APPROVAL POLL: Provinces

[Chieftess]

Discussion was here.

A. 	The domestic leader/equiv., is responsible for conducting 
	and leading discussions on provincial boundaries. Final 
	proposals to be voted upon by the people. All boundaries
	must be defined in a timely manner. Provinces with fewer 
	than 3 cities are run by domestic or equivalent. Governors 
	are appointed by domestic/equiv., and can be subject to a 
	confirmation poll. First province is all known territory 
	and run immediately by an initial governor.

The wording is way off on this one. Plus, does it go in the Constitution or the CoL?

Sorry, I have to vote NO here........

 

[Furiey]

According to this Governor is not an elected position, but appointed by the domestic leader/equiv. This should only be the case when a province is formed mid-term or the position is unfilled/becomes vacant (she says trying to remember what the poll actually said).

 

[Black_Hole]

Voted no for both DZs and Furiey's reason

 

[Donovan Zoi]

How can this incoherent passage be winning approval? Can anyone tell me what the heck it means? There are conflicting ideas, bad grammar, and misguided intent all wrapped up into one run-on paragraph.

Demand more of your nation's document, $COUNTRY_NAME. This one needs to be burned to the ground and reborn.

Well, no one posted a better wording in the discussion thread. It was open... I tried fixing it up without altering it too much. You should know by now that I'm not an expert in legalese.

even you should know that governors arent appointed by the domestic minister

 

[Chieftess]

They used to be when a new provence was created.

I suggest we stop this one early and fix the obvious problem with the appointment clause. It was clearly meant to say the domestic leader appoints a new governor if a province is created mid-term, but that is not what it actually says and this kind of problem is the type which will tie us up in a month of JRs.

Well, why don't you write it up? I'm not the expert in legalese...
