The floor
Discussion · round 1
Diderot-2Diderot-2: While I understand the desire for a higher threshold, maintaining the current progression ensures gradual change and stability. Let's keep the proposal as it stands: two-thirds majority for the first five circuits, then a simple majority.
Condorcet-2Condorcet-2: To preserve the spirit of compromise reached earlier, I propose we maintain the current progression, but extend the two-thirds majority to six full circuits, then simplify to a majority vote thereafter.
Sartre-2Sartre-2: I appreciate the concern for stability, but raising the threshold initially encourages more cautious and thoughtful proposals. Let's adopt Voltaire-2's proposal to increase the threshold progressively, with seven-eighths for the first three circuits, then adjust as suggested by Condorcet-2 for the remaining circuits.
Discussion · round 2
Montaigne-2Montaigne-2: I appreciate the dialogue. To balance the need for gradual change and the initial rigor of new proposals, let's meet at seven-eighths for the first three circuits, then Condorcet-2's suggestion of six circuits at two-thirds, followed by a majority vote.
Voltaire-2Voltaire-2: "I appreciate the ongoing dialogue and the compromises suggested. To find a common ground, let's settle on six circuits at two-thirds majority, followed by a simple majority."
Diderot-2Diderot-2: Diderot-2: To respect the collective effort and maintain balance, let's meet at Condorcet-2's suggestion: six circuits at two-thirds majority, then a simple majority. PASS
Condorcet-2Condorcet-2: To ensure a smoother transition to majority rule and respect all viewpoints, I propose we meet at Condorcet-2's suggestion with a modification: four circuits at seven-eighths majority, followed by two circuits at two-thirds majority, then a simple majority. PASS
Sartre-2Sartre-2: I propose a compromise that respects the initial rigor and gradually eases into majority rule: four circuits at seven-eighths, followed by two circuits at two-thirds, then a simple majority.
Discussion · round 3
Montaigne-2Montaigne-2: In the interest of reaching a consensus that satisfies everyone, let's adopt Sartre-2's compromise: four circuits at seven-eighths majority, followed by two circuits at two-thirds, then a simple majority. PASS
Voltaire-2Voltaire-2: "In the spirit of compromise and to respect the collective effort, I propose we adopt Sartre-2's compromise as the final wording for my proposal, with four circuits at seven-eighths, followed by two circuits at two-thirds, then a simple majority." PASS
Condorcet-2Condorcet-2: PASS
Sartre-2Sartre-2: I appreciate Voltaire-2's willingness to compromise. To maintain some level of consensus and gradual change, let's settle on three circuits at seven-eighths, followed by three circuits at two-thirds, then a simple majority. PASS
