I don't think the CRL is up and running yet but posting notice now that I plan to move this to the CRL for consideration.

Quote from: Baron Alexandreu Davinescu on Today at 11:42:47 AMThis is not a two-way street. You hurt another person.

Trust is a two-way street and will need to be rebuilt.
I am simply asking you and Miestra to post the joint statement you plan to make unsigned announcing the end of the boycott. I am happy to take the course and resign from the Ziu. Neither of those things bother me but I am concerned that you will invent new reasons or start talking about Dien or Braneu.

El Funal/The Hopper / The Sentient Rights Act
Last post by Breneir Tzaracomprada - Today at 11:35:57 AM
Whereas, it can be said that one objective in granting rights is to reduce suffering and enhance flourishing, so the use of sentience as a guiding characteristic may be more appropriate, and

Whereas, it was the trailblazing philosopher Jeremy Bentham who wrote in 1789, "The question is not, Can they reason? nor, Can they talk? but, Can they suffer?", and

Whereas, sentience is the characteristic of consciousness whereby an organism has a sufficient level of awareness to experience suffering, and

Whereas, sentience has been proven to be a characteristic not exclusive to homo sapiens sapiens, and

Whereas, it is therefore a fact that the restriction of the normative and legal discussion and codification of rights to humankind is an unacceptable case of anthropocentric speciesism.

Therefore, be it enacted that el Lexhatx F.5.1.8 which currently reads:

Quote10 December. Human Rights Day. A suggested method to celebrate Human Rights Day is reviewing Article XI of The Organic Law and/or the Universal Declaration of Human Rights.

is deleted.

and the current el Lexhatx F.5.2.7 which reads:

QuoteDecember 12: Llimbaziua (Language Day).

is renumbered as F.5.1.9.

The following new article is reinserted as el Lexhatx F.5.1.8 to read as:

Quote10 December. Sentient Rights Day. A day to celebrate the dignity and honor the rights of all sentient beings.

Quote from: Baron Alexandreu Davinescu on Today at 11:30:58 AMI hear you. But I'm not sure you hear me when I tell you that you don't get any "ask" because we're not making a bargain.

If you would like to show that you are actually remorseful and have learned something, these are two things you can do that no one could reasonably shrug aside.

You really like being in the legislature, and it's going to hurt for you to resign at the start of the term. You will not like undergoing training on how do avoid sexual harassment, because it will be a little challenging.

I am sure you would love an excuse to avoid both of these things, because you're not actually sorry for your past choices. But if you were sorry and wanted to show that, I'm telling you on behalf of a majority: here's how you could do it.

I don't think you do hear, Alexandreu. I am disappointed. Please let me know when you are able to show that this will really end. Trust is a two-way street.

Quote from: Moinul Moin on Today at 10:03:38 AM
Quote from: Marcel Eðo Pairescu Tafial, UrGP on October 01, 2026, 10:56:13 PMThese rules were in use during the last two Informal Sessions so I would hope they are uncontroversial. If there are any objections to them not just from S:reu Moin but from other Members of the Cosă, I'd be happy to hear them.
Would I still be able to take on the Tuisc'hach responsibility if I'm unable to attend video/audio conferences, but can handle the duties through other means?

Moinul, if you are unable to attend video/audio conferences then this eliminates your ability to moderate informal live sessions. I wonder if there is any option to designate an alternate? Either a Deputy Speaker or maybe the Mencei could handle duties needing someone to moderate using audio/video?

Quote from: Baron Alexandreu Davinescu on Today at 11:11:32 AMJust to reiterate, we are not bartering here. We're not striking a deal. You asked what you needed to do to move on, and I told you something that we had all discussed and that seemed like it would actually show both real remorse and a desire to learn. We're not negotiating about what you get in exchange, because this is not an exchange.

Personally, I don't think you will agree to these steps, because I don't think you actually feel sorry or think you did anything wrong. But it felt unfair and like a bad precedent to leave you in perpetual limbo. Just about everybody has the capacity to change and grow, and you deserve a chance to demonstrate that. You can do that or not.

Just as it has always been, the choice is yours.

Actually it is not the steps that concern me it is your commitment to follow through with ending the boycott once the steps are completed.

I asked for a public commitment, via the statement to be released announcing the end of the boycott, as a sign that you will actually do what you have not done twice before.

Please show me that the boycott will end if I resign from the Ziu and complete the course by posting the joint statement (from you and Miestra) here.

This is not an unreasonable ask.

Maricopa / Re: Next Cabana and Premieir
Last post by King Txec - Today at 11:13:11 AM
As there is nothing in our constitution preventing it, I hereby claim a seat in the Cabana and open the call for nominations of a Premieir.

Accordingly, I nominate @Françal I. Lux as the next Premier.
