I don't think we have high enough endorsements right now to do away with the limit ... right now. I think we can agree that's where we should go, but we need to ease into it ... since we have significantly less endorsements than TNP overall.

Second, re: the LC, I'm all for giving power to the in-game nations. But, we also have to see what is useful and what they'll use. (And, since we don't have a lot of RMB-only nations here ... it's hard to judge.)

That said, I'm with Bels in questioning the need for the LC. In the draft I pitched, I gave WA nations the power to vote for the delegate and also to have a direct say in anything that would change their responsibilities or powers.

Maybe we should reach out to the RMB to see how useful they feel the LC is?

There´s no room for half-assed experimentation with the endorsement-cap; either we do away with it, or we implement right away that ppl are not allowed to be close to the delegate for a certain amount of endorsements. otherwise it will never happen, because there are always ppl who´d say 'it´s not safe right now' just to postpone it forever.

That's not *exactly* what I'm saying — and certainly the intention isn't to postpone it forever.

It's somewhat just a matter of numbers. My endorsements — which are some of the highest of recent memory — are still only half of TNP's number (what this system is modeled after). Because my endorsements are so low, you can get half of my numbers with a good day/two of endotarding.

The CSS had been discussing raising the endocap by percentages of the delegate's total. The idea would be that we'd continue to raise it incrementally while the overall number of endorsements (i.e. WA members) rise — until we have a situation where it's not needed.

The inherent flaw of that train of thought is, to assume that the number of WA-Nation in TSP would continually rise. Which is under the actual conditions at which the Assembly operates rather delusional, to say the least. Therefore we actually have no ground to base a cap-increase on a percentage model.
