[color=DarkOliveGreen:2w1z8ahm][i:2w1z8ahm]Jon Seattle nods[/i:2w1z8ahm][/color:2w1z8ahm]
[color=Black:2w1z8ahm][b:2w1z8ahm]Patroklus Murakami[/b:2w1z8ahm]: it was intended as a general discussion rather than on the specific proposal from claude[/color:2w1z8ahm]
[color=DarkSlateBlue:2w1z8ahm][b:2w1z8ahm]Ranma Tardis[/b:2w1z8ahm]: can someone take moons proxy?[/color:2w1z8ahm]
[color=DarkGreen:2w1z8ahm][b:2w1z8ahm]Gwyneth Llewelyn[/b:2w1z8ahm]: Hm no.[/color:2w1z8ahm]
[color=DarkOliveGreen:2w1z8ahm][b:2w1z8ahm]Jon Seattle[/b:2w1z8ahm]: We can go to five day however.[/color:2w1z8ahm]
[color=DarkOliveGreen:2w1z8ahm][b:2w1z8ahm]Jon Seattle[/b:2w1z8ahm]: That is if Moon requests.[/color:2w1z8ahm]
[color=DarkGreen:2w1z8ahm][i:2w1z8ahm]Gwyneth Llewelyn *nods*[/i:2w1z8ahm][/color:2w1z8ahm]
[color=Black:2w1z8ahm][b:2w1z8ahm]Patroklus Murakami[/b:2w1z8ahm]: So.. 3a- referenda. i see that the RA has discussed this a couple of times but is not nearer a conclusion. wd it help to work thru the qns i posed to structure discussion? they're on the notecard[/color:2w1z8ahm]
[color=DarkOliveGreen:2w1z8ahm][i:2w1z8ahm]Jon Seattle reads[/i:2w1z8ahm][/color:2w1z8ahm]
[color=DarkGreen:2w1z8ahm][i:2w1z8ahm]Gwyneth Llewelyn reads the notecarrd as well[/i:2w1z8ahm][/color:2w1z8ahm]
[color=Sienna:2w1z8ahm][b:2w1z8ahm]Moon Adamant[/b:2w1z8ahm]: well, they will have quorum, and even quorum for amendments[/color:2w1z8ahm]
[color=Sienna:2w1z8ahm][b:2w1z8ahm]Moon Adamant[/b:2w1z8ahm]: i have to go and make an hospital visit, and i am not sure if i can be back in time[/color:2w1z8ahm]
[color=Black:2w1z8ahm][b:2w1z8ahm]Patroklus Murakami[/b:2w1z8ahm]: but u can request five day voting for all issues moon. that way your vote is not lost[/color:2w1z8ahm]
[color=DarkSlateBlue:2w1z8ahm][b:2w1z8ahm]Ranma Tardis[/b:2w1z8ahm]: hope you are not feeling unwell[/color:2w1z8ahm]
[color=DarkGreen:2w1z8ahm][b:2w1z8ahm]Gwyneth Llewelyn[/b:2w1z8ahm]: btw I won't be there tomorrow either[/color:2w1z8ahm]
[color=Sienna:2w1z8ahm][b:2w1z8ahm]Moon Adamant[/b:2w1z8ahm]: thanks Ranma, not me, but someone close[/color:2w1z8ahm]
[color=Black:2w1z8ahm][b:2w1z8ahm]Patroklus Murakami[/b:2w1z8ahm]: and i *can* make it tomoro for a change [/color:2w1z8ahm]
[color=DarkSlateBlue:2w1z8ahm][b:2w1z8ahm]Ranma Tardis[/b:2w1z8ahm]: hope they recover[/color:2w1z8ahm]
[color=Black:2w1z8ahm][b:2w1z8ahm]Patroklus Murakami[/b:2w1z8ahm]: i'm sorry to hear that moon[/color:2w1z8ahm]
[color=Sienna:2w1z8ahm][b:2w1z8ahm]Moon Adamant[/b:2w1z8ahm]: thank you [/color:2w1z8ahm]
[color=DarkGreen:2w1z8ahm][b:2w1z8ahm]Gwyneth Llewelyn[/b:2w1z8ahm]: Anyway... hmm....[/color:2w1z8ahm]
