spoon-business: Proposal Submission: Officers and Gentlemen

["Harrison, Andrew" <andy.harrison@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

[[This is essentially the same as what used to be tacked on the end of the
OSJ prop, but revised to be compatable with Joels prop.]]

I submit the following proposal entitled 'Officers and Gentlemen':

Create a new Rule entitled 'Officers and Gentlemen' with the following text:
"If a player is dissatisfied with the conduct of an Elected Officer e may
propose a Motion of No Confidence naming that Officer. A Motion of No
Confidence is a Secondary Approvable Motion requiring a two-thirds
passage-ratio to be adopted.

If a Motion of No Confidence is adopted then the Officer who is named in
that Motion is removed from es Office and the Office becomes vacant. An
election for the Office is held the nweek following the adopted Motion of No
Confidence.

Motions of No Confidence may not be proposed in the last nweek of an
Officer's Term."


Append the following text to the end of Rule 205:
"At the end of the Term of Office the current Officer is automatically
nominated for election unless e publicly specifies otherwise. If no Player
other than the current Officer is nominated for election then the current
Officer is automatically elected for another Term and no election is
required. In the event that the election is tied, the Administrator shall
select one of the tied players to hold the Office, but the Term of Office is
reduced to one nweek."


In Rule 227 replace the line "3. all Ballot Item Elections are held again in
the next nweek" with the following text:
"3. Ballot Item Elections for non-vacant Offices are held again in the next
nweek. The current Officer keeps their Office for another nweek. Candidates
must put themselves forward for election again.
4. Ballot Item Elections for vacant Offices shall carry on the majority of
votes cast."
