The current mapping is documented here:

I'll see if we can get the one for the new constitution put somewhere as
well.
I'm sad tos ee the Emeritus Role as an explicit role go away. The original
constitution intended this as a form of respect to show appreciation for
someone's past efforts. Now it seems it will simply display as 'expired'.
It's not really going away. The Emeritus Role applies to any ex-CC. The
database stores expired CC grants, so having it show that at some point in
the future is not a problem. I am not sure than needs to be displayed within
Auth, but there is no technical reason it couldn't be.
For the record, poll shows 7 EC's but any expired-CC grant, of which there
are several on poll, should be listed as an EC at this point, so poll is a
bit misleading in that regard.
Got it. Thank you for the explaination.
Note: in the current constitution, someone can resign from being a core
contributor and therefor move into the realm of Contributor Emeritus.
How is this handled in the new Auth App?
There is one role per person, per collective. You can become a CC without
being a C first, so an expiring grant for a CC in that case makes you an EC,
as described above. The Constitution is not clear if you should revert to a
C. A case where you are a C, then a CC, then have your grant expire may
result in you reverting back to a C, but I need to verify that.
I think you misunderstood the case I was talking about - and that's
resigning (vs expiration) of a CC grant. Is there a way to do
that in the new auth app?
