I'm not particularly convinced that either of the first two clauses are factually true (though perhaps they are morally true or desirable, by a given standard).
#2
Is it necessary to clarify that the new term would start in January 2026? That would seem to be the implication of "Every Judge of the Cort pü Inalt shall be subject to a re-appointment in intervals of five years, measured from when their initial appointment." - that is, the reappointment is necessary in January 2021.
#3
Logically such action should apply across all "equivalent" Talossan-owned accounts on social media etc - Facebook, Witt, etc. It would not reasonably apply to, say, a private political party Discord - this is not civil disability, it's a moderation decision by the Governmant about Government-administered property.

Quote from: Miestră Schivă, UrN-GC on April 13, 2025, 01:27:53 AMIf you just want *no* quality control on immigration, for all immigration applications to be automatically posted to this board, just say so.

I wouldn't want this, personally.

Obviously speaking with interest, but:

Is the 2/3 requirement a particular burden? supermajority for such things seems normal

If you want to avoid AI, make it handwritten. (This will not be adopted, I understand. I'm just telling you that between that and actual invigilated exams, those are the only reasonable methods we have against AI cheating academically - and even they are only "very good", not perfect.)

El Ziu/The Ziu / Re: A quorum on the Clark?

Quote from: Munditenens Tresplet on February 10, 2025, 08:56:54 PMI agree with all the above. I'd also note that I personally see an Aus vote as recording your presence for the purpose of establishing a quorum, so yes, one Per would pass a bill in the presence of such quorum.

This is not an uncommon practice - UK charities, especially member charities, often use this kind of method - though they usually also count it AGAINST the vote on something requiring a formal vote and success threshold (such as election of certain officers). Not suggesting we should do that latter, just citing a parallel

The big upside of Bluesky is that it's not Twitter; the big downside is that it's Bluesky.

Wonderful idea.

Quote from: owenedwards on January 17, 2024, 08:56:46 PMRe 6.12.2, given a perfectly plausible problem that might arise is that the convicted party is not able to so request (due to external circumstances), he might reasonably claim to have been deprived of the spirit by the letter. Something to consider.

I think the best answer to this is to extend the deadline? To, let's say, 2 months?

Yes, that's a good faith length I think.
