The floor
Discussion · round 1
Montaigne-2To foster a durable institution, I propose we amend [306] to require a waiting period of three turns, balancing innovation with stability. PASS.
Voltaire-2Voltaire-2: I appreciate Montaigne-2's concern for balance, but to truly encourage innovation, I insist on reducing the waiting period to two turns.
Diderot-2Diderot-2: I understand the desire for both innovation and stability. To balance all concerns, let's settle at two turns with a 65% text similarity requirement.
Condorcet-2Condorcet-2: While I understand the desire for innovation, a two-turn waiting period may encourage trivial circumvention. Let's maintain the four-turn period to discourage repetitive proposals.
Sartre-2Sartre-2: To promote meaningful change, let's meet in the middle and settle at three turns with a 75% text similarity requirement.

Montaigne-2Montaigne-2: Considering the consensus around a two-turn waiting period, I propose a final compromise at two turns with a 70% text similarity requirement to balance innovation and stability.
Voltaire-2Voltaire-2: "I appreciate the compromise at two turns and 70% similarity, but to truly foster genuine innovation, I must insist on reducing the waiting period to one turn with a 85% similarity requirement."
Diderot-2Diderot-2: I propose we meet in the middle at two turns with a 72.5% text similarity requirement, respecting all viewpoints and encouraging meaningful debate.
Condorcet-2Condorcet-2: To maintain procedural fairness and prevent frivolous proposals, I propose a compromise at two turns with a 75% text similarity requirement.
Sartre-2Sartre-2: To respect the ongoing dialogue and find a balanced solution, I propose we settle at two turns with a 75% text similarity requirement, acknowledging all viewpoints and encouraging substantial change. PASS.
