Your Majesty, Talossa has had two former leaders guilty of sexual abuse of minors. That is a fact, whether we are comfortable with it or not. I also acknowledge the sexual harassment allegations against me which certainly is not comfortable either.

"Produced" is inaccurate though, I agree, so I will edit to clarify.

Any supporters are welcome to cosponsor. I will continue to make edits to address concerns too.

QuoteOkay, the change sounds good to me.  I'll make it: "3. No person shall hold more seats in the Cosă than thirty times the total number of seats in the Cosă divided by two times the number of ballots cast for the Cosa in the most recent General Election, rounded up to the next integer."

Under this formula, the seat limit in a 20-seat Cosă is 4 if turnout dips below 100, which as far as I could tell is the normal case. This has to do with how the limit strictly rounds up. Perhaps the following would future-proof things somewhat:

Quote"3. No person shall hold more seats in the Cosă than thirty times the total number of seats in the Cosă divided by two times the number of ballots cast for the Cosa in the most recent General Election, rounded up to the next non-zero integer."

EDIT: An as a side note, if you insist on moving voting system minutiae into the OrgLaw to make them harder to edit in the future, I expect we could just as well move the 20-seat Cosă in there, instead of continuing the "200 by default unless otherwise specified by law" dealio. In fact, I insist.

Okay, fair enough. I will try to write the changes to the text tonight, and get it to the CRL tomorrow.

It's pretty gross for someone who was condemned by the Ziu for sexual harassment to try to cover that up with this kind of nonsense.

Want to make things better around here? Give an honest apology. Even this bill just says you were "accused ." Your first step should be to take responsibility for your own actions.

I do not support this bill. I find it to be offensive and not worthy of a moments support. It is not only disingenuous but also mean spirited that the author of this proposal would dare to suggest on any level that Talossa "produced" two convicted sex offenders. This Kingdom had nothing at all to do with the actions of those two men, did not condone their actions, etc. We are not guilty by association nor are we responsible for the upbringing of moral failures of these two former citizens.

S:reu Tzaracomprada, I will veto this "sense" if it gets even one more vote than necessary to pass.

QuoteWhereas, the Me Too Movement International (https://metoomvmt.org/) has since 2006 provided vital support, resources, and advocacy for survivors of sexual harassment

I think we just found a new classic definition for the term chutzpah.

Yeah, I'd agree with that.

The standards of party democracy are a "nice to have" which we can deal with later if necessary; right now I don't think any party's membership are disgruntled.

Whereas, the Me Too Movement International (https://metoomvmt.org/) has since 2006 provided vital support, resources, and advocacy for survivors of sexual harassment and sexual violence, giving voice to millions who have suffered harm and working to hold perpetrators accountable across institutions and industries, and

Whereas, Talossa as a community has affirmed its commitment to the dignity and safety of all persons and to the cultivation of a culture free from harassment, abuse, and intimidation, and

Whereas, Talossa has the solemn responsibility to take the problem of sexual harassment and abuse seriously with two former leaders convicted of such heinous crimes as well as another who has been censured by the Ziu amid accusations of sexual harassment, and

Whereas, material support for organizations that serve survivors is among the most concrete and meaningful expressions of true commitment to survivor-centered values, moving beyond words and resolutions to tangible action in the world, and

Whereas, the Bureau of Humanitarian Assistance and International Development (BHAID) exists precisely to channel Talossan resources toward causes that reflect our values as a community and our obligations as citizens of the world, and

Whereas, a contribution of ($50 USD) from the BHAID to the Me Too Movement would represent a modest but meaningful gesture of solidarity with survivors and a public affirmation of Talossa's commitment to a culture of accountability and care.

Therefore be it the Sense of the Ziu that the BHAID is hereby encouraged to make a donation of ($50 USD) to the Me Too Movement in support of its work on behalf of survivors of sexual harassment and sexual violence.

The Ziu further reaffirms that this donation is made in recognition of Talossa's own history and in the spirit of our community's ongoing obligation to not merely condemn allegations of harassment in our own ranks, but to support those working to address it in the wider world.

I've been doing these terps quite frequently since maybe the 57th (?) Cosa. With respect to the role of the Distain this is the most insight I've ever received. Thanks Tgerxh. As a courtesy, I inform you I will NOT be following up.

I'll think about it.
