* Director roles

* Shares in the corporation

~~Take note that regardless of who initiated the lockdown process, the CEO will required for the final step.~~

The process involved three steps:

*1) A Lockdown vote is proposed

*2) 24h is allowed for shareholders to vote

*3) ~~The CEO sanctions~~ the ~~action if~~ the ~~vote passes.~~

*3) If the vote passed, the BPO is automatically locked down

===Step 1===

Right-click on a BPO, and select Propose Lockdown Vote. This option will only appear if you satisfy one of the three criteria mentioned earlier (CEO, Director or shareholders).

===Step 2===

Directors and shareholders will receive an eve-mail notifying them a vote has been initiated. The CEO and directors will need to navigate to the corporation window via the corp button. Then find the Politics tab, Votes, and Open Votes.

===Step 3===

~~After the 24h voting period has ended, the CEO will need to head to the Closed Votes tab, and sanction the vote for it to go into effect.~~

~~When this is done, the BPO is fully locked down, and can only be unlocked via another vote.~~

~~Note: The process of~~ voting has ~~never been very clear to me. As soon as you propose a lockdown~~ vote, the BPO will ~~lock instantaneously even before the voting period ends, and if a majority of people voted yes, it will remain~~ locked without the CEO ~~having to sanction it~~.

After the 24h voting period has ended, if the vote passed, then the BPO will be automatically locked down without any action needed by the CEO. When this is done, the BPO is fully locked down, and can only be unlocked via another vote.

The reverse however, is not true. If you initiate an Unlock vote, the vote will need to be favor of yes and the CEO will need to sanction the vote for the BPO to become unlocked. I am unaware whether this is a feature or a bug, but regardless of what it is, your BPO are secured and you don’t have to worry about a director going rogue and unlocking your BPO while you flew away to Barbados with your girlfriend for a week of hot lovemakin’ on the beach.
