Reword the paragraph in the rule “Departments” which begins “A proposal is a Promotion Proposal if…” as follows:

A proposal is a Promotion Proposal if and only if it is Titled “Requesting Promotions” and the text of the proposal is “Requesting Promotions for XXX” where XXX is a list of the names of one or more employees, which may not include the CEO. When a Promotion Proposal is Enacted, the Hierarchal rank of each Employee included in its list is increased by 1. A proposal is a Demotion Proposal if and only if it is Titled “Requesting Demotions” and the text of the proposal is “Requesting Demotions for XXX” where XXX is a list of the names of one or more employees, which may not include the CEO. When a Demotion Proposal is Enacted, the Hierarchal rank of each Employee included in its list is decreased by 1, to a minimum of 0.

If an Employee does not share a Department with any Employee whose name is mentioned in a given Promotion Proposal or a Demotion Proposal, then their vote on that Proposal is invalid. For the purpose of calculating the quorum for a Promotion Proposal or a Demotion Proposal, only the Employees whose votes would be valid are considered to be Employees.
