As per my campaign for Chair, I plan to regularly have group review sessions focusing on various sections of the Charter and Code of Laws to try to improve these. The first of these is focused on Article 10 of the Charter: Forum and Forum Administration. With the current issues we are having with x10, it is probably a good time to look at this section, especially with talk of switching hosts.

The current version of Article 10 is as follows:

Article 10: Forum and Forum Administration


1. The Coalition's official Regional Forum is located at http://thesouthpacific.x10.mx/index.php.
2. Should the Regional Forum cease to exist or otherwise become permanently unavailable then the Cabinet is authorized to establish a replacement Regional Forum.
3. Barring circumstances outlined in Section 2 the Assembly reserves the sole right to authorize the creation of a new Regional Forum.
4. The Regional Forum is administrated by the Admin Team and moderated by the Moderation Team.
5. The Admin Team must create both Administrative Procedures and Moderation Policies and present them to the Assembly for discussion and feedback.
6. Any proposed alterations to the Administrative Procedures or Moderation Policies may not be implemented until a minimum of seven days after such presentation.
7. The Moderation Team will be responsible for enforcing the Moderation Policies.

As part of this review I would like everyone to consider each clause in depth. The following questions may give you a starting point of some things you may want to consider:

• Does each clause make sense? Is it really necessary to be included?
  
• If XXX situation happens, is this covered sufficiently with this Article? If not, do we need to add a clause?
  
• Does a clause contradict with another part of the Charter/Code? How can this be remedied?
  
• Does a clause need clarification due to being too vague or ambiguous? Can the clause be simplified and have the same intent?
  

I do expect there to be disagreements between people in these threads, which is fine, but keep it civil. I won't hesitate to delete posts if you get too far out of line - there is no need to do so (as has happened often previously).

Remember the purpose of these reviews is to improve the legislation for the good of everyone, not just to get your own way at any cost. The aim of this review is to create an improved version of this Article, a version which has a reasonable level of consensus, and which stands a good chance of passing a vote at the end. 

Feel free to add anything to the discussion, no matter how minor you think it may be. Too often in the past legislation has been dominated by 1 or 2 individuals. We should get a much better result with a collaborative effort, so any contribution, no matter how minor is appreciated. 

Just as a side note with this particular Article: this review is NOT for determining if we stay with the current site or relocate elsewhere. Do not try to argue that here, we have another thread already on this, and I will move any posts on that to the thread HERE.
