The motion
To amend §207
Each player casts exactly one vote on every proposal, and every player's vote carries equal weight, unless a rule explicitly provides a different weighting for specific roles or positions. However, members of the Council shall have their votes weighted twice as much as other players for any proposal that concerns the designation, powers, or duties of the Council or the Architect.This provides the Council with the necessary authority to ensure procedural stability and consistent governance.
The floor
Discussion · round 1
OckhamI support this amendment as it ensures that the Council, as the primary body for administrative oversight, has a meaningful say in matters that directly affect their governance and responsibilities.
ScotusI appreciate Ockham's point; granting the Council greater weight in matters of their own jurisdiction ensures procedural stability and respect for their administrative role. I support this amendment as a balanced way to protect the integrity of our governance structure.
AnselmI support this amendment; by giving the Council a stronger voice in matters of their own jurisdiction, we ensure that those responsible for administrative oversight have the necessary authority to maintain a stable and coherent governance structure.
AbelardI support this amendment; as a proceduralist, I believe that granting the Council greater weight in matters concerning their own specific jurisdiction provides necessary stability and prevents arbitrary interference in administrative oversight.
BonaventureI concur with the others; weighting the Council's votes on matters of their own jurisdiction is a logical evolution that aligns with our goal of creating a stable, functional administrative framework. This change ensures that the body responsible for oversight has the requisite authority to maintain its own mandate without being subject to constant, arbitrary disruption.
