Citizenship Law Amendment
#311

Since the Administrator in the Council would naturally focus on more technical and less political aspects of the citizenship process, I think it would make sense not to subject them to a political confirmation process. That would again be falling into the whole politisation of the admins issue.

I think that would be more reasonable.

5.  The Cabinet may remove Citizenship from a nation who is found to be a Security Threat, preferably upon the recommendation of the Committee for State Security.  Citizens removed for being a Security Threat may appeal their removal to the Assembly which may reverse the removal by a 75% majority vote in favor.
6.  The CSS may, on behalf of the Citizenship Council, undertake an investigation into nations who have been denied citizenship or declared a security risk and report their finding to the Assembly.
7.  Citizens will be removed for not accumulating 2 posts per month.  The Citizenship Council will perform an activity check during the first week of each month and determine who did not meet the activity requirement in the previous calendar month.  Citizens may be awarded a Leave of Absence from the Citizenship Council in which case this requirement will be lifted for the duration of the leave.

Section 3 - Citizenship Council

1.  The Citizenship Council will be comprised of 3 members.
2.  1 member will be appointed by the Delegate, 1 member from the Committee for State Security will be appointed by said Committee, and 1 will be a member of the Forum Administration Staff appointed by said Administration Staff.  All members must be approved by a 75% majority vote of the Assembly in favor.
3.  Members of the Citizenship Council serve for a one year period unless they resign, are recalled, and/or they no longer hold Citizenship. Each year members of the Council may be changed following the appointment process as outlined.
4.  The Citizenship Council is responsible for maintaining a list of all Citizens.


Updated the removals check to occur in the first week.  I still would like to hear further discussion from those who haven't spoken up about the Assembly approval of the admin serving on the council before changing it.

Section 2, Clause 2, "may no apply for".

Thanks Henn, corrected that.  I still feel its a bit wordy so are there any recommendations about clarifying the text or on the amendment itself?

I believe that monthly checks was the most agreed upon item from the non-binding poll so its good to see that in there.

I don't understand why we would do monthly checks for resident nation that can be determined through a spreadsheet instantly.

Also the idea was for the member of the Council who is a forum admin to be doing checks for multis and really anyone can check for proxies on the Council. I don't like the re-addition of a separate clause for admin in 2.2.
#316

I'm not sure I know how the spreadsheet auto checks and I don't know if that happens now. 2.2 is unchanged from your previous draft, I believe.

Yeah. I thought I changed that in the last draft. Anyway this is more what I was thinking.

2.  Applicants may not use a proxy, may not attempt to avoid a forum ban, may not apply for Citizenship with multiple nations.  In the event an applicant is found to be in violation of any of the above their application will be denied and not subject to appeal.

""In the event an applicant is found to be in violation of any of the above the Citizenship Council their application will be denied and not subject to appeal."

Some rewriting may be in order?

Revised draft above.  Changed all voting percentages to 66% which I still believe to be a better margin.

Will there be any restrictions on being a part of the Cit Council and Cabinet/Justice/Local Council too?
