Recognizing that the Microwiki is larger than Shireroth, though still within its control, the Duchy of Brookshire proposes the following:1. The Microwiki requires administration, which is currently provided by the Shirithian establishment. Seeing no problems with the current administration, Greater Brookshire asks that it be left in place.2. The Microwiki is an international establishment, much the same as the MCS, the Apollo Foundation, the MNN, or the preceding Microwiki. Thus, Greater Brookshire recognizes the need for foreign administration as well as Shirithian.3. Greater Brookshire therefore proposes that a governing body for the Microwiki be created, consistting of representatives from contributing nations who wish to have administrative powers. However, recognizing Shireroth's financial contributions to the Wiki, this body will be led by a citizen of Shireroth and only Shireroth.4. In addition, members of this governing body must be citizens of Shireroth as well as citizens of their representative countries. This is to ensure that the Kaisership and the Landsraad still maintain legislative powers over the Wiki's governing body, yet still do not have the Wiki under direct control.5. Should representatives fail to maintain activity in Shireroth or the Wiki, the Shirithian leader of the governing body shall retain the power and the right to remove their administrative Wiki powers at any time. Furthermore, the Shirithian leader also retains the power and the right to appoint new administrators, the power and the right to ban members, and the power and the right to remove administrative powers, all for any reason and at any time.6. The Shirithian leader and all members of the governing body, as Shirithian citizens, all answer to the Kaiser, the Landsraad, the Ministers, and the Dukes of Shireroth as any other citizen would.7. Neither the Kaiser nor the Landsraad shall be able to pass legislation or decree regarding the Wiki's governance or regulations. However, the Kaiser and Landsraad retain the power and the right to pass legislation regarding the governing body of the Wiki.8. The responsibilities of the Wiki's governing body are:..1. Maintain the Wiki's neutrality..2. Enforce regulations set down by the governing body..3. Create and remove Wiki regulation..4. Promote Wiki growth Viatax Sitadi Axdivijink RegigoraaukEdited by: Fax Celestis  at: 9/24/05 20:24

I'm still voting nay, and you're still wrong Fax. I agree with Scott's reasoning in the Front Gate. There are no flowers, no not this time. There will be no angels gracing the lines, just these stark words I find.

[Gryphon the Pure]

Take out the part where the leader can remove citizenship and I'm fine. Nobody should be able to affect Shirithian citizenship but the Kaiser and the Minister of Immigration.Also, I don't think it's necessary that all members be Shirithian citizens, especially if we're trying to move toward uni-cit regulations. I think it's only necessary that the leader be a Shirithian citizen, and I don't even think it's necessary that Shireroth be the leader's only citizenship.On the other hand, there should be provision that if there be no Shirithian members of the governing committee, that someone be appointed from Shireroth, be it by the body or by the Shirithian government; whatever.

[Fax Celestis]

The point of it consisting of dual citizens was to make it international, yet still have all the members subordinate to the Kaiser.The removal of citizenship was a clause I included to prevent people from claiming to be Shirithian citizens without being active.I'll see what others have to say before doing any editing.

It's an unnecessary clause. If people are abusing their priviledges as citizen of Shireroth, then it should be the Kaiser's or MiniImNat's problem anyway. Edited by: Gryphon the Pure at: 9/24/05 18:36

Despite me just declaring my voting gone, I strongly suggest that my steward vote nay on the grounds that creating a council for the wiki made up of foreign advisors not only creates useless legislature, but pretty much removes any merit from being given modship because of one's interest in the wiki. They call it a signature, but no one ever signs their posts...

[Shyriath]

Hmmmm. Well, I do like this better... but the dual citizenship requirement, I think, will cause problems. Since not all contributing nations will necessarily have Shirerithian dual-cits already, that means that some of them will have to get their citizens also involved in Shireroth. Those nations who wish to participate but have one-cit-only laws would have to consider exemptions to their policies; even those who don't are likely to protest at the notion. After all, each of them would end up risking that their representative, a productive citizen, would be less active at home and spending their time on the wiki and in Shireroth. And while I'm all for getting new citizens, dual or not, I'm not sure many nations will sign on to the idea just for representation in the wiki's governing body.Still, other than that, I think I like it. So, perhaps, instead of requiring the dual-cit thing, it might be simpler and cause fewer problems simply to declare that the wiki is considered to be based in Shirerithian territory, if you will. Although members of other nations may join the governing body, in doing so they will be under the jurisdiction of Shirerithian law because they are "in" Shireroth, even if the wiki does not legally belong TO Shireroth.
