Crazy and I have taken into consideration a lot of the points brought up both in public and in private on our new Charter, and we've made some minor revisions that we hope will help mollify most of them.

The biggest change was that we increased the Chancellor's term to two months by mandating that the election-related threads be posted "every other" month. You can find these clauses in II.E, and I've included them below as well:

E) The Pantarch is responsible for posting necessary election threads as follows:

i) A nominations thread on the 5th of every other month, which is open until the elections thread is posted. Citizens are prohibited from self-nominating and must be seconded by someone other than themselves.

ii) A voting thread on the 15th of every other month, listing all nominees as top tier comments. (lasts 48 hours).

iii) A statement of resignation no later than 24 hours after the completion of the voting thread, and the announcement of the new Chancellor.

iv) If any thread the Chancellor is required to make is missing, the sitting Chancellor is barred from running for the next two consecutive elections, and the following day, the thread may be posted by the Pantarch or member of the Chancellery.

v) Under extraordinary circumstances, as declared by the reigning Chancellor, these dates may be modified as necessary, though they must return to normal in the following election. The new election dates will be subject to a public referendum where ¾ of the votes cast are in favor of the proposed dates, with the referendum lasting 72 hours.

I understand that some people have stated that these elections clauses are needlessly confusing, but to be honest I don't see it. We took them directly from the old Charter and they worked pretty well then. Nonetheless, if anyone has suggestions on how to clarify them I'm all ears.

I also tried to clarify the purpose of the Council by providing a more detailed explanation in II.G. Essentially, the Council would only be implemented when activity warranted its existence. When the Council has not been implemented, the GA continues to function as the law-making body of Aurora. The clause now reads:

G) The Pantarch both implements and dismantles the Council as activity dictates, implementing the Council when the population of the Republic is large enough and dismantling it when the population lulls into a period of inactivity. The Council can only be dismantled at the end of a term. If the Council is dismantled, all Council powers will revert to direct voting by the General Assembly. A citizen may stop the dismantling of the Council by calling for a direct vote of the General Assembly.

I also went through and checked on the formatting again. I think it's entirely fixed, but I might have missed something. I'd appreciate a second set of eyes looking it over.

You can find the Second Charter of Aurora here and the original announcement of the new Charter here.

What are everyone's thoughts?

EDIT:

I made a few more small changes that don't change anything functionally but should clarify some stuff. Primarily this happened in Article II and Article V. Basically, I moved a few things that belonged in Law-Making (V) out of the Pantarch (V) and explicitly granted the GA a few more powers. I also added a voting threshold on V.B.iv which states that Charter amendments need a 3/4 vote when devolved to the GA. Previously this had been "unanimous decision." I think we can all agree that wouldn't be realistic. I also added two mentions of excommunication, one along with the citizenship clause in Article I and another allowing for excommunication votes under Article V and the Council powers.
