shall be the end of the calendar year in which this policy was adopted.

    No one may remove a partner from a role in a circle more than one month before the end of a commission term, unless a Core or Tenured Partner @Tenured_Partner of the organization (other than the person initiating the removal) confirms that he/she would also make that change if in the relevant role.

    Resigning from a role in a circle before the end of a commission term shall require three months advance notice, unless otherwise agreed between the role-filler and whatever role has the authority to assign to that role.
