Given that there has been some internal discussion over the past few months regarding possible amendments to the Party Constituziun, I hereby open the floor to any such proposals.

For example, I believe @Miestră Schivă, UrN-GC has stated a desire to reform the endorsement process for Senäts candidates found in Article III, Section H?

Alright, while I would have liked to hear from Vice-Chair Carbonel regarding his thoughts, it is indeed Wednesday, so I think we should get going.

Broadly speaking, and keeping in mind the general suggestions provided above by Vice-Chair Tzaracomprada, I believe there are four main topics this Committee should address:

• Constitutional amendment vs. constitutional overhaul -- should the current constitution be amended in specific places, or replaced outright?
• Form of the Executive -- should Florencia keep the current method of choosing the provincial executive? Should some alternative -- direct election, collegiate executive, etc. -- be implemented instead? Is legislative confidence necessary, or would some other form of democratic mandate be preferred?
• Form of the Legislature -- is the current "Real Nimlet" method of partisan election still preferred, or would Florencians prefer something like the "citizens' assembly" model used in some other provinces?
• The Legislative Process -- from V-C Tzaracomprada's statement above regarding Article IV, it would appear that amendments to Florencia's legislative process may be worth examining in further detail. I invite him to expand on this point at his leisure.

As noted in the opening post, this Committee must deliver its proposed solutions, whatever form they may take, by 1 June. I will say that in my experience, settling on the methods is usually the more time-consuming part of the process -- actually choosing the wording is relatively simple, it's deciding on the goal of that wording that's the tricky part. To that end, I think we should devote the majority of our time to refining the answers to the above questions (along with any others that may be raised) and defining the goals of the proposal. Let's say that the debate period may extend no later than 30 April, with drafting the proposed amendment(s) to occur during May. Is this acceptable to either of the Vice-Chairs? If so, that will constitute a majority, as this is one sort of issue I feel comfortable voting on for myself, as opposed to sticking to my usual neutrality.

Three years?!  That's a huge commitment.  You should let the person who made the site know -- I bet they'll be impressed!

There is a book called 1001 albums to listen to before you die. Someone made a site: https://1001albumsgenerator.com/ that generates an album every day to listen to and rate between 1 and 5 stars. For the past 3 years or so I have been slowly working my way through this. Currently on 465 albums rated.

(Unfortunately there are quite a lot of albums on the list that you don't really need to hear before you die at all. Apparently the author really likes c-tier britpop bands nobody outside of the UK has ever heard of and c-tier dated 60s psychedelic nonsense. Oh well)

My album for today was Simply Red - Picture Book. Would not recommend. It's bland, cheesy and it contains a disgustingly awful Talking Heads cover.

I have been slowly learning how to play the first two movements. I can sort of get through them ok now. (The third one Im not even gonna bother tbh)

Just an additional clarification: the finals are six separate contests, with separate winners, so we are looking for separate votes on each (or some) of the categories, rather than a combined list for all of them.

Presenting the front of the atrocity I came up with.

Also just realised that I made a mistake here... that I will fix tomorrow.

Just realised that this went off-topic; could anyone with proper permissions move this to a new topic in the chat room?