[color=Black:2w1z8ahm][b:2w1z8ahm]Patroklus Murakami[/b:2w1z8ahm]: i fear this proposal is never going to reach the code[/color:2w1z8ahm]
[color=DarkGreen:2w1z8ahm][b:2w1z8ahm]Gwyneth Llewelyn[/b:2w1z8ahm]: thanks for those questions, Pat[/color:2w1z8ahm]
[color=Sienna:2w1z8ahm][b:2w1z8ahm]Moon Adamant[/b:2w1z8ahm]: well pat[/color:2w1z8ahm]
[color=DarkGreen:2w1z8ahm][b:2w1z8ahm]Gwyneth Llewelyn[/b:2w1z8ahm]: I tend to agree with you hehe[/color:2w1z8ahm]
[color=DarkGreen:2w1z8ahm][b:2w1z8ahm]Gwyneth Llewelyn[/b:2w1z8ahm]: the questions are not "answered" yet, or rather, the answers to them still differ e lot.[/color:2w1z8ahm]
[color=Sienna:2w1z8ahm][b:2w1z8ahm]Moon Adamant[/b:2w1z8ahm]: you know, the proposal for discusiion on mail about work committees is justluy so that we reach an impasse on this[/color:2w1z8ahm]
[color=DarkGreen:2w1z8ahm][b:2w1z8ahm]Gwyneth Llewelyn[/b:2w1z8ahm]: ie.e. each person answers them differently.[/color:2w1z8ahm]
[color=Sienna:2w1z8ahm][b:2w1z8ahm]Moon Adamant[/b:2w1z8ahm]: justly in that case*[/color:2w1z8ahm]
[color=DarkOliveGreen:2w1z8ahm][b:2w1z8ahm]Jon Seattle[/b:2w1z8ahm]: Yes, I very much hope that person recovers and will be thinking good thoughts.[/color:2w1z8ahm]
[color=Sienna:2w1z8ahm][b:2w1z8ahm]Moon Adamant[/b:2w1z8ahm]: that is, to allow citizens to get in the consultive process anyway[/color:2w1z8ahm]
[color=Black:2w1z8ahm][b:2w1z8ahm]Patroklus Murakami[/b:2w1z8ahm]: hmm. impossible to get a consensus then? there's too many quns to answer?[/color:2w1z8ahm]
[color=DarkGreen:2w1z8ahm][b:2w1z8ahm]Gwyneth Llewelyn[/b:2w1z8ahm]: Well, at least you're asking the correct ones![/color:2w1z8ahm]
[color=Sienna:2w1z8ahm][b:2w1z8ahm]Moon Adamant[/b:2w1z8ahm]: as regards this referenda thing strictly[/color:2w1z8ahm]
[color=Sienna:2w1z8ahm][b:2w1z8ahm]Moon Adamant[/b:2w1z8ahm]: i still can't conclude for any definite logical advantage of either position[/color:2w1z8ahm]
[color=DarkGreen:2w1z8ahm][b:2w1z8ahm]Gwyneth Llewelyn[/b:2w1z8ahm]: I tend to agree with Moon: if we have *different* mechanisms for direct citizen participation,[/color:2w1z8ahm]
[color=DarkGreen:2w1z8ahm][b:2w1z8ahm]Gwyneth Llewelyn[/b:2w1z8ahm]: a referenda wouldnot be felt as "needed":[/color:2w1z8ahm]
[color=Black:2w1z8ahm][b:2w1z8ahm]Patroklus Murakami[/b:2w1z8ahm]: do u mean on the first qn moon? whether to have them or not?[/color:2w1z8ahm]
[color=Sienna:2w1z8ahm][b:2w1z8ahm]Moon Adamant[/b:2w1z8ahm]: YES[/color:2w1z8ahm]
[color=Sienna:2w1z8ahm][b:2w1z8ahm]Moon Adamant[/b:2w1z8ahm]: oops, sorry[/color:2w1z8ahm]
