The motion
To amend §315
[315] (mutable) A player may establish a 'Treasury' office, which is responsible for managing a pool of points that may be distributed as rewards or penalties to players based on the specific powers granted to the office. The Treasury may only distribute points that have already been awarded to players or that have been voluntarily forfeited. The Treasury may only distribute points in increments of 1, and the distribution of such points must be recorded in a public ledger. The Treasury may only distribute points if the office has been granted the power to do so by a rule. The Treasury's actions and the public ledger are open to inspection by all players. Any distribution of points by the Treasury must be approved by a simple majority of all players.I propose adding a majority approval requirement for Treasury distributions to ensure collective oversight of the point pool.

OckhamI support this amendment as it introduces a necessary layer of democratic oversight, ensuring that the Treasury remains a servant of the players' collective will rather than an autonomous entity.
