Well, I had intended to start practicing on the experimental board tomorrow, but that was when I was scheduled to start in August. I plan on getting over there tonight, so I’ll be starting early .
This was all very unexpected for me, and not the most ideal circumstances to start off with, but I will try to do my best to get caught up. I appreciate your patience.
As far as holby is concerned - I do recall him stating in the old ranger thread in the Business forum that he intended to fulfill his position starting in July. I think until we hear otherwise we should assume he still will. Otherwise, I think we should simply follow procedure. Looking through Article 5 there seem to be three things pertaining to this:
Grounds for Warnings to a Ranger:
• 1) Being absent from the board for more than 72 hours without notifying the other Rangers, except in personal emergency or computer failure.
Grounds for Formal Complaints against a Ranger:
• 2) Being absent from the board for more than two weeks and failing to notify the other Rangers in advance to arrange for a temporary Ranger.
Grounds for Removal of a Ranger:
• 1) Desertion: a Ranger who deserts the board and cannot be contacted for a period of 30 days should be removed from office.
I’m not sure how the procedure works for Warnings or Formal Complaints, but it seems as though we should wait 30 days before anyone can be removed for desertion.
Hopefully holby will respond to Eru's email.
ETA - If Areanor wants to start now, if she already has the training needed, if the other rangers feel she should go before me - I will have no problem standing aside for any of these reasons. Just let me know. In the meantime I’ll proceed as planned.
