[Vote] The June Amendments
Author Summary
Azelair is in Vote
Post Body

This amendment eliminates the SOTW Clause as it's no longer relevant. Additionally, it requires residents to join a co-op to become a citizen (and sets limits of membership to 3 co-ops). Most importantly, it defines the Coordinator System to give the co-ops some structure. Article IV is rewritten as follows:

3.1 The People's Coalition.

The Peopleโ€™s Coalition is the democratic means by which the Danzilonan interests are carried out and maintained. It is composed of non-hierarchical cooperatives and a group of volunteer diplomats known as the Seer. The coalition is privileged with access to national funds, with each cooperative working toward distinct and clearly defined objectives. Danzilonan citizens may become members of cooperatives at will by indicating their intention to do so on the census or contacting the legal cooperative. They may, however, belong to no more than three. The agenda of each cooperative is to be determined either by consensus or a majority vote by its members. The coalition exists in a dynamic state, thus necessary changes to its configuration are encouraged. No particular arrangement of the coalition is to be deemed as final, unconditional, or permanent.

3.1.1 Forming Cooperatives.

The coalition will necessarily have to account for matters of diplomacy, national security, infrastructure, commerce, and the management of a national budget. Cooperatives are brought about when two or more citizens petition to do so during the appropriate time in a legislative session. This is to be done on the subreddit using a [Proposal] thread title. The petitioners must identify themselves then specify the name of the cooperative, its responsibilities, and the project(s) that they will begin work on as its founding members. Voting is to take place in-game following the same procedure as other non-amendment proposals. If a simple majority votes to approve of its formation, a new cooperative is created and integrated into the coalition.

3.1.2 Eliminating Cooperatives.

If a cooperative is deemed obsolete or detrimental it can be recalled at any time by a citizen by posting a [Recall] thread. This initiates an immediate voting process which will take place for 5 days in the same thread and a simple majority must vote in favor of the recall for the cooperative to be eliminated. Alternatively, this can be done by its own members with a [Disband] thread in which all of its own members sign off on its elimination in the comments.

3.1.3 The Agenda

The authority, names, and responsibilities of existing cooperatives may be altered as part of a standard proposal requiring a simple majority. The existence of cooperatives is justified by their continued work on projects for which members may sign up without preconditions other than citizenship. Projects may be short term tasks such as constructing a building. They can also be ongoing efforts such as recordkeeping or improving diplomatic relations. Each cooperative is afforded its own Discord channel and each project its own thread. Conflicts that arise in terms of the agenda are to be resolved internally by democratic means, otherwise it may be appealed to the general population for a vote.

3.1.4 Coordinators

While cooperatives are generally non-hierarchical, the people may decide to enact the Coordinator System when deemed necessary. Coordinators have the power to set the agenda within reason for the sake of keeping the team productive. Elected internally by their members, no one may coordinate more than one cooperative at a time. The role of Coordinator is not to be treated as an office, but rather a dynamic role carried out by the citizens most suited for it at a given time.

The bimonthly census is used to reactivate and nullify the Coordinator System as the people deem necessary. Each census will include a question on the renewal of the Coordinator system. If a majority of census voters respond in favor of renewal by the seventh day, the system will be used until the next census and Coordinators must be re-elected. If a majority of census voters respond in opposition to renewing the Coordinator System by the seventh day, it is immediately dissolved until the next census. A culture in which Coordinators treat their role as temporary and conditional is therefore encouraged.

3.2 The Seer

Unlike cooperatives, the Seer is a permanent feature of the coalition that takes on the diplomatic responsibilities of the FWCD. Each member, known as an Eye of Danzilona, may take on the duties of liaison of Danzilona to an alliance or other supranational organization.

Any Eye can serve as a simple point of contact to foreign nations, however, nations communicating with Danzilona should ideally be asked to seek out a pair of Eyes.

Eyes must work to keep citizenry informed on international matters and are not to make decisions for Danzilona or claim to have the agency to do so. The Eyes must also have a Seer discord channel in which they can communicate about matters of diplomatic significance.

3.2.1 Volunteering, Approval, and Recall

Any citizen who wishes to take on the duties of an Eye shall make a post on r/Danzilona on a saturday or sunday with the title โ€œ[Eye Nomination] - <their IGN>". Voting will then proceed as outlined in 2.1.2 and 2.1.3 (skipping 2.1.1), with votes as follows: "Eye <IGN>. eye/nay". Approval requires a 50% 1 vote.

Upon approval the citizen shall become an Eye until they step down or are recalled. To recall an Eye any citizen, including any other Eye, can make a post with the title "[Recall Eye] - <their IGN>". A 50% 1 vote in favor is required for recall.

Two or more Eyes may also start a snap recall vote for another Eye in Discord as a public thread in the citizens channel, such a vote would instead require 2/3rds of votes but voting would close within 24 hours.

Voting will begin now in this thread and proceed for 48 hours. Since this is an amendment a 2/3rds in favor will be needed for it to pass. All those in favor vote Aye, all those oppose, Nay.
