This thread can be used to discuss the changes we need to make to the Voice. Here is my list of things the Voice should incorporate now that we have returned normality. This is supposed to get discussion going, and is by no means final. Bear with me. I would like to put this excerpt from the Delegate’s proposal somewhere in the Charter because it clears any possible confusion over how the lawmaking starts. "LAWMAKING: Each and all members of the voice can make law proposals that will govern and limit the actions of the off-site community (no law shall pertain the in-game aspect); this laws can be discussed freely by all members of the voice and the delegacy, as moderated by the Advocate and its deputies."The Voice needs to actually create laws about its procedure, otherwise nothing will get off the ground. I’ve had this idea for a while and never really put it out there, but this could be a good tool for increasing activity. New Nation Affairs Ministry: It would be the task of this ministry to provide a centralized location for all help links, extra help material beyond what already exists, and answers other questions that may be asked. This ministry would not be just for the newbs, of course. Anyone could come here to ask a question about the game or the forums, so a different name may be appropriate in that sense. It could utilize in-game mechanics such as the RMB and telegrams to get the word out. If it was included in the WFE and welcome telegram, then it could increase traffic to and draw in more new nations to take part in the forums. This line of the Charter needs to be changed. Currently it doesn’t specify how the Voice can remove appointed officials other than the Advocate. (11) The Voice may, by two-thirds majority vote, dismiss any official appointed by the Advocate from office. To simplify the application process instead of using threads and such to say what positions are up for grabs. Also changing the way DAs are chosen. Applications would to an "Application Officer of the Voice" who would handle the application procedure with the Voice, then they went to the Voice itself to see which one's passed there, and finally to the Advocate for the final choice. Or perhaps to the Advocate first and then to the Voice in more of an appointment and confirmation style setup. The Application Officer would simply receive the applications by a set deadline, then report them to the Voice or whoever for a vote. This simply makes it more formal and a little simpler for the layman to understand. To combat a potential inactive Advocate: A council with rotating (active) members along with the DAs and Advocate would run the day to day tasks of the Voice, while the whole Voice would be used for legislative purposes. Also, in the case of an inactive member in a leadership position, there could be an "Inactive Vote" where 2/3 of the Voice votes to replace said official with an interim replacement, and then another vote ending the replacementship (there's a better word for that, I just can't think of it). Overall, in order to promote ease of access to the Voice, there should be as few grey areas as possible as well as explanations of how things work so there is as little confusion as possible.
