If members of the gameside community would like to get involved with the Great Council, they can register in this thread here created by the Chair, in accordance with the organizing resolution. There's nothing stopping them from doing so. I personally don't see the point of calling a gameside referendum for this.

That being said, I would be interested in seeing what Jebediah proposes as an amendment to the resolution in this regard, in a seperate thread from this.

A consistent set of principles underpinning this Great Council will hopefully lead to more constructive debate and better-quality outputs. Some of the issues listed above read like a list of individual hobby-horses rather than a coherent set of proposals to resolve the problems identified in the convening resolution.

I actually like the current system we're following right now, as it would allow for more flexibility and openness when considering we want to do and not feel like we're being railroaded into solving specific things. There's no guarantee that setting a specific list of issues that we want to tackle is going to lead to "more constructive debate and better-quality outputs", as you put it.

This is meant to be an open convention to discuss the state of our region and what we can do to improve things. I think putting unnecessary constraints on ourselves would be the antithesis of the atmosphere we want to foster here.
