I have updated the procedures, after taking feedback from a number of members.

For now, I'm gonna change the procedures a bit this afternoon, to streamline stuff

An update

Accepted, roster updated

Hey... It's been a while since I posted here! Damn!

I will Dark, for sure.

A few months ago, one of NPO senators, Laws and Bylaws (also known as LAB or Paul) discovered he and his wife had issues to have kids. So they made a lot of sacrifices and got themselves an InVitro fertilization and she was then pregnant with twins, which was probably the happier moment of their lifes. On 12th of March, the boys were borh, 4 and a little bit months earlier, and with the obvious health complications this brings. Here is a brief of the current status of the babies: They are in dire need or your help. This is not a joke nore a scam. I have been supporting LaB through the internet, which isn't much, and they need both your support and some assistance. If you can find in your heart the small part that will drive you to help them, please do so here: http://www.gofundme.com/teambabydj ANY little bit you can add will help, and I'm sure Paul and his wife Sarah will be ever grateful. I'll keep praying. Thanks Comrades.

I wholeheartedly agree that the Speaker and the PM should be combined into a single position

Consider yourselves accepted

The man just spoke for me... But you are basically advocating against ALL of TWP allies, as I think ALL of them identify themselves as one of those or other...

I think I may not have expressed my opinion. While I see how can the current civil code not be 100% totally perfectly fitted to TWP's overall reality, I think there is value on its current existence and creation, as both grant us a base to start crafting a more deliberately suited code of laws or conduct for TWP. Now, fully repealing it will simply leave us with nothing, and I see that as a worst scenario than what we currently have. Hence, instead of repealing it, I'd like to see it improved

How come or why exactly?

Voting for this is open: http://www.westpacific.org/forums/index.php?/topic/1256-voting-open-general-election-guidelines-act/

As per my proposition and the support of Arch, Pez, LS, Llamas and Feux this will be moved to vote as soon as the 7 days period of formal discussion ends, and since that period has already ended, then I will be moving this to vote within a few minutes!

Stupid mobile phone >_> I tried to say that the PM does not even exists in current legislation, and I see no need to bloat our government with more people that does less. What is the actual work of the PM in your proposal? Is he just a glorified global moderator?

I was naive and nice when younger

Face-book-ism?

The prime minister

I think at this point it would be hard to find a commitment area between our two positions. I do agree that since the power of the community is the assembly, then the head of the assembly, the speaker, should have the authority over the executive council, specially if the executive is going to be executing those tasks that the assembly as a whole deems required.

Both accepted and roster updated

Being comfortable is awesome
