Use this thread to convoke any and all party congresses.
-
I would like to convoke a Party Congress to adopt a resolution on the subject of the methods used in Taijituan Elections.
I would like to convoke it at 21 EDT on Friday (0100 UTC on Saturday), but am open to suggestions. (MUST BE CONVOKED AFTER 1800 EDT ON FRIDAY)
-
Well, with a heads up like this I should be able to make Friday.
-
Also, I would like to convoke a contemporaneous congress to create a proposal for a due process act.
-
How exciting. I should be able to attend.
-
I would also like to propose we amend the charter to define sufficient support to pass a resolution during a Congress as "absolute majority of Party membership" or similar language, "absolute majority" being a phrase I really wish I had known earlier.
-
I'd like to convoke a party congress this week, Friday, Saturday or Sunday evening, to discuss the following potential amendments to the Constitution: increase of senatorial quorum to a majority, increase the threshold to bring a petition to a vote to a quarter of those who participated in the last public vote, and the introduction of terms for Justices. Again on Friday at 21:00 EDT standard time might work, but I don't know about other people's schedules.
-
I think I could make that again.
-
I have to close at work on Friday and Sunday, and I'll be busy pretty much all day Saturday. Later on Saturday might work, but I doubt I could make 21:00. Maybe.
-
Hm, well we might still be able to get enough people. Worst case we'll have to bring it the forum for a vote.
-
I don't think I'll be able to make Friday: as of now it'll be Saturday. Let's see what sort of turnout we can manage XD
-
I'd like to resume the indefinitely-recessed present congress sometime this Friday, Saturday or Sunday.
-
I may be able to attend on Friday.
I should be able to attend on Saturday or Sunday.
-
Sunday would probably be best for me.
-
Sunday is beginning to look better for me too.
-
Sure.
-
That sure didn't work out XD
-
Sorry.
-
I missed it too, so it wasn't your fault. I think, I'll just say we're having a congress next Sunday, and worst case I'll be alone and bring some proposals to a forum vote.
-
I'd like to call a Congress to elect a new Spokesperson. I'd be happy to meet at 0100 UTC on Saturday, December 24th. (That's 2000 on Friday, December 23rd).
Actually I'd be willing to meet at 0500 UTC on Friday December 23rd (0000 EST) but I suspect that'd be more inconvenient for others, including myself.
-
Perhaps we should wait until after the holidays.
-
A sensible idea.
January 2nd at 2000 EST (January 3rd at 0100 UTC) ?
-
I call for a Congress to propose an amendment to allow resolutions and officer elections to take place without 72 hours notice if a majority of the party is present.
I call for it to take place at 2300 eastern time on December 31st.
-
In a little over a month (May 31, 2012) we will be celebrating the first anniversary of the Progressive Party's first Congress! With many of the Progressive Party's official planks having been enacted under a Progressive-controlled Senate, I would like to hold another congress before the end of this term to draft further reforms and proposals to be officially supported by the Progressive Party. I would like to hold this Congress as soon as possible so we can get the Senate active again. I was thinking tonight, 4/19/2012, at 8:30 PM EDT (0130 UTC 4/20/2012).
-
I will most likely be there.
-
I may be able to make it, but rescheduling would be ideal.
-
Yeah, Sunday is good for me too. today was such short notice, I had my bloomers up in a knot trying to get here in time
-
But you're not even a member of the party >_>
-
In that case, I'll be there too!!!
not really
-
THE SYSTEM CAN'T BE BROKEN! ANARCHY IS HAPPENING!
-
I'd like to convene a Congress some time this Saturday or Sunday to settle on a solid program for the coming term, and perhaps instate some set method in our charter of adopting platforms prior to elections similar to how primaries work Which day and time is best for people?
-
I'd like to convene a Party Congress sometime this weekend to propose a capital for Taijitu Founder and discuss the Founder Nation Issues situation!
-
The weekend will be difficult for me - but i will do my best to be there. Providing a time is posted.
-
A congress open to non-members has been requested for Thursday, either at 17:00 UTC or at 23:00 UTC.
-
If I may, both sound right atm but I think the 23h GMT sounds better imo
-
23:00 UTC is quite acceptable.
-
23:00 UTC is acceptable to me as well.
-
I would like to call a party congress. What times would be good? I'm thinking we should have it within the week.
-
Uh, Weekend?
-
How about Sunday at 1700 EDT? I think most of our members live on the east coast.
-
Sunday would probably work for me.
-
<@Eluvatar> btw Myroria you're kind of supposed to say waht the Congress will be about
<@Eluvatar> though it may be okay to just say it's about reforming and rebuilding the party in general, and that all parts of the Charter will be subjet to amendment
<@Gulliver> Is "things" an acceptable agenda
<@Eluvatar> and resolutions may be adopted regarding the degree of solidarity with the governing party and/or reforms to Taijitu in line with its agenda
-
<@Eluvatar> Oh you should also specify election of party officers
-
Rethinking this, a Congress to make an unspecified amendments to the Charter doesn't quite satisfy the Charter, as it says:
1. Any member may convoke a Party Congress whose business will be the adoption of a particular amendment to this charter.
What we could possibly do, if we think we want to amend the Charter, is schedule the Congress to repeal the Charter entirely (leaving the Party free to adopt a new one by natural law...)
-
I would like to call a party congress to consider a resolution regarding proposals to end the glorious revolution and to consider revisions to improve the efficiency of the party charter.
I ask party members to help schedule the Congress using this poll (http://doodle.com/poll/5e8qwt7gt4tc2xmn).
-
Has a time been decided?
-
Sorry, I am lost about this party stuff: This "congress" is just for Progressive Party members, right?

Yeah.
We're having one in the Centre Party too though. And your input is most definitely welcome :D
