COP: General Outline
#1

So, Ryccia and I have been working on this for a while. here is what we think needs to be covered:
  • Procedure for debate
  • List of acceptable motions
  • Powers the Chair has
  • Time lengths for votes
  • Procedure for something being brought back to a vote
  • Procedure for competing legislation
  • Codifying DCoA
  • Expulsion from the Assembly
  • Assembly/LC Relations
So is there anything we should add or take off?
Above all else, I hope to be a decent person.

So in the end, would what we do here serve as a guide for the assembly (a recommendation of what to do), or would this turn into constitutional law (since we would legitimatize a DCoA and vote times and such)?

If it serves as a guide, then we really can't touch any of this.. So im going to safely assume that its constitutional in nature.

With that, I think we should add a new category called "power of the (individual) legislator", just as a formality.

It'd be constitutional, since we'll be proposing the findings of our research and exploration plus our associated proposed draft changes for the assembly to vote on.

Law formatting is an issue dear to me, but probably belongs in a separate commission.

Actually, I would argue that law formatting could go here, so long as it was an outline and didn't end up going into 1000000+ pages

I agree that the above needs to be covered, and would like to address each part of the general outline in separate threads.

I motion to open up threads on each subject.

Then in that case, I will approve the motion to do so.
On a side note I do believe that we should enumerate the powers and responsibilities of the Chair of the COP.

Sure: The COP Chair is in charge of doing what it takes so this can run smoothly. that includes running votes and making threads when needed.
Above all else, I hope to be a decent person.

hey crazy idea here: what if there was a way for debate time to be accelerated if a matter is urgent and the PM, PJ and CoA all agree?
Above all else, I hope to be a decent person.