[color=DarkGreen:2w1z8ahm][b:2w1z8ahm]Gwyneth Llewelyn[/b:2w1z8ahm]: ie. having "constitutional committees" working things out, and having them "free to join" by any willing citizen[/color:2w1z8ahm]
[color=Sienna:2w1z8ahm][b:2w1z8ahm]Moon Adamant[/b:2w1z8ahm]: i am afraid important issues may fail to pass[/color:2w1z8ahm]
[color=Sienna:2w1z8ahm][b:2w1z8ahm]Moon Adamant[/b:2w1z8ahm]: also, the committeee proposal also allows for specilized input to help the RA[/color:2w1z8ahm]
[color=DarkSlateBlue:2w1z8ahm][b:2w1z8ahm]Ranma Tardis[/b:2w1z8ahm]: as things stand now the citizens are being left out of the decision making and before you answer faction meetings we are the only one to do so[/color:2w1z8ahm]
[color=DarkGreen:2w1z8ahm][b:2w1z8ahm]Gwyneth Llewelyn[/b:2w1z8ahm]: All sorts of input, really. From the common citizen who wants to be heard,[/color:2w1z8ahm]
[color=Sienna:2w1z8ahm][b:2w1z8ahm]Moon Adamant[/b:2w1z8ahm]: which i, at least, would like to have in some areas[/color:2w1z8ahm]
[color=DarkGreen:2w1z8ahm][b:2w1z8ahm]Gwyneth Llewelyn[/b:2w1z8ahm]: to the specialist who needs to give advice[/color:2w1z8ahm]
[color=Sienna:2w1z8ahm][b:2w1z8ahm]Moon Adamant[/b:2w1z8ahm]: indeed[/color:2w1z8ahm]
[color=DarkGreen:2w1z8ahm][b:2w1z8ahm]Gwyneth Llewelyn[/b:2w1z8ahm]: Yes...[/color:2w1z8ahm]
[color=DarkOliveGreen:2w1z8ahm][b:2w1z8ahm]Jon Seattle[/b:2w1z8ahm]: yes, I like Moon's proposal very much.[/color:2w1z8ahm]
[color=Sienna:2w1z8ahm][b:2w1z8ahm]Moon Adamant[/b:2w1z8ahm]: you see, i fear, as pat said, that we'll be stuck for ever in this referenda thing[/color:2w1z8ahm]
[color=DarkGreen:2w1z8ahm][b:2w1z8ahm]Gwyneth Llewelyn[/b:2w1z8ahm]: Well, you know what I think about the referenda, so I'm biased. On the other hand, I do worry about the lack of input from citizens in some cases ? and this would allow, through Moon's proposal, that citizens would be able to make "binding decisions"[/color:2w1z8ahm]
[color=Sienna:2w1z8ahm][b:2w1z8ahm]Moon Adamant[/b:2w1z8ahm]: and that is bad - first, because no participation , and second[/color:2w1z8ahm]
[color=Black:2w1z8ahm][b:2w1z8ahm]Patroklus Murakami[/b:2w1z8ahm]: well, the motive for this proposal was not principally citizen involvement, but a means to avoid the removal of the SCs powers to defend the constitution. but i'm intrigued by the idea that we could involve citizens more actively[/color:2w1z8ahm]
[color=Sienna:2w1z8ahm][b:2w1z8ahm]Moon Adamant[/b:2w1z8ahm]: because it is a challenge on the validity of the RA decisions[/color:2w1z8ahm]
[color=Black:2w1z8ahm][b:2w1z8ahm]Patroklus Murakami[/b:2w1z8ahm]: referenda are a rather passive way to do that[/color:2w1z8ahm]
[color=Sienna:2w1z8ahm][b:2w1z8ahm]Moon Adamant[/b:2w1z8ahm]: indeed[/color:2w1z8ahm]
