What does this suggestion change/add/remove?
- Create a system of terms for all positions that are considered 'senior' level 4 and above. (SA/SC/Dpt. Chief/MTF COM)
- Applications for these positions will give you the positions for a guaranteed (asides from valid removal) 2 months, after which a member will reapply
- Applications will be posted on the CN forums where community feedback is provided
- Members will be allowed to apply against a member currently holding the position when their term ends, even if they intend to apply again
- Current holders will be grandfathered in and their terms beginning on the date of this being implemented if it were to be accepted
- When terms end the user would go back to whatever position they were before until they reapply and get accepted or denied
-
Possible Positives of the suggestion
- More competition for positions which will lead to more quality members obtaining positions
- Prevents people from obtaining a position, doing a lot for it in their first weeks and then becoming essentially a seat warmer by giving a deadline for their place
- Allows community feedback to be provided on RP leadership constantly via constant applications
-
Possible Negatives of the suggestion
- Strain on SL/NL to create regulations and policy
- People might like being able to be in a position permanently
- Radical policy change that people would have to get used to
-
Based on the Positives & Negatives, why should this suggestion be accepted?
I truly do believe that these changes will create a more positive loop in the leadership by forcing members to be thoughtful and create meaningful change to their departments at the risk of not getting the position in 2 months. The positives heavily outweigh the negatives and although many current leadership would dislike it, it creates an opportunity for new leaders of RP to introduce themselves.
