Amendment to Article 1 of the Charter - Farengeto - 04-19-2014
I noticed during my term as CJ that the Charter does not include multiple nations as a reason for rejection of citizenship. At the time Hile rejected the issue with the whole admin power issue, but I feel this should be revisited and put in indisputable writing.
I therefore propose we modify Article 1 to include the following
Quote:Article 1: Citizenship and Regulations of Citizenship
Section 1 - Eligibility
1. All nations resident in the region The South Pacific may apply for Citizenship in the Coalition.
2. All Citizens, in order to ensure to all the rights and benefits resulting from such, shall fulfill in good faith the obligations assumed by them in accordance with the present charter and Code of Laws.
3. All nations wishing to obtain Citizenship must accept and abide by the terms and provisions of the Charter, declare their current nation residing in The South Pacific, current nation which holds membership in the World Assembly, and all regions and organizations in which the applicant is or has been involved with.
4. A Citizen may not apply for Citizenship with more than one nation.
Section 2 - Acceptance and Removal
1. Citizenship applications will be reviewed by the Vice Delegate.
2. Upon review the applicant may be either conditionally approved or denied by the Vice Delegate.
3. Upon the applicant being conditionally approved the forum administration staff will conduct a security check to ensure the applicant is not using a proxy, is not trying to avoid a forum ban, and is not a citizen using a different nation. In the event that an applicant is found to be using a proxy, attempting to avoid a forum ban, or applying for citizenship on multiple nations their application will be denied and not subject to appeal.
4. In the event that an applicant is denied the reason for denial must be disclosed by the Vice Delegate. The applicant may appeal their denial to the Assembly which may reverse the denial by a 75% majority vote in favor.
5. If a Citizen no longer has a resident nation their citizenship will be immediately removed by the Vice Delegate.
6. Citizenship may be removed by a majority vote of the Cabinet if a nation is found to be a security threat. Citizens removed for being a security threat may appeal to the Assembly which may reverse the removal by a 75% majority vote in favor.
7. Citizenship will be removed if a nation has not logged into the South Pacific forums for more than 30 days and made two posts within that period.
8. Citizens may request a leave of absence from the Vice Delegate.

This was definitely an issue the last two terms. I think we can agree that someone trying to gain citizenship for more then one nation is problematic.

Completely support

The formatting in Section 2 isn't correct/consistent with the rest of the Charter, but aside from that I have no issues.

I wasn't quite sure what the best way to format it was. I'll try a format more consistent.

I don’t want to rush this, but is there anything to add before we motion this to vote?
RE: Amendment to Article 1 of the Charter - Rebeltopia - 04-21-2014
I like it. The only thing I may have to add is that Im not a fan of the wording of Section 2.3 ... I think the below is easier understood:
Quote:3. Upon the applicant being conditionally approved the forum administration staff will conduct a security check to ensure the applicant is not using a proxy, is not trying to avoid a forum ban currently a banned user, and is not a citizen using a different nation. In the event that an applicant is found to be using a proxy, attempting to avoid a forum ban, or applying for citizenship on multiple nations their application will be denied and not subject to appeal.
RE: Amendment to Article 1 of the Charter - Farengeto - 04-21-2014
That's actually the current wording in the charter, but I don't see why we can't just throw it in anyway.
RE: Amendment to Article 1 of the Charter - God-Emperor - 04-22-2014
Neither do I, while we're at it...
