Citizenship Law Amendment
#321

I believe this would fall under current restrictions for holding only 1 office but would have to read through the laws again.
#322

The CoL specifies which offices fall under that restriction. It doesn't offer a blanket ban over multiple office holding.

*Puts imaginary reading glasses*

A citizenship council? Wait, if they can't see the posts as admins can, or they can't see the last time a person logged in if they have it hidden, then why have it? The current admin system is better. They are all-seeing. But a citizenship council are not admins. They are non-admin people! They can't check for posts or see the last log in on hidden log in people like admins.

No. Just no. Since there is no section of the law that forces admins to share info with the proposed citizenship council, then no.

But it's entirely legal to propose something like that.
#325

Well, here's my version:

Section 2 - Acceptance and Removal
1. Citizenship applications will be reviewed by the Citizenship Council.
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 that an applicant is found to be in violation of any of the above their application will be denied and not subject to an appeal.
3.  The Citizenship Council will decide whether to admit or deny the application.  In the event that an applicant is denied the reason for denial must be disclosed by the Citizenship Council. The applicant may appeal their denial to the Assembly which may reverse the denial by a 66% 75% majority vote in favor.
4. If a Citizen no longer has a resident nation their citizenship will be removed by the Citizenship Council during the next monthly check.
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 66% 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. The Forum Administration Board will share information to the Citizenship Council during their checks.
7.8. 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 66% 60% 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.

#326

This is unneeded. A member of the forum admin team will be on the council. I'm also not a fan of 60%. That's a bit easier than what I'd like to see.
#327

I'm with Hile on that. 60% is too low.

#328

66% for both.
#329

75% is good. We have no need to lower the percentages, considering security removals and denials are supposed to be difficult to overturn. The idea is not for them to be able to pass easily.

A 2/3rd majority wouldn't be an easy pass.

Easier than 3/4ths? Sure. Easy? No.
