At least if you are one of those employees.  You should know that there
is a significant fraction of the current residents of the ICC that feel
that our staff members are untouchables and aren't accountable to the
membership.  Please note that Brian Nagorsky, who sent one of the responses
to the original posting, is currently one of the paid staff members.
Hardly an objective opinion.

If you intend to use these contracts as a model, I strongly suggest you
add written, quantifiable performance requirements; yearly, public
performance appraisals; and short contracts, with renewal dependent
upon the ratings received in these appraisals.  This will only guarantee
you that if you get a bad apple, you aren't stuck with them for life.

Note that the above mention of Brian Nagorsky is not intended to imply
that he is a problem.  He's one of the few paid staff members that no
one is griping about.
