Currently the law gives the Local Council plenary power to oversee the gameside community and run its affairs however it sees fit without interference from the Assembly, so I’m not sure how exactly you could one-up that.

I may not make much sense here kringly, but hopefully you'll get my drift...

The charter limits the LC:
to represent the interests of all players in the region,
moderate the Regional Message Board,
encourage activity on the gameside, and
administrate itself on issues unique to the in-game community.

It can't pass laws which are contrary to the Charter or other laws, and it cannot duplicate laws or introduce laws like a lower court as these would impinge on the charters existing laws.

The lc is further limited in its powers by requiring delegates approval on other matters.

Certain powers also exist within the MoC which further restrict the LC.

Therefore, IMO, the Charter and decisions of the Court in 2019 (NHC/Auphelia/CS) which restricted matters of self determination further. Limit the ability of the LC to function to its fullest, Despite this The criticisms I see, as Dry so eloquently puts it, is that (1) the LC moderation is an issue for the Assembly because that's their responsibility and (2) they're encouraging too much gameside activity and (3) administering itself in a way in which the Assembly doesn't like, or in terms of the introduction of a lower court, say, in a way the court doesn't like.

The move for Abolishing the LC is not because the LC js failing in their duties, but instead are actually succeeding in their duties in a way in which the Assembly doesn't like.

If we make a stronger LC, we can build on these successes, instead of the MoC,now.?n, MoM (now defunct), MoE, peing pulled into the gameside. If MoE, MoC, others are not required to oeperate gameside and stay forum/discord side athey don't need to be regional officers and those elements could see an stronger LC (with greater powers)
