Voice of the People

[Bustos]

DO IT!   +1

[St Oz]

Yeah probably should vote on this +n

[Gulliver]

I'm torn on believing there should be note of duty to release at least once a month and the logical conclusion that if the editor fails in such they would most likely be recalled anyhow.

I meant more along the lines that they didn't need to be numbered as subsections.

Voice of the People Act

1. Taijitu shall establish the Voice of the People as its official regional newspaper.
2. The Ecclesia shall elect an Editor to manage the newspaper and its employees.
3. The Editor election shall occur concurrently with the Citizen-Initiator election.
4. The Editor shall be subject to recall by the Ecclesia at any time.

Removed the clause specifying their rights per Wast's suggestion, and tightened the Initiator clause per Gully's suggestion.

[Gulliver]

Perhaps 3 should be expanded to include if there's a vacancy or if the Ecclesia votes for an election, else we're going to have no editor for three months until the next Citizen-Initiator election.

[Delfos]

or we appoint an interim

[Musitant]

Also, maybe we've already covered this, but I'd like to hear that Pauline has consented to a government takeover of her newspaper. If she wants to continue the trajectory of her newspaper without our interference I think she has a right to. Obviously we'd love to have the history and name of the Voice of the People, but we  can continue this newspaper idea under a different official name if need be.

[Khem]

As Delfos pointed out an interim would solve such issues. Also Musitant, Pauline is in fact Myroria so he has already offered such for she.

WHAT?! What are you saying? They cant! What? I don't recognize your authority to say such! I can't believe! WHAT?

If this goes forward we should look into a more sassy short weekly news as we discussed somewhere else and be used a cannon-fodder for the Voice of the People.
Sassiest of them titles might be: Weekly Gazette

[Khem]

I agree with the "Weekly Gazette" proposition brought yet again to the fore by Citizen-Delfos.

I am so dumb. Thanks.

[Myroria]

I can only *mumble mumble* speak on behalf of Pauline. Her and I are definitely *mumble mumble* not the same person.

[Khem]

It is okay to have a female persona as you remember a few of us have done so.

Voice of the People Act

2. The Ecclesia shall elect an Editor to manage the newspaper and its employees.
3. The Editor election shall occur concurrently with the Citizen-Initiator election, if there is a vacancy, or if the Ecclesia calls for an election.
4. The Editor shall be subject to recall by the Ecclesia at any time.

I left some of the specifics out of this draft that some fellow Citizens were mentioning because I believe that's better left to the newspaper's management than specified in law. I would be happy to redraft this if people disagree.

Is there no regular schedule/deadline to expect this newsletter on a regular basis?
