Policy removed: Cash Prioritizations

Policy removed:
  • If we can't honor all cash outlay commitments in a given timeframe, HolacracyOne shall prioritize cash outlays first towards the basic survival of the organization, then in order of decreasing levels of harm caused to parties outside of HolacracyOne (such that those for whom a missed payment would cause more harm are paid before those for whom it would cause less harm), and then, within a given tier of harm, in order of HolacracyOne's preferences for meeting its goals.
