I'll be frank, the Commission on Procedure has been plagued with activity issues since day one due to the small roster of officials, and has devolved into an echo-chamber of sorts as there is no new perspective. I understand the frustration of Kris, Far, and many other members that the Commission could have gotten more done in the last 2 months as we actually started work late November, since it could be done. There was a holiday recess planned for Christmas and New Years as many of our small staff couldn't be online then, which didn't help as we were not transparent with many of our activities. For that I sincerely Apologize to the members of the Assembly.

I will talk with the CoA to increase our roster so that activity isn't an issue, as well as post a bi-weekly update much like the one getting flak to keep the region informed of our activities until we get a series of proposals done.

I will be happy to answer all questions.
With regards to Far's questions:
1. The decision to establish a "successor" was to act as a fail safe in the event that the Chair should CTE or be removed. We are still debating whether or not the acting chair will preside for the duration of the special elections or will preside over the remainder of their term. As well as how they will be selected/elected if they are to act as a "successor".

2. the code of conduct may or may not be relevant at this point in time, but when the region was highly toxic 2 years ago after the Constitutional Crisis Coup, there was the risk of admin/mod power abuse. We also do not want to take a page from other authoritarian game regions to which I'm sure you have encountered, and sought to mitigate some of the damage that may have occurred when the region is plunged into turmoil.

3. With regards to the "Supposed" meddling by the Assembly and Local Council, the risk was there. At least until the legislation was passed to clarify home rule. Furthermore, the risk of meddling is still there as the block vote is a substantial amount of power granted to the local council and can be used to pass through a contentious bill when the vote is close. There may also be times in the future where the assembly may draft legislation specifically targetting the Local council so that it eventually loses home-rule, and/or incorporated as a lower house in the assembly.

4. with regards to codifying the powers of the chair and deputy chair, we felt it was prudent to actually outline specific procedures so that the chair can better help guide Assembly debate into the creation of bills, as well as better maintain decorum and order.

5. With regard to our move into syntax and format, the reason we did so is to streamline our code of laws and allow new members of the assembly to understand the process and procedures of drafting laws in the assembly so that aside from the heavyweights such as yourself, Glen, Bel, and some others, newer users can participate in drafting legislation so it is still within our purpose of procedures.

We are lucky to have users like you (Farengeto), Belschaft, Glen (Sandaoguo), Tsunamy, Kris, Drugged Monkeys, Seraph, Roavin, Omega, Grif, and others. However, not all users are like you folks, and may abuse their powers, therefore the region must maintain some vigilance to prevent the next milograd, constitutional crisis, or coup.
