Quote from: Eðo Grischun on July 03, 2024, 09:50:44 PMApologies if things have changed since I was last around, and happy to be corrected, but from Article III, Section 5:

Any adult citizen of Vuode may claim a seat in the Estats Xhenerais during the period in which a national general election is taking place. This is done by making a declaration in public as follows: "I, name, hereby claim my right to be seated in the next Grand Session of the Estats Xhenerais". The citizen shall then be officially seated after swearing or affirming oath to the Cunstaval.


Does this mean leaving the claim period open till the 15th would breach this clause? Do claims need to be made before the conclusion of the national election? (I can say as the original author of the clause that the intention was that the period would end upon closing of the national polls).

Although, if we can find a way to argue that I'm wrong on this, I'll be happy seeing the period stay open a bit longer, seeing as it looks like only one person claimed a seat.

Glad you are back hopefully Vuode's future will get brighter with a more experienced leader. We did the best we could without any real leadership

Looking forward to working with you!

We'll need to have a bit of a think about the current situation as it appears we may need to do some legislative tinkering so that I'm not the only person serving as a Councillor for this term.

Just posted about it elsewhere.  The Cunstaval isn't required to dissolve the Assembly. It just happens automatically.

In-so-far as an official thread being created to collect seat claims, I believe this may have been a recent custom? However, it isn't strictly required. 

The constitution was written at a time when Vuode had an extremely inactive Constable and so we wrote the document to ensure things didn't rely on human input for many mechanisms.

Article III, Section 3

The States General is instantly and automatically dissolved (and also convened) without interaction required. It would have automatically dissolved when the previous Cosa was dissolved. The next session will automatically begin when the next Cosa is seated. This was by design in case the province ever suffered from an inactive Constable, Premier, or other officer.

Incidentally, I made a seat claim in another thread already.

Checking in.

Quote from: Bentxamì Puntmasleu on December 19, 2023, 11:17:36 PMIn the apparent absence of formal parliamentary procedure (perhaps that is something we could take up next), I would argue it is up Presider Officer @Tric'hard Lenxheir  to determine the nature or the voting period. That said, I suggest we consider this vote concluded unless @Ian Feliceu would like to vote (given that two of three councillors have already voted 'për,' and this bill requires a simple majority to pass, additional votes won't have any actual effect).

Article IV: Passing Legislation
SECTION 3
Each Grand Session of the Estats Xhenerais shall be made of six legislative sessions and shall mirror the schedule of the national Ziu. This includes any months of recess.

I, Eðo Grischun, hereby claim my right to be seated in the next Grand Session of the Estats Xhenerais

Bump. 

Are the citizens of MM and VD open to this?

Point of order.

My name appears to be missing from the list.

I, Éovart Grischun, hereby claim my right to be seated in the next Grand Session of the Estats Xhenerais.

I think we are doing our usual thing here and over-complicating things.

Would a simple 'breach of the peace' law work?  Make it a criminal offence to cause other Talossans alarm and distress?  Probably inOrganic, but is it worth exploring?

Today, I have cast my vote.

I have voted for the FREE DEMOCRATS to remain in government.

Currently, the nation faces many challenges and no other party has my confidence in meeting those challenges and solving them.

Please join me and VOTE FREEDEM.

RZ8 - PER

I must have missed a message somewhere or forgot to add it to my to-do list.  My apologies.

I can help with whatever you need, but something about your proposal causes me to pause and I'll need to to do some homework.

In the EU, GDPR rules limit what can be done with wholly automated decision making processes.  I need to confirm that an automated assignation system like you propose doesn't fall foul of those laws when being applied to our citizens residing in the EU.  I'm nearly sure that we will be fine to do what you propose, but I just need to read the relevant GDPR article first.
