Quote from: Miestră Schivă, UrN on March 24, 2024, 09:10:04 PMPreliminary discussion among the Free Democrats gives a THUMBS UP to this proposal.

If the TNC internal discussions turn out negative, I'm interested to hear what the next idea down the pipeline might be.


Thanks Miestra. This is getting really exciting.

Note: Renamed thread for the actual amendment proposal now.
Awaiting conclusion of internal TNC discussions before starting the Hopper clock, I think.

@Ian Plätschisch I hope this is OK to bring your previous amendment back here for potential discussions. I was inspired by your recently reelected party president's speech. I do agree with her and hopefully you that the time is right now after observing the activity levels of the King during my own term and that of Therxh's term. There is a similar proposal that I brought forward for discussion internally in the TNC.

QuoteWHEREAS There is no point in being longwinded here because everything that can be said about an elective Monarchy has already been said,

THEREFORE Org II.3 is replaced in its entirety with:

When the Monarch has reigned for at least seven years since the previous Conclave, a Conclave shall be called and chaired by the Senior Judge of the Uppermost Cort, or in their absence the next available Judge in order of seniority. Such a Conclave may also be called by the Ziu at any time following the same procedure as amending this Organic Law (with the most senior available Judge serving as Chair).

The Judge shall call a Conclave by publicly submitting to the Secretary of State a message to all eligible electors announcing the Conclave and providing instructions on how and when to register to participate. Whenever the Conclave is called by the Ziu, the Túischac'h (or other Cosa official if the Túischac'h is unavailable) shall submit this message instead. Upon receiving the message, the Secretary of State shall be responsible for communicating the message to all eligible electors. The Conclave shall commence fourteen days from the moment the Secretary of State sends the message to the electors.

Any Talossan shall who has been a citizen for at least seven years as of when the Judge (or Cosa official) submits the message to the Secretary of State shall be eligible to be an elector in the Conclave, but only those who register with the Judge before the Conclave commences shall be electors.

All discussions of the Conclave shall be open, but its votes shall be by secret ballot. The votes of every elector shall have equal weight. All other operations of the Conclave shall be decided by the Conclave or prescribed by statute.

Should more than 60% of the Conclave express that they desire the Monarch not remain on the throne, then the Conclave shall be called and meet again in six months according to the procedures above. At this meeting of the Conclave, a new Monarch of Talossa (who may be the current Monarch) shall be chosen. The candidate who receives the expressed support of 2/3 of the Conclave shall immediately receive the title of "Heir Presumptive". The Conclave shall also be called to choose a new Monarch whenever there is no Monarch.

The Heir Presumptive shall swear an oath promising to protect and uphold the Organic Law of Talossa and the rights of all its citizens, and thereupon become Monarch of Talossa, replacing the previous Monarch (unless both are the same person).

FURTHERMORE Org II.4 is deleted.

FURTHERMORE Org II.5 is renumbered to Org II.4 and is amended to read:

The Monarch may, at whim, appoint, replace, or remove a Regent (or a Council of Regency, which is considered equivalent to a Regent), who shall administer the government in the name of the Monarch, and exercise all powers Organically or legally vested in the Monarch, except the power to appoint or replace a Regent. No person not a citizen of Talossa shall be competent to serve as Regent or member of a Council of Regency. The Ziu may by law remove or replace any appointed Regent, and if the Ziu removes a Regent appointed by the Monarch, the Monarch may not reappoint the same person Regent without the prior consent of the Ziu. Whenever there is no Monarch, the Uppermost Cort shall serve as the Council of Regency.

FURTHERMORE Org II.6 is renumbered to Org II.5

FURTHERMORE The name of Title L of el Lexhatx is amended to "Laws Supplementing Article II of the Organic Law"

FURTHERMORE Lex.L.10 is replaced with the following:

10. The following provisions apply to Conclaves called in accordance with Article II, Section 3 of the Organic Law.

10.1 The Conclave may, as it deems necessary, adopt a rule, procedure, or protocol to conduct operation provided a majority of Electors supports any such rule, procedure, or protocol, or change thereto.  Any rule, procedure, or protocol adopted by a Conclave will not a subsequent Conclave.

10.2 Before any vote for Monarch is cast, the Conclave shall choose an Elector to serve as Herald in a manner it deems appropriate.  Within 96 hours of a vote for Monarch ending, the Herald, the Secretary of State, and the Council of Regency shall, separately and independently of the other, count such votes, and the Herald, the Secretary of State, and the Council of Regency shall, separately and independently of the other, report one result to the Conclave.   After 96 hours, the vote for Monarch is verified based on the vote count of the majority of timely reported results.

Quote from: Sir Txec dal Nordselvă, UrB on March 23, 2024, 05:18:37 AMI suppose a party could register at any time, but they wouldn't have the same standing as a party that ran during the election.

Thank you, this is helpful. Do you know if there is a section of the law to amend to change this?

Quote from: Sir Txec dal Nordselvă, UrB on March 22, 2024, 11:49:04 PMSorry but I'm not entirely sure what you are asking here.

Are there any restrictions on party registration before the run up to an election?

I've seen new parties be registered around that time. But if a party wanted to register just AFTER an election is it possible as our laws are currently written and implemented?
#7
@Sir Txec dal Nordselvă, UrB Mr. Secretary, Hi. I wanted to be sure I checked with you before writing legislation as the election administrator. Do you know if there is currently a process (or any restrictions, if not) for an individual or party to register outside of the run-up to an election? I can't find any mention of a kind of register or official record of current parties so wanted to check.

Quote from: mpf on March 17, 2024, 04:02:21 AMCan this be Clarked for the 5th Clark?

It can, but it first needs to go through committee review after at least ten days have passed since it's been posted in the Hopper (which they have).

Do you wish the bill be moved to committee?

Senator @mpf just a heads up this still needs to be reviewed by the CRL before being clarked. Still time but considering recent activity levels on Witt you may want to give the CRL members as much time as possible.

Quote from: Breneir Tzaracomprada on February 24, 2024, 04:35:58 PMWe have only received submissions from two authors and worry this will not be enough to have an honest contest. The submission deadline is 29 February. If we do not receive more submissions then I am considering cancelling this contest and pursuing an alternative effort to highlight the writings of Talossans through a made-to-order bookstore.

There once was a man from Florencia
Who said "Where is the poetry mania?
The chance is remote
That we'll truly promote
Our literary intelligentsia!"




Alright, that's two from you, Ian. :)

Quote from: Ian Plätschisch on February 25, 2024, 08:40:55 PMFor consistency, either "The Seneschal may perform any official act on behalf of their ministers" should be changed to "The Seneschal may perform any official act on behalf of his ministers", or all of the "he"s and "him"s in the rest of the section should be changed.

Thanks Ian. Change made.

I want to publicly thank @Ián Tamorán S.H. for the pleasure of reading his great submissions. We have only received submissions from two authors and worry this will not be enough to have an honest contest. The submission deadline is 29 February. If we do not receive more submissions then I am considering cancelling this contest and pursuing an alternative effort to highlight the writings of Talossans through a made-to-order bookstore. I have broached the idea with our Culture Minister.
