The OP's justification for calling a Great Council don't hold up to closer scrutiny. I'll get into a few of those below, but TL;DR:

• The resolution's view on Great Councils is entirely ahistorical
  
• One of the resolution's justifications is a blatant falsehood
  
• There are several other problems with the resolution as well

The current Charter was primarily drafted by Sandaoguo, who is the sitting Minister of Foreign Affairs serving under the Prime Ministership of the very author of this resolution!

But the Charter of 2016 is not what we have today. It has been extended, modified, and adapted over time, using its built-in mechanisms of doing so. The 2016 Charter established a framework for governance plus a process for changing it to suit South Pacifican needs without needing to throw out the baby with the bathwater, which what the author is proposing.

The resolution does mention the problem with gameside vs forumside communities, and that is a legitimate criticism of the current system (and personally, I think the Local Council in this form is a failed experiment we should have gotten rid of a long time ago). But that covers one aspect of many that the Charter provides for - courts, legislature, cabinet, security system, citizen rights, etc.. When a car tire is broken, you replace the tire and not the entire car.

This is entirely and utterly ahistorical.

• The Great Council of 2012 was called in response to inactivity and extant problems in the judicial system. It was called not to rewrite all laws, but explicitly to fix aspects thereof.
  
• The Great Council of 2013 was called to clean up the clutter of extant laws, not to rewrite everything.
  
• The January 2015 Great Council was specifically about game-side rights and involvement
  
• The Second Great Council of 2015 was also called with just a few specific topics in mind
  

The big one is the 2016 Great Council, and this one was called for different reasons: TSP had just recovered from an autocoup, with high tensions, and decided to start over completely. In this case you're right, but that was also in a way the worst one: Inactivity at that time was as bad as it hadn't been for years, many people left or got disinterested, most newer people weren't getting sufficiently engaged with (I had to beg and plead to be accepted as citizen), etc. - in other words, it was an absolute shitshow. The Charter that resulted was good, but the process was many months of pain.

Whatever you feel is bad about TSP right now, calling a GC to rewrite everything will be worse. Period.

If you want to get rid of the Local Council (and I would agree with that notion), then put in the work of writing drafts, discussing, negotiating, canvassing etc. rather than just plunging the region into months of darkness.

I could not disagree more with this resolution.
