CLAN TRIAL MEMBERSHIP

Clan Review Vote.  In no event shall a Clan Trial Member be promoted to full Clan Member status without obtaining a 70% or greater majority approval. A Clan Trial Member term will run a minimum of 30 days, after which time a Status Vote will be called.

Voluntary Vote. All 1ups eligible to vote may voluntarily cast a vote during the period a voting poll is open.

Time Limitations. Votes must be cast within five (5) days, unless otherwise designated in the official Status Vote poll.

First Status Vote. At the expiration of 30 days a Status Vote will be called with the following options:

    Yes            (Full Member)
    Continue    (Continue Trial)
    No             (Revoke Membership)

The vote requires 70% or greater (majority) to pass.
If the vote is "Yes", then the Clan Trial Member shall be promoted to full clan membership forthwith.
If the vote is "No", then the Clan Trial Member shall be removed from 1up Clan and the trial period shall terminate.
If the vote is "Continue" (or none of the voting options have 70%), then the Clan Trial Member shall continue the trial period and a second vote will take place 30 days thereafter (i.e., at the completion of a total of 60 days of trial membership).

Second Status Vote. At the expiration of 60 days a Status Vote will be called with the following options:

    Yes            (Full Member)
    Continue    (Continue Trial)
    No             (Revoke Membership)

The vote requires 70% or greater (majority) to pass.
If the vote is "Yes", then the Clan Trial Member shall be promoted to full clan membership forthwith.
If the vote is "No", then the Clan Trial Member shall be removed from 1up Clan and the trial period shall terminate.
If the vote is "Continue" (or none of the voting options have 70%), then the Clan Trial Member shall continue the trial period and a third vote will take place 25 days thereafter (i.e., at the completion of a total of 85 days of trial membership).

Third Status Vote. At the expiration of 85 days a Status Vote will be called with the following options:

    Yes            (Full Member)
    No             (Revoke Membership)

The vote requires 70% or greater (majority) to pass.
If the vote is "Yes", then the Clan Trial Member shall be promoted to full clan membership forthwith.
If the vote is "No", then the Clan Trial Member shall be removed from 1up Clan and the trial period shall terminate.
A trial member who does not receive 70% for "Full" shall be removed from 1up Clan and the trial period shall terminate.

Definitions:

The term "Clan Trial Member" means a 1up applicant who has been awarded the 1up tag and accepted into the 1up Clan on a probationary period. The probationary period runs a minimum of 30 days up to a maximum of 90 days. The term shall not apply to any person who has not been awarded the 1up clan tag.

The term "Status Vote" means the Clan Review Vote to determine whether a Clan Trial Member will be approved for full clan membership, continue in the trial process, or be denied full membership and removed from the clan.
