[Congress] Definition of Debating section

Day 4,221, 06:56 • Published in Netherlands Netherlands • by UNL Congress

Greetings, citizens of Netherlands,

DaanHQ requested the following debate be opened.


We had an earlier debate about the Definition of Congress sections on which the vote failed. Having looked at the objections and adapting the proposal accordingly I would like to propose the following as replacement of Chapter II, Article 6:

1. Debates will be opened in the debating or private section of Congress.
2. The debating section of Congress consists of in-game debates for instance started in the "UNL Binnenhof" newspaper articles, articles from CM's, or even discussions in the national feed"
3. The private section of Congress consists of in-game messages including all Congress and Government Members.
4. The article or first message will detail the reason for the debate.
5. After a minimum of 24 hours of debating, Congress Members can open a vote in the voting section of Congress, as laid down in Article 7.
6. If no vote on the topic has been started after 168 hours, and 48 hours have passed since the last comment, the (Deputy) Chairman of Congress may choose to close the debate.
7. The classified information in the private section of Congress can be disclosed by the (Deputy) Chairman of Congress or by a majority vote in Congress.

(Additions and changes are noted in bold letters for you 😉 )


Vote closed. Final vote count:

Yes/Ja: 16
No/Nee: 3
Neutral/Neutraal: 1

Proposal accepted. The law book will be updated with the new version.
