I know we are a very small country and that our ability to influence on the issue of AI safety is extremely limited. Recent news has reaffirmed a need to speak on the issue so I bring forward this legislation for a second time. I hope we will lead in the ways we can.

Should there be a wish to distance from sponsorship by me please feel free to copy or revise and sponsor yourself.

Wanted to be sure and bump this to ensure it is on the work continues list.

Quote from: Glüc on Yesterday at 05:06:35 PMThe stagewin went to Cézembre Fiescha.

Yo!! Fear y'all, la Fieschā is back to win!

Unfortunately I don't have time for proper update today. The stagewin went to Cézembre Fiescha. For the race for overall winner no change is very good news for BdC, who are getting very close to the win with only two stages to go.

Tomorrow the Queen stage with loads of climbing and many vertical meters.

I was a little too brief; I meant I am not sure the current language would allow simply abolishing the Senäts (as opposed to doing something else to it) without provincial consent as the introduction to this bill implies.

Quote from: Sir Ian Plätschisch on Yesterday at 03:01:45 PMAre we sure that abolishing the Senäts wouldn't count as "affect[ing] the representation of a province in the Senäts"?

"differently to other provinces" I thought was the key phrase, but if you can think of a better way to word it...

Are we sure that abolishing the Senäts wouldn't count as "affect[ing] the representation of a province in the Senäts"?

Stage 18 (ITT)  »  El Puerto de Santa María  ›  Jerez de la Frontera

The second and longer individual team trial was, as predicted, a Cjovani-led affair; the Belacostan team had the potential to put as many as five or six riders in the points, to most other teams's one or two. And indeed, while non-TCAT riders got first and second, CJO placed Almeida in third, Roglic in fourth, van Aert in fifth, Armirail in seventh and Chamberlain in thirteenth, winning the stage by a wide margin and making back almost 500 points on BDC.

The stage result is deceptive, though: GC leader Enric Mas, thought to be doomed to dropping around 1:30 minutes to (much more competent time trialist) Primoz Roglic, actually limited his losses to just 33 seconds from the Slovene, placing 12th in a performance that could very well seal the deal in his bid to win the general classification. This is very good news for BDC, of course, as is the good performance of Oscar Onley, who placed 17th after somewhat struggling during the second week. Conversely, Felix Gall and Richard Carapaz performed about as expected and limited their losses, while Matthias Skjelmose, initially thought to be the other somewhat competent time trialist other than Roglic, floundered to a lowly 28th, losing time to all other GC riders except for Kuss.

This all means that, while the score delta between Cjovani and BDC is about what was to be expected, the situation in the general classification has not changed enough for Cjovani to have an advantage in End of Tour points (worsened a bit, actually, because of Sepp Kuss losing time). If the Belacostans want to win their second TCAT edition more than four years after their first, they will have to get 450 more stage points in the remaining three stages, plain and simple.

I learned how to draft the bill here.

How are national laws drafted and submitted to Parliament?