[color=DarkGreen:2w1z8ahm][i:2w1z8ahm]Gwyneth Llewelyn *nods* @ agrees at passivity[/i:2w1z8ahm][/color:2w1z8ahm]
[color=DarkGreen:2w1z8ahm][b:2w1z8ahm]Gwyneth Llewelyn[/b:2w1z8ahm]: we should encourage pro-active citizen participation![/color:2w1z8ahm]
[color=Sienna:2w1z8ahm][b:2w1z8ahm]Moon Adamant[/b:2w1z8ahm]: and as you see, the SPC has been working well[/color:2w1z8ahm]
[color=DarkGreen:2w1z8ahm][i:2w1z8ahm]Gwyneth Llewelyn *bangs fist on the table* [/i:2w1z8ahm][/color:2w1z8ahm]
[color=DarkGreen:2w1z8ahm][b:2w1z8ahm]Gwyneth Llewelyn[/b:2w1z8ahm]: hehe[/color:2w1z8ahm]
[color=Sienna:2w1z8ahm][b:2w1z8ahm]Moon Adamant[/b:2w1z8ahm]: though the SPC is an 'executive' committee, and these would be consultive[/color:2w1z8ahm]
[color=DarkGreen:2w1z8ahm][b:2w1z8ahm]Gwyneth Llewelyn[/b:2w1z8ahm]: Sorry. I got excited for a moment, it won't happen again [/color:2w1z8ahm]
[color=Black:2w1z8ahm][b:2w1z8ahm]Patroklus Murakami[/b:2w1z8ahm]: oh my! gwyn goes kruschchev [/color:2w1z8ahm]
[color=DarkGreen:2w1z8ahm][b:2w1z8ahm]Gwyneth Llewelyn[/b:2w1z8ahm]: ROFL ![/color:2w1z8ahm]
[color=DarkOliveGreen:2w1z8ahm][b:2w1z8ahm]Jon Seattle[/b:2w1z8ahm]: Yes, I think that in many cases people's opinions are less considered in a mass referenda than in a smaller group where they have the opportunity to examine issues carefully.[/color:2w1z8ahm]
[color=DarkGreen:2w1z8ahm][b:2w1z8ahm]Gwyneth Llewelyn[/b:2w1z8ahm]: Indeed, Jon.[/color:2w1z8ahm]
[color=Sienna:2w1z8ahm][b:2w1z8ahm]Moon Adamant[/b:2w1z8ahm]: yup, it is really that[/color:2w1z8ahm]
[color=DarkGreen:2w1z8ahm][b:2w1z8ahm]Gwyneth Llewelyn[/b:2w1z8ahm]: Also, this model allows for a certain "spontaneity" as well ? citizens just come together, they discuss constitutional changes, they propose (together) a solution,[/color:2w1z8ahm]
[color=DarkGreen:2w1z8ahm][b:2w1z8ahm]Gwyneth Llewelyn[/b:2w1z8ahm]: and this gets validated by the RA[/color:2w1z8ahm]
[color=Black:2w1z8ahm][b:2w1z8ahm]Patroklus Murakami[/b:2w1z8ahm]: so let's kill the referenda idea and work up proposals for active citizen involvement instead[/color:2w1z8ahm]
[color=DarkGreen:2w1z8ahm][i:2w1z8ahm]Gwyneth Llewelyn cheers[/i:2w1z8ahm][/color:2w1z8ahm]
[color=DarkGreen:2w1z8ahm][b:2w1z8ahm]Gwyneth Llewelyn[/b:2w1z8ahm]: Da![/color:2w1z8ahm]
[color=DarkOliveGreen:2w1z8ahm][b:2w1z8ahm]Jon Seattle[/b:2w1z8ahm]: Yea![/color:2w1z8ahm]
[color=DarkGreen:2w1z8ahm][b:2w1z8ahm]Gwyneth Llewelyn[/b:2w1z8ahm]: I mean, "aye!"[/color:2w1z8ahm]
[color=Sienna:2w1z8ahm][b:2w1z8ahm]Moon Adamant[/b:2w1z8ahm]: ah gwyn, not only for const matter, but also for regular legislative issues[/color:2w1z8ahm]
