Aaaaand next up on Tambien's "I Need To Write This" Docket we have the Timestamp Bill! I asked for people to do it on official things earlier so we could more easily apply the 72/48 hour rule, but I figured it couldn't hurt to formalize it.

Noticing the helpful effects that timestamps have in determining voting periods, and

Desiring that all voting periods be conducted efficiently and with as little grey area as possible,

The General Assembly of the Auroran Republic hereby enacts the following into law.

1. All Referendums, Bills, Elections, Citizenship, and Excommunication threads, as well as any future type of thread requiring the vote of the General Assembly, must be timestamped in the opening post.
2. This format shall be as follows: TIMESTAMP: [Time in EST TZ] MM/DD/YYYY.
3. Though not required, for record-keeping purposes, timestamps are strongly encouraged on all other discussion posts in the /r/CivAgora subreddit.

TIMESTAMP: 11:50 PM EST 7/26/2015
