Way, way too much Hawkeye.

It seems that they can be by these criteria (as noted by Cormac above): Residents: Nations in the region. Natives: Nations that possess more Regional Influence here than in any other region. WA Members: Members of the World Assembly. Large Nations: Nations with a population of at least 1 billion. Influential Nations: Nations possessing Regional Influence equivalent to having spent 1,000 unendorsed days in the region.

Dramatic Legal Reform?!
That Called the Vlagh replied to Consular's topic in Constitutional Convention
No legislation/constitution that in any way, shape, or form attempts to dictate to the Delegate will be placed before this body for a vote so discussion on such matters is unnecessary. -
I found him amusing. Much more so than that guy that got so butthurt over a simple emoticon.

That Called the Vlagh replied to Consular's topic in Constitutional Convention
Just to be clear, no governmental structure that includes in-game stipulations (WA membership included) will be put forward for the vote. -
Timetable - for discussion

Sure thing. Done. -
So, instead of just blindly going forward with discussions, I think it might be best to have some form of timetable in place for the Convention. This is what I envision at present but I am open to suggestions for modifications: I. Open Debate - Style of government - Structure of government - Limits of government (Now to 5 May 2015) II. Formulation of Proposals - Formal consolidation of government structures for voting Cormac's Union of the West Pacific Llamas's West Pacific Constitutional Act (5 May 2015 to 12 May 2015) III. Voting on proposal(s) Ratification vote on the Charter of the Union of the West Pacific (12 May 2015 to 19 May 2015) Note: This is just a general layout and can be modified if necessary because of general consensus or whatever

Since we are an exclusively offsite government, why not make a complete system like once existed within the old Meritocracy? Obviously we would forego the election process and make Senate membership voluntary but we could perhaps incorporate some of the structures here. I hesitate to copy those structures for review because they are admittedly complicated and if we are looking solely for a system that is simple that may not be the best course of action. -
I think those appointed into the positions did as well. The lack of involvement was the primary impetus for the introduction of the Civil Code. It was meant as a means of getting more people involved. Since it has never panned out and it appears that we are able to successfully navigate headaches without it, I would support its exclusion.

Welcome to the Constitutional Convention
That Called the Vlagh replied to Eli's topic in Constitutional Convention
I saw the suggestion in the other forum and moved it here before reading this. Since Archsium was advocating change I feel certain he will be fine with the thread being moved. If not I will be happy to move it back. -
Present

We have already revoted on the matter and reached a conclusion that was unsatisfactory, again. Considering the recent turmoil within the HGA, I decided to reinstate the Prime Minister with the aim of moving forward with the Constitutional Convention. The authority to do so rests with me, and my authority rests with the Delegate. That said, we will be starting a Constitutional Convention shortly to outline a new governmental structure for the forum based community. It will still maintain its separation from the ingame governance of the region.
-
The Constitutional Convention will begin shortly. Archsium's outline seems like a good place to start so we will begin with that. I believe you will find that the entirety of the HGA is a subset of my Ministry. Claiming that my appointment, which comes from the Delegate directly, is somehow invalid is a bit much, even for you.

Considering that at least half of the HGA do not wish to see Elegarth replaced as Prime Minister, I have decided, as Minister of Legislative RP, to reject his initial resignation and reinstate him to the position effective immediately. Elegarth is the Prime Minister from this point forward until either the end of his originally elected term or the end of the HGA, whichever is sooner.