[color=DarkOliveGreen:2w1z8ahm][b:2w1z8ahm]Jon Seattle[/b:2w1z8ahm]: that too.[/color:2w1z8ahm]
[color=Sienna:2w1z8ahm][b:2w1z8ahm]Moon Adamant[/b:2w1z8ahm]: lol[/color:2w1z8ahm]
[color=DarkGreen:2w1z8ahm][b:2w1z8ahm]Gwyneth Llewelyn[/b:2w1z8ahm]: I agree, Moon, of course.[/color:2w1z8ahm]
[color=Black:2w1z8ahm][b:2w1z8ahm]Patroklus Murakami[/b:2w1z8ahm]: let's keep ahead of our schedule then and move on to 3b - guild reform[/color:2w1z8ahm]

[color=Black:2w1z8ahm][b:2w1z8ahm]Patroklus Murakami[/b:2w1z8ahm]: yes, moon?[/color:2w1z8ahm]

[color=Sienna:2w1z8ahm][b:2w1z8ahm]Moon Adamant[/b:2w1z8ahm]: i have a comment here as well, but maybe Jon wants to speak first[/color:2w1z8ahm]
[color=Black:2w1z8ahm][b:2w1z8ahm]Patroklus Murakami[/b:2w1z8ahm]: did everyone get a chance to read my last email on this? i replied to jon's a few hours ago[/color:2w1z8ahm]
[color=DarkOliveGreen:2w1z8ahm][b:2w1z8ahm]Jon Seattle[/b:2w1z8ahm]: Yes, and thanks Pat[/color:2w1z8ahm]
[color=Sienna:2w1z8ahm][b:2w1z8ahm]Moon Adamant[/b:2w1z8ahm]: sorry, no [/color:2w1z8ahm]
[color=DarkGreen:2w1z8ahm][b:2w1z8ahm]Gwyneth Llewelyn[/b:2w1z8ahm]: I did... [/color:2w1z8ahm]
[color=Black:2w1z8ahm][b:2w1z8ahm]Patroklus Murakami[/b:2w1z8ahm]: well, over to jon to reply/introduce[/color:2w1z8ahm]
[color=DarkOliveGreen:2w1z8ahm][b:2w1z8ahm]Jon Seattle[/b:2w1z8ahm]: I consider building and citizen education among the most important things we do in CDS[/color:2w1z8ahm]
[color=DarkOliveGreen:2w1z8ahm][b:2w1z8ahm]Jon Seattle[/b:2w1z8ahm]: I think we have gotten lost in other issues, to the point that we are really giving second priority to these.[/color:2w1z8ahm]
[color=Black:2w1z8ahm][b:2w1z8ahm]Patroklus Murakami[/b:2w1z8ahm]: hear, hear [/color:2w1z8ahm]
[color=DarkOliveGreen:2w1z8ahm][b:2w1z8ahm]Jon Seattle[/b:2w1z8ahm]: I would like to see us revive the Guild in a new framework, to bring together our experts in design[/color:2w1z8ahm]
[color=DarkOliveGreen:2w1z8ahm][b:2w1z8ahm]Jon Seattle[/b:2w1z8ahm]: and to provide the means for any citizen who wants to, to gain these skills.[/color:2w1z8ahm]
[color=DarkOliveGreen:2w1z8ahm][b:2w1z8ahm]Jon Seattle[/b:2w1z8ahm]: As a community we need this for growth.[/color:2w1z8ahm]
[color=DarkGreen:2w1z8ahm][b:2w1z8ahm]Gwyneth Llewelyn[/b:2w1z8ahm]: As a nation, we need it to affirm our status in excellence and quality.[/color:2w1z8ahm]
[color=DarkOliveGreen:2w1z8ahm][b:2w1z8ahm]Jon Seattle[/b:2w1z8ahm]: And as individuals we need this to regain focus on this shared 3d word.[/color:2w1z8ahm]
[color=DarkOliveGreen:2w1z8ahm][b:2w1z8ahm]Jon Seattle[/b:2w1z8ahm]: Exactly.[/color:2w1z8ahm]
[color=Sienna:2w1z8ahm][b:2w1z8ahm]Moon Adamant[/b:2w1z8ahm]: [/color:2w1z8ahm]
