( And this one not actually as important but I figured I would bring it up anyway ) is by abolishing the Local Council, you would completely render the Deputy Council useless.

The Deputy Council doesn't do much already. Name one thing a DC does.

I see where your coming from and I can agree, but…
When done right a Deputy Council can be quite effective. Take Trivalve, he/she was pretty good, and now there a LC
Also as to what they do, well basically they ping the LCs when needed, sure any of us can do that but it’s still nice that they volunteer to do it.

The deputy council has only existed for a couple of months.

I'd much rather see the deputy council abolished and instead have them be an informal group of well-established and respected nations who "warn" newer nations and rulebreakers that they need to "cut it out", cause it's not "funny, cute, or tolerated" and that they probably won't be in the region (or even the game) if they keep it up much longer.

imo, any "Deputy" to the "Council" doesn't have to be legislated - especially not in the Charter - and can instead by created/abolished/regulated at the discretion of the main group

DC’s were created with the idea both as people that can help, and could be involved in the LC discussions to get an idea of how to do the job, and to help lead activities. There’s no set amount of them.

Then let’s create an army of DCs, that way no spammers will ever think of spamming are glorious RMB

Chapter V of the Charter needs to be reformed almost completely.

Quote:V. THE LOCAL COUNCIL

Establishing home rule for the in-game rules for the region residents.

(1) The Local Council will be the local government of the in-game community, composed of three or more residents of the South Pacific, and will represent the interests of all players in the region, moderate the Regional Message Board, encourage activity on the gameside, and administrate itself (I recommend administered by The Delegate/MoC recommendations) on issues unique to the in-game community.

(2) The Local Council is entitled to self-administration within its jurisdiction on local issues, but may not pass laws or regulations that contradict this Charter or constitutional laws passed by the Assembly. To that end, the Assembly may not enact any law, nor the Cabinet deliver any directive, that is solely related to an issue local to the in-game community, except as done under the terms of this Charter. (jurisdiction removed, passing laws and regulations removed and transferred to the the South Pacific moderation and administration staff members)

(3) The Local Council may not be denied the authority to run regional polls, create and pin Dispatches, and to suppress messages on the Regional Message Board according to a standard moderation policy. (Dispatched should be under the Cabinet's or the Delegate's discretion, whereas moderation under the TSP moderation and administration staff) However, it may not alter the regional flags or tags, and may not send out mass telegrams, without the approval of the Delegate.

(4) To help promote inter-governmental relations, the Local Council may send a representative to the Assembly whose term must not exceed the Local Council’s. The method of selection will be decided by the Local Council. I think this has already been abandoned but I may be incorrect.

What are the main differences that you aim to address as opposed to the HumanSanity' proposal?

It won't. If the LC does get abolished, then the "two terms LC" option will just be removed.
