Hello all,

I am enacting the following executive rule to come into force in on the 9th of February at 5:00PM, just in time for the next Parliamentary business cycle.

These amendments enable the Executive Board along with the Events Team Leader to provide notice for a Motion or Matter of Public Importance (MPI).

In doing so we hope to:

• Further enable the Events Team to engage with the Parliament during events.
• Enable the Executive Team to spruce engagement in times of low submission activity.

Inspiration may be drawn from current events, real life parliamentary debates, community suggestions and the like.

Standing Order 107 will be re-introduced as follows:

107  Notice from outside Parliament

(a) Those who are not members of the Parliament may give notice for the submission of a motion or matter. This shall be limited to those referred to in Section (b) of Standing Order 107.
(b) Notice of a motion may be delivered via the Extraparliamentary Business Submission Form by the following:
    i.  Executive Board Members
    ii. Events Team Leader
(c) Motions delivered under this section may be withdrawn by the submitter at any stage prior to final passage. In doing so, they are to be marked as withdrawn on the order paper.

Any queries, concerns or suggested changes please mention myself /u/Model-Forza in a comment below or contact me on the AustraliaSim Discord server.
