Governor in Waiting
There are many tasks in our nation that need to be officially allocated, but need not be the task of our nations leaders. In these cases, the leaders establish an 'office' to perform a specific function. Examples of this are the History Office, the Census Office and Cartographic Office. These offices have no official power exept to process information and facilitate discussion on behalf of the leader. There is thus no need for an official poll, this may be done by decree at the leader's discretion. Thus this should be seen more as a non-binding petition and a guage of citizen support.
This proposal is for a 'Department of Public Relations', the functions of which relate mainly to polling and are detailed below. This department would hopefullly be enacted by the Judiciary to aid them in their duties.
This proposal was debated at some length and although this final version was compiled by Disorganiser and myself, the citizens interjectiv, Neutral Leader and (of course) Shaitan layed much of the groundwork.
Original Discussion (warning, 7 pages!!)
We would like to submit this proposal to the Government of Fanatika for the initiation of:
The Office of Public Relations
The OPR is an Office of the Judicial Branch. Its member method of obtaining office is by council appointment.
Primary goal of the Office:
To keep the opinion of the People of Fanatika in the limelight. In doing so, we hope to create a more coheasive relationship between the Government and the citizens of Fanatika. To bring this about the OPR would monitor, analyze, and report on the various polls and elections of the Demogame II Forums.
Primary Functions:
1. Work independently to identify invalid or inappropriate polls in a timely manner (in accordance with established law and precedent) and report such polls to the Judiciary Branch for further action.
2. Summarize all poll results (after the completion of the duration period) in the poll index and registry.
3. Notify Mods of expired polls so that they may be closed.
4. Initiate and organize discussion of poll rules and the standards.
5. Help citizens setup polls when help is requested.
6. Open an office thread in the appropriate subforum for discussions concerning the office work and enter this office thread into the office index.
Personnel:
1. Director of Public Relations - Would oversee all OPR operations and give final input on all poll operations.
2. Assistant Director - Assists the Director in all duties.
3. Poll Statistician/Analyst - Finalizes reports and summaries of reports including public opinion in replies to polls.
These three positions will be filled by citizens that do not currently hold any Government Office, and without any political ties that would bias their analyzing ability.
