Recall Mechanism
In TogetherOS, any coordinator can be recalled (removed from their role) by the community at any time.
Why Recall Matters
Traditional organizations make it hard to remove leaders:
- Long terms with no exit
- Complex procedures that favor incumbents
- Social pressure against "rocking the boat"
TogetherOS flips this: recall is a normal, expected mechanism, not a crisis.
How Recall Works
Automatic Warnings
The system flags coordinators when:
- 3+ initiatives past deadline
- Average completion time >2x group average
- 2+ delivery reports rejected
- Negative feedback from 5+ members
Recall Process
- Any member can initiate recall with evidence
- Community deliberates (7-day discussion period)
- Vote conducted (simple majority)
- If approved: Role revoked, tasks reassigned
- Cooldown: Cannot reapply for same role for 6 months
Not Punishment, but Accountability
Recall isn't about punishment. It's about:
- Ensuring roles are filled by people who can fulfill them
- Preventing entrenchment
- Maintaining community trust
- Allowing graceful transitions
A recalled coordinator can continue contributing in other ways. They just step back from that particular coordination role.
Corruption-Proof
Because recall is easy:
- Corrupted coordinators are quickly removed
- Threats against coordinators are meaningless (another takes their place)
- External entities can't "capture" leadership
This is why TogetherOS is corruption-proof by design.
