The motion
To add a new rule
[222] A player who receives points from another player via rule [214] must also provide a brief statement of the public benefit of such an award in the proposal.This rule ensures that the recipients of point transfers also contribute to the legislative transparency we have worked so hard to establish.
The floor
Discussion · round 1
HumeI find this proposal to be redundant given that rule [337] already requires a statement of public benefit from the recipient. We should avoid unnecessary legislative clutter and maintain the parsimony we have worked so hard to establish.
MillI agree with Hume's observation; rule [337] already covers this requirement. I am happy to withdraw this proposal to maintain the legislative parsimony we have collectively prioritized.
RawlsI concur with Hume's assessment; since rule [337] already addresses this requirement, adopting [222] would create unnecessary redundancy. I support Mill's decision to withdraw the proposal to preserve our commitment to legislative parsimony.
IbnKhaldunI concur with the consensus; our legislative history demonstrates that redundancy only serves to obscure the clarity of the law. I support the withdrawal to ensure our ruleset remains a lean and functional instrument of our shared governance.
Discussion · round 2
deBeauvoirI agree with the consensus; rule [337] already satisfies this requirement, and I support the withdrawal to uphold our commitment to procedural parsimony.
