Once you develop a good correspondence and relationship with them, I don't see why you should have to reassign to anyone. One goal of having affiliates is to get them to trust and depend on you. If you are the initial sponsor, you should continue to develop them as friends in the business. Then, you can ask them how they feel about being reassigned. I would never do something even as seemingly harmless as reassigning an affiliate to anyone without the affiliate's input.
