Yes. My only comment on this would be that in a rotational workplace, like the one foreign service officers experience, there would probably be merit in extending that period a little bit longer. Institutional memory does tend to die fairly quickly and fairly hard, unfortunately, within our departments, especially for positions that are filled by rotational officers. So extending that period would, I suppose, enable that record to be on file a little bit longer so that the memory isn't lost.
However, I spoke earlier about corridor reputation, and of course that swings both ways. In my discussions with some of my female colleagues, they have confirmed to me that there is always an informal, unwritten list of individuals circulating. I'm sure it's the same in any workplace, but it's particularly important in the foreign service, where you're changing jobs every two to three years. You may suddenly end up in a position and you were not warned or did not have information on the manager, the colleague, the co-worker, or the subordinate that would have helped you make a more informed decision so that you weren't putting yourself in an uncomfortable situation.
