Agenda items for current CoE

From the charter of CoE:

The Council shall enact new rules of play, or modify existing rules of play, upon the assent to two thirds majority vote of a quorum. A quorum shall be deemed convened when no less than six out of nine council members vote within the announced time frame. Votes shall be cast either as YEA or as NAY, indicating respectively those in favour of the matter or those not in favour of the matter. Rules enacted or modified shall be ratified only by the affirmative vote of two thirds of the members of metw@silent-tower.org and such persons as shall communicate their vote by email to the Council Registrar or by web form on the egroups site. Ratified rules, be they enacted or modified, shall come into force 30 days following the last vote establishing ratification.

You guys can't arbitarliy change the game rules without break the CoE Charter. It must be voted against by the user base or a new charter would have to be established.

And so it shall be done. Which concern are you actually voicing?

Sauron · Mon Aug 16, 2010 5:03 pm

I just see alot of rule changes from Auto Attacks, to Balrog, etc that you guys are discussing. You guys can and come up with ideas, but unless it's ratified by the community as per the charter, it can't take effect.

If you've seen the discussions on those changes, why not have a look at the discussion on charter and community support?

On the other hand, at least it got you posting.

Amending the charter is a possibility.

Besides which, ratification is only necessary if the CoE first votes and approves errata. Once we approve one, then we can send it to the mailing list, unless we've amended the charter in the meantime.

I would assume a charter amendment would have to be ratified by the community as well. I have not viewed the charter in how to amend it though.

I could but then I wouldn't get to argue as much, and I do enjoy me some arguing!

In all honesty I'll give it a once over when I have more time. I just kept seeing posts which in which stuff I said in the past was being brought up, so I thought I'd reiterate some of those thoughs
