| Amendment to Article 6, Section 1 of the Charter, regarding CSS Nominations |
The CSS is an important part of our government, and should anything happen it is it's duty to protect the region. The one thing that slightly bothers me is that normal citizens at the moment cannot nominate someone who may be worthy of being nominated, so therefore I propose this amendment to Article 6, Section 1 of the Charter:
Quote:Article 6: The Committee for State Security Now we must remember that people don't always consider themselves worthy enough of membership/don't even really think to apply, but when nominated will happily accept the nomination. Case in point when Escade nominated about 5 or so citizens a few months ago, and they accepted although they hadn't applied earlier. This seems like a great to expand our democracy, even if it's in the smallest of ways. ------------------------------ Anyway, thoughts? Complaints? Suggestions?
Your example is of a Delegate nominating citizens, which is already contemplated in the Charter.

My example is of citizens that otherwise wouldn't have applied for CSS membership accepting nominations for CSS membership (This is mainly in reply to what someone once said, which was something like "Citizens could just apply for the CSS if they wanted to be part of it.")
In general, I could get behind this, but the problem would be when we decide we need new people on the CSS. Since it's not a elected position, there isn't a set number of people who need to be on it at any given time.

If there isn't a set number of people on it at any given time, what's the problem with citizens nominatin' members?

Because potentially it would a) break up the CSS from its aforementioned goals and b) set up two different classes of citizens.

If by classes ya mean those that have their WA nation in the region and those that don't, that's already a reality, and the Assembly still has the power to deny the approval of any nation that'd run counter to the region's goals.

No, true.
But if we nominate and nominate, we end up with like ... 50% of citizens being in the CSS. It sets up a tiered system. There's a tipping point from where it becomes a job to where it becomes a special class. Honestly, I'd be hesitant to have many more CSS members than we do right now.
