-Whereas we acknowledge the need for a consistent, unified creative
-vision, the undersigned agree to establish the office of Project
-Director as defined by the [terms](#terms) of this document.
-
-# Terms
-
-## Scope
-
-1. A Project Director is the creative director of a single project, and
-   not necessarily any other projects.
-
-2. Each project may have no more than one creative director. A project
-   need not have a creative director.
-
-3. A Project Director may only be [elected](#election) as defined here.
-
-4. A Project Director's [role](#role) only applies to the project
-   which they direct. Likewise, a Project Director is only beholden to
-   the creative body of the project which they direct.
-
-5. The creative body of a project is the subset of members of the
-   Intrusive Thoughts collective who have agreed to work on the given
-   project.
-
-6. A "project" here refers to a single game (or other piece of media) in
-   development. A game and its sequel are considered two different
-   projects.
-
-## Role
-
-1. A Project Director makes decisions about the creative direction of
-   the project which they direct. All members of the creative body are
-   asked to abide by the creative decisions made by the Project
-   Director.
-
-2. While other members of the creative body will naturally make
-   creative decisions about the project in the course of their work,
-   any such decision may be overruled by the Project Director.
-
-3. The creative body may collectively reject any decision made by the
-   Project Director with a two-thirds supermajority veto.
-
-
-## Election
-
-1. Any member of the creative body may call for the election of a
-   Project Director at any time when the project has no acting Project
-   Director.
-
-   1. After an election for Project Director is held, another election
-      may not be called for a period of three weeks, or until the
-      office has been vacated, whichever comes first.
-
-2. The election shall use
-   [ranked-choice voting with instant runoff](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Instant-runoff_voting),
-   using an online platform so that every member of the creative body
-   may cast their vote regardless of physical location.
-
-   1. We suggest using [RCV123](https://www.rcv123.org/election/open/create/1)
-      with the following configuration:
-      - Duplicate Vote Deterrence is ON
-      - Randomize candidate ballot order
-      - Start voting: when voters receive link
-      - End voting: election remains open
-
-3. The election ballot shall be titled "Vote for the Director of
-   [project]" where [project] is the name or temporary name of the
-   project.
-
-4. The candidates on the election ballot shall be the names of each
-   member of the project's creative body, plus an additional option of
-   "None" to indicate the preference that the office remain unfilled.
-
-5. The link to the election ballot shall immediately be posted to the
-   *#announcements* Discord channel.
-
-6. 48 hours after the ballot is made public, if at least 50% of the
-   creative body has voted in the election, then the winning candidate
-   shall immediately assume the office of Project Director.
-
-## Abdication
-
-1. A Project Director may choose to abdicate the position of Project
-   Director at any time, for any reason, including no reason, by
-   posting a message in the *#announcements* channel announcing that
-   they are abdicating the position, after which the position of
-   Project Director shall immediately be considered vacated.
-
-2. A Project Director shall automatically abdicate the position of
-   Project Director upon leaving (or being removed from) the project's
-   creative body and/or the Intrusive Thoughts collective.
-
-## Recall
-
-1. Any member of the creative body may call for the recall of the
-   acting Project Director at any time.
-
-   1. After holding a recall vote for an acting Project Director,
-      another recall vote for that same Project Director may not be
-      called for a period of one week.
-
-2. The recall vote shall be a simple majority poll with two options,
-   using an online platform so that every member of the creative body
-   may cast their vote regardless of physical location.
-
-   1. We suggest simply creating a poll in the *#announcements*
-      Discord channel with the following configuration:
-      - Poll duration: 48 hours
-      - Do NOT allow multiple answers.
-
-3. The poll's title shall be "Should [director] be recalled as
-   Director of [project]?" where [director] is the name of the acting
-   Project Director in question and [project] is the name of the
-   project.
-
-4. The poll's options shall be "Yes, they should not be Director" and
-   "No, they should continue being Director". (Pronouns may be changed
-   to respect the director in question)
-
-5. The link to the poll (or the poll itself) shall immediately be
-   posted to the *#announcements* Discord channel.
-
-6. 48 hours after the poll is made public, if at least 60% of the
-   creative body (not just the voting body) has voted "Yes, they
-   should not be Director", then the acting Project Director in
-   question shall be immediately recalled and the position of Project
-   Director shall be considered vacated.
