I submit the following proposal:
{{{
Title: Vacations v2
Adoption Index: 3.0
Author: snail
Co-authors: nix, 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.
Snail's note: edited to reduce the ability to abuse the system, delegates
are now opt-in only, so players can't be forced to be a delegate. Also
further specified the deputization-like acting as an officer a delegate
does.]
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 Delegatable player, and default value of "None". Delegates are
tracked by the ADoP in eir weekly report. Delegatable is a negative
boolean player switch tracked by the ADoP. A player CAN flip their
Delegatable switch to True or False by announcement.
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 perform an action ordinarily reserved for the office-holder
as if e held the office, if it would be POSSIBLE for the Delegate to
perform the action, other than by this method, if e held 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.