[color=Sienna:2w1z8ahm][b:2w1z8ahm]Moon Adamant[/b:2w1z8ahm]: may I?[/color:2w1z8ahm]
[color=DarkGreen:2w1z8ahm][i:2w1z8ahm]Gwyneth Llewelyn looks as the Swiss as example for quality and excellence [/i:2w1z8ahm][/color:2w1z8ahm]
[color=DarkOliveGreen:2w1z8ahm][i:2w1z8ahm]Jon Seattle listens to Moon[/i:2w1z8ahm][/color:2w1z8ahm]
[color=DarkGreen:2w1z8ahm][b:2w1z8ahm]Gwyneth Llewelyn[/b:2w1z8ahm]: ... well in chocolate and watches at least [/color:2w1z8ahm]
[color=Sienna:2w1z8ahm][b:2w1z8ahm]Moon Adamant[/b:2w1z8ahm]: ok, Pat, this to answer a specific point on your mail[/color:2w1z8ahm]
[color=DarkOliveGreen:2w1z8ahm][i:2w1z8ahm]Jon Seattle laughs lightly[/i:2w1z8ahm][/color:2w1z8ahm]

[color=DarkGreen:2w1z8ahm][b:2w1z8ahm]Gwyneth Llewelyn[/b:2w1z8ahm]: [/color:2w1z8ahm]
[color=Sienna:2w1z8ahm][b:2w1z8ahm]Moon Adamant[/b:2w1z8ahm]: you said that in your opinion, the Guild should become ttally private in scope[/color:2w1z8ahm]
[color=Black:2w1z8ahm][b:2w1z8ahm]Patroklus Murakami[/b:2w1z8ahm]: yes[/color:2w1z8ahm]
[color=Sienna:2w1z8ahm][b:2w1z8ahm]Moon Adamant[/b:2w1z8ahm]: but today, i was thinking on it[/color:2w1z8ahm]
[color=Sienna:2w1z8ahm][b:2w1z8ahm]Moon Adamant[/b:2w1z8ahm]: and i realized that[/color:2w1z8ahm]
[color=Sienna:2w1z8ahm][b:2w1z8ahm]Moon Adamant[/b:2w1z8ahm]: since ne of the base points of the CDS project is to promote a centre for excellency in design and content in SL[/color:2w1z8ahm]
[color=Sienna:2w1z8ahm][b:2w1z8ahm]Moon Adamant[/b:2w1z8ahm]: the linking of the Guild to the CDS[/color:2w1z8ahm]
[color=Sienna:2w1z8ahm][b:2w1z8ahm]Moon Adamant[/b:2w1z8ahm]: must be closer than just a territorial presence[/color:2w1z8ahm]
[color=Sienna:2w1z8ahm][b:2w1z8ahm]Moon Adamant[/b:2w1z8ahm]: and actually, it has to be a sort of hmmm[/color:2w1z8ahm]
[color=Sienna:2w1z8ahm][b:2w1z8ahm]Moon Adamant[/b:2w1z8ahm]: Institute[/color:2w1z8ahm]
[color=DarkOliveGreen:2w1z8ahm][b:2w1z8ahm]Jon Seattle[/b:2w1z8ahm]: Yes![/color:2w1z8ahm]
[color=Sienna:2w1z8ahm][b:2w1z8ahm]Moon Adamant[/b:2w1z8ahm]: so, agree with Jon's proposal thatwe do need a chartered guild, and some control[/color:2w1z8ahm]
[color=Sienna:2w1z8ahm][b:2w1z8ahm]Moon Adamant[/b:2w1z8ahm]: actually[/color:2w1z8ahm]
[color=Sienna:2w1z8ahm][b:2w1z8ahm]Moon Adamant[/b:2w1z8ahm]: as the old Guild was uncontrllable, it got too busy in government roles and missed this part[/color:2w1z8ahm]
[color=DarkSlateBlue:2w1z8ahm][b:2w1z8ahm]Ranma Tardis[/b:2w1z8ahm]: I am worried that the RA is getting too much power and the checks and balances are being removed with nothing to replace them[/color:2w1z8ahm]
