In the event that this Constitution is adopted as the governance of the whole or part of an existing “Organization” the following terms would apply:
7.1 Ratifiers Cede Authority
By adopting this Constitution, the Ratifiers cede their authority to govern and run such Organization, or any part thereof, and may no longer do so except through authority granted to them under this Constitution.
However, as an exception to this rule, the Ratifiers may continue to hold and exercise any authority that they do not have the power to delegate, such as anything required by Guidelines outside of their control, or by any powers of such Organization in or for which they currently hold fiduciary duties. Any exceptions to this rule would be outlined in the Record as a relevant amendment and/or repeal to the Constitution.
7.2 Legacy Policies and Systems
Any existing policies, agreements or systems that such Organization has in effect before choosing to become a Sphere and adopting this Constitution may continue in full force after adoption. This may include compensation systems, hiring and firing processes, work-related policies, etc. Any existing policies, agreements or systems that continue in effect would be outlined in the Record as a relevant amendment and/or 39 repeal to the Constitution and / or any relevant Sphere Policies.
However, these legacy policies and systems will lose all weight and authority as soon as Governance is defined that replaces or contradicts them. In addition, they may not be modified or added to in their legacy form.
