I would personally prefer to release it as a "periodical" like it is now. I would hate to stick to a strict schedule and be forced to release issues that don't cover any major issues.

So an editor can be elected and never actually produce an edition?  What obligates the position to perform their job and provide grounds for removal?

Presumably we can trust the Ecclesia to recall an incompetent editor using the power reserved to them in section 4.

I still feel a condition of producing an edition by a certain time period after taking office should be added.

Otherwise, what difference does this legislation make compared to the current set up?

But if I am the only one that feels this way, then don't mind me.   :shrug:

In that case, if there are no other objections I would like to move this to a vote.

Seconded. I'll give it a couple more days for any additional discussion, then move it to vote.

If you require an edition within a static timeframe, then for that to be meaningful you have to require it to be a meaningful edition, at which point the law gets more and more onerous and potentially overly restrictive.

I think it's best to leave oversight to the Ecclesia itself.

I defer to the wisdom of the Ecclesia.    :taijitu:

I know this is a bit late, (I have already voted myself) but the Lindisfarne delegate would humbly like to point out that for gramattical reasons ยง3 shold read:  The Editor election shall occur: concurrently with the Citizen-Initiator election; or, if there is a vacancy; or, if the Ecclesia calls for an election.
