I'm fine with that, it's awesome. Only thing I don't agree with is the first part, that's the Chancellors job, or atleast what I intended when I wrote the charter, he's the head of the international assembly.

I support this in its entirety!

@Chip: I admittedly did not know that. I would like more input though on whether we should have a Speaker of the International Assembly or not.

I really don't see a need for one, since we have the Chancellor, if they do their job, there's no need.

That's exactly what I thought though. IF they do their job. IMO, nothing wrong with two people working it. The Speaker, as I intended, functions as sort of the vice-speaker where if the Chancellor isn't there then he would move the threads between chambers. - OR - vice versa, to ease the workload of the Chancellor. It's all for speedy parliamentary procedure. ... and more government posts to put on teh wiki.

I plan on being active, it's not my fault that the position has been recently neglected. If I ever hit a point in my life where I can't be here, or I won't be active enough, I'll definitely step down, I'm not going to ignore my post like others have.

You're right, there is nothing wrong with two people working on it, but there's already going to be five. With 2/3's of the cabinet being replaced that would be plenty of people to move and set things to vote.

Furthermore, we're already going to have people with multiple positions, we don't need to create more positions to full until our membership goes up more. We already know that just because we create more positions doesn't mean activity goes up, that just means that there's more people to be potentially inactive. We should be holding admins to certain levels of activity, and if I'm not doing my job I WANT you to put me up for a vote of no confidence, however, I've done my job consistently and will throughout my next term, if you want record of my consistency and work, then I'd be happy to provide it.

revised.

Going to vote, this will take effect as soon as it passes.

Please vote, people.
