Quote:Article IV

5. All bills will be moved to a vote upon receiving a second by another legislator, should the Chair or their designated deputy determine that there has been sufficient debate on the issue. Debate must last for a minimum period of time equivalent to that proposed legislation will be at vote for.

6. The Chair or their designated deputy is responsible for the creation of a voting thread, and recording the votes. In the event that the Chair or their designated deputy does not or cannot perform their duties in a reasonable timeframe, any member of the Assembly may create a voting thread.

7. Should a debate lead to multiple competing bills on a single issue, the Chair will bring them to vote in a sequential order based upon which bill has the most seconding motions. Should any bill on the issue be adopted, the issue shall be considered settled and competing bills will not be brought to vote at that point in time.

Article XII

1. The Assembly may amend any provision of the Charter by a three-fifths supermajority, unless that provision sets a separate threshold. Amendments must be constitutional in nature, addressing the structure or framework of government. Bills that may exist as general laws, as determined by the Chair of the Assembly, should not be placed in the Charter.

2. Debate on Charter amendments will last for a minimum of two weeks, unless the Council on Regional Security acknowledges that the amendment addresses an immediate and perilous issue that threatens the security of the region. Any amendment that directly affects the game-side community or its home governance, as determined by the Chair of the Assembly, must also be debated and voted upon by the game-side community.

Above all else, I hope to be a decent person.

With 62 Aye votes, 17 Nay votes and 18 Abstentions, I can report that 78.5% of regional WA members support this legislation. As the Local Council Representative to the Assembly, I would like to assign the block vote in a proportional manner equivalent to this percentage.

Without factoring the LC vote this motion has received 17 AYES 6 NAYS and 3 Abstentions. Thus the vote received a vote of ~74% in favor.
The LC received 20% of 23 votes wich is equivalent to 4.6 votes. The LC Rep has indicated that 78.5% of that vote was to be casted in favor. That means that the new vote total is 20.611 AYES and 6.989 NAYS and 3 Abstentions.
So now with the power I have as Deputy Chair of the Assembly, I declare that the vote has passed with ~74.68% votes in favor exceeding the 60% threshold.

Above all else, I hope to be a decent person.
