Ok, so this list is basically in order of where things appear in the proposed constitution.

• Can you elaborate on Chapter I, Section 7 a bit?
• Would it perhaps make sense to render the new constitutionally-defined motto in Talossan instead of English?
• I notice that I.6 and III.4, while perhaps not directly in conflict, appear to be redundant and possibly contradictory. In other words, you could say they're trying to "talk past each other". Would it make sense to maybe combine them into one section to clarify the subordination of provincial law to national law, and the order of precedence within the former?
• The current Constitution bars the Constable and the Sovereign from the legislature. This new proposal does not. Is this something we consider desirable?
• For that matter, it does not seem to grant Florencians the ability to opt in or out of a Curia seat for the term. What was the reasoning here?
• Much like I myself was advised during the drafting process for the Belacostan constitution, I would recommend having the "failure to act" provision in IV.3 match that of the Crown at the national level (bill not otherwise acted upon takes effect at the end of the month in which it is passed). To do otherwise may call into question the Organicity of this provincial constitution under Org.IX.4.4.
• How is the Paramount chosen if both Directors either do or do not want to be the Paramount?
• Given the issues Florencia has had with filling provincial offices of late, is the separation of the Chancellor into a different role, barred from another provincial office, the best course forward? Could the duties of the Chancellor perhaps be held by the non-Paramount Director, either de jure or de facto? Made an office of the Instrumentality, etc?
• For that matter, would it be wise to place a length on the term of Instrumentality offices?
• Is a simple majority to remove any officer appropriate? Would "impeachment" (since that is in effect what this would be) perhaps be better served by some higher threshold?
• Directory elections always occur during general elections, and also between them as necessary, yes? These seems like a lot, what happens if there's an early dissolution of the Cosa?
• Does the Curia ever have any sort of recess or end to the term? Does it ever suspend business?
• If all citizens are members of the Curia, is the amendment-by-referendum process necessary?

I know this is a fair number of questions, but a big part of my role here is to effectively play the role of deableu sè avocat, to refine the proposal.

Vice-Chair @mximo , do you have any input on Vice-Chair Tzaracomprada's proposal?

This is very concerning.

Stage 19 Feltre -> Alleghe (Piani di Pezzè)

The queen stage of this edition immediately saw an important surprise as Jhonatan Narvaez (MMM/REX/VFL), one of Giro's standout riders and still in full contention for the points classification, dropped out of the race after apparently crashing after yesterday's stage finish, en route to his team bus. The breakaway predictably took a while to form, but interestingly ended up including both climbers (Ciccone, Harper and Rubio) and a few GC riders (Storer and Gee-West).

It turned out Ciccone (BDC/CHX/ITW) and Rubio (CFA) more or less made a deal to respectively split summit points and intermediate sprints, but when Ciccone teammate Gee-West (REX) broke the deal by going for the second intermediate sprint, Rubio in turn "stole" the next summit from Ciccone, who did not take it well. The Italian rode off into the distance to attempt a solo win, but was caught and had to settle (yet again) for third, with Gee-West taking second.

So no stagewin to the GC favourites, with Gall, Vingegaard and Hindley having to settle for 4th to 6th. Points also to Piganzoli, Rubio and Storer closing off the top 10, with the biggest news being Thymen Arensman finishing only 12th and losing a minute from GC leader Vingegaard and the third place in GC from Hindley.

Banqeu de Cézembre gets their second stagewin of this edition; they seem headed for second place in the final standings, as they should score both more stagepoints and End of Tour points than Cyclohexane. The latter, in turn, should have more chances to defend at least the final podium position from ITW and MMM given Narvaez abandoning and Milan having a chance at a good position on Sunday.

Standings after stage 19:

Tomorrow we get TCAT's penultimate and probably decisive stage, featuring two laps of the 14km Piancavallo ascent. Since this is also my home stage, I will try and attend and get some pictures!

Well this was completely wrong. Oops. Fascinating stage today.

What happened?!!

Quote from: Baron Alexandreu Davinescu on January 16, 2026, 03:07:45 PMþerxh, would you be willing to wait on sending it to the CRL?  Sorry, I know you were ready to go with it, and I should have said something earlier, but there's been a lot going on.

Of course, happy to give us all a bit more time to define a good legal framework for the administration and the moderation of our Wiki, which I think deserves a special status

@Sir Lüc , sorry for the disturbance, could you please move this bill back to the Hopper ?

Is this bill moving forward in the near future? Looks to be stalled since it was moved back to the Hopper in mid-January...

Checking in on this, @þerxh Sant-Enogat . Is this bill moving forward? It has my support.

Go Fiovă, Go Fiovă, Go Fiovă

Quote from: Baron Alexandreu Davinescu on Yesterday at 09:09:24 AMI just hope to hold onto the podium by my fingernails at this point.

Milan getting the opportunity to sprint today was pretty bad news for you in that regard. A podium is still very much possible though. (I think so anyway. I haven't actually checked the virtual standings.) Piganzoli is realistically your only hope to make a difference with CHX/BDC/ITW, so a lot will depend on him getting points in the final mountain stages and hanging on in GC for you.

Stage 18 Fai della Paganella -> Pieve di Soligo

As usual Cyclohexane were represented in the break today and again it was Bais who went on the attack. It was caught before the climbs near the end. Surprisingly the various attacks on the final climb before the finish were not enough to permanently drop the best sprinters permanently, so it was a bunch sprint. Magnier won and regained the lead in the points classification. Milan (GHS/CHX) was the best TCAT rider in third place. Yet another stagewin for GHST. Cyclohexane climb to second place.

Tomorrow we get the Queen stage of this edition with 6 climbs, including Passo Giau, which is the cima coppi (highest point of the giro) and an uphill finish. Definitely a stage for the climbers, although we get another mountain stage on saturday, so for the GC contenders a podium place may be lost, but not won tomorrow.


(Also if someone wanted to challenge Vingegaard for the overall win tomorrow would be the day to do it. Trying and failing however would risk dropping of the podium alltogether, so as much as I'm hoping someone gives it a shot to make things interesting, I'm guessing it's not gonna happen.)

Quote from: Baron Alexandreu Davinescu on Yesterday at 09:53:46 AMThe people's will is best and most directly expressed by their vote, and we should be careful about wise elders deciding when the people's will shouldn't count.

This is exactly why I oppose expanding off-list appointees or softening party list requirements any further, since it is essentially elder party leaders deciding that the directly expressed preference for a certain slate of candidates should not count as long as it's convenient for them.

But setting all that aside, what do you think of the voting system I proposed a few posts ago?

QuoteElections to the Cosă shall be conducted following the principles of personalised proportional voting.

• Voters shall be given the choice to either vote for a single party list at-large, or to distribute exactly 20 individual votes among all candidates listed on all party lists. A single candidate may be awarded up to three individual votes.
• Seats shall be apportioned among party lists according to their at-large party list votes as well as the total individual votes for their candidates using the largest remainder method. Individual candidate votes shall count as one twentieth of an at-large party list vote for the purposes of party seat apportionment. In case of a tie, the party with the higher total vote count is prefered.
• Party seats shall be apportioned among their list candidates according to their individual votes using the largest remainder method. In case of a tie, the candidate listed higher on the list is prefered.
