I'd like some feedback on this proposal. My objective in this project was and still is to allow members to easily if not trivially change their status to emeritus. A secondary objective is to make Secretary's work flow as easy as practical.
So, I'd like feedback specifically on having the (request emeritus status) button on the member's __self__ page to automatically file the request document in emeritus-requests-received and send notice to secretary. Secretary would not need to do anything until the 10 day rescission period has ended, at which point Secretary would use a tool to make the member emeritus. Tooling is not the important feedback request here. Anyone have an opinion?
