I submit the following proposal: { Title: Vacations AI: 3 Author: nix Co-Author(s): Janet, 4st, Yachay, G., juan, Murphy
[This proposal adds Vacations and Delegation, which encourage officers to take time off and give the responsibility to someone else for a while. Not only is this intended to reduce burnout for officers, but it is also intended to be an opportunity for other players to learn an office without fully committing to it.] Amend R2438 by replacing "Cyan (C): When a person deputises for an office" with "Cyan (C): When a person deputises for an office or is the delegate for an office while its holder is on vacation." Enact a new Power=3 rule titled "Vacations & Delegation" with the following text: Delegate is an Office switch with possible values of "None" and any active player, and default value of "None". Delegates are tracked by the ADoP in eir weekly report. A player CAN flip the Delegate switch of a specified office to emself with Agoran Consent. If the Delegate switch of an office is set to "None", the holder of that office CAN flip the Delegate switch of that office to a specified player with notice. An officer CAN and SHOULD take a Vacation from a specified office e has continuously held for over 6 months with 7 day notice, if e has not done so in the last year. When an officer qualifies for a Vacation, the ADoP SHOULD encourage em to take one, at least once a quarter. An officer is On Vacation from a specified office if e has taken a Vacation from that office in the last 30 days. The list of officers currently on vacation is part of the ADoP's report. While the holder of an office is On Vacation, the Delegate of that office can act as if e is the holder of the Office. Rules to the contrary notwithstanding, while an officer is On Vacation that officer NEED NOT comply with any duties of that office, and the Delegate, if any, SHALL comply with all duties of the office as if e held the office. } -- nix