[color=Sienna:2w1z8ahm][b:2w1z8ahm]Moon Adamant[/b:2w1z8ahm]: not at all, ranma[/color:2w1z8ahm]
[color=Indigo:2w1z8ahm][b:2w1z8ahm]Diderot Mirabeau[/b:2w1z8ahm]: but the RA is hardly a homogenous entity [/color:2w1z8ahm]
[color=Black:2w1z8ahm][b:2w1z8ahm]Patroklus Murakami[/b:2w1z8ahm]: let's try to keep two issues separate[/color:2w1z8ahm]
[color=Sienna:2w1z8ahm][b:2w1z8ahm]Moon Adamant[/b:2w1z8ahm]: the RA is actually giving power away[/color:2w1z8ahm]
[color=Black:2w1z8ahm][b:2w1z8ahm]Patroklus Murakami[/b:2w1z8ahm]: one is the need for a guild 2.0 organisation and what form that should take[/color:2w1z8ahm]
[color=DarkSlateBlue:2w1z8ahm][b:2w1z8ahm]Ranma Tardis[/b:2w1z8ahm]: I am sorry but please explain to me, how the power of the RA will be balanced?[/color:2w1z8ahm]
[color=Black:2w1z8ahm][b:2w1z8ahm]Patroklus Murakami[/b:2w1z8ahm]: the second relates to ranma's point - should the guild be abolished? and if so, how?[/color:2w1z8ahm]
[color=Sienna:2w1z8ahm][b:2w1z8ahm]Moon Adamant[/b:2w1z8ahm]: it is checked by the SC, and the judiciary branch is an independent branch[/color:2w1z8ahm]
[color=DarkOliveGreen:2w1z8ahm][b:2w1z8ahm]Jon Seattle[/b:2w1z8ahm]: That is guild 1.[/color:2w1z8ahm]
[color=DarkSlateBlue:2w1z8ahm][b:2w1z8ahm]Ranma Tardis[/b:2w1z8ahm]: The head of the RA recently told me to do as told or leave[/color:2w1z8ahm]
[color=Black:2w1z8ahm][b:2w1z8ahm]Patroklus Murakami[/b:2w1z8ahm]: can we stick with the first point? and come on to checks and balances in ten minutes or so?[/color:2w1z8ahm]
[color=Sienna:2w1z8ahm][b:2w1z8ahm]Moon Adamant[/b:2w1z8ahm]: also, if you consider the committes proposal, you will see that the RA is asking for consultive input from teh citizens[/color:2w1z8ahm]
[color=Sienna:2w1z8ahm][b:2w1z8ahm]Moon Adamant[/b:2w1z8ahm]: and ok Pat[/color:2w1z8ahm]
[color=DarkSlateBlue:2w1z8ahm][b:2w1z8ahm]Ranma Tardis[/b:2w1z8ahm]: I have said this before and will again, soon the RA will be the only power[/color:2w1z8ahm]
[color=Sienna:2w1z8ahm][b:2w1z8ahm]Moon Adamant[/b:2w1z8ahm]: chair on[/color:2w1z8ahm]
[color=DarkOliveGreen:2w1z8ahm][b:2w1z8ahm]Jon Seattle[/b:2w1z8ahm]: Yes, lets continue with point 1, which is most important in my view.[/color:2w1z8ahm]
[color=Black:2w1z8ahm][b:2w1z8ahm]Patroklus Murakami[/b:2w1z8ahm]: i have a comment on the proposal, and moon's defence of a 'state-sponsored' body[/color:2w1z8ahm]
[color=Sienna:2w1z8ahm][i:2w1z8ahm]Moon Adamant listens[/i:2w1z8ahm][/color:2w1z8ahm]
[color=DarkOliveGreen:2w1z8ahm][i:2w1z8ahm]Jon Seattle listens[/i:2w1z8ahm][/color:2w1z8ahm]
[color=Black:2w1z8ahm][b:2w1z8ahm]Patroklus Murakami[/b:2w1z8ahm]: i'm still not clear why this has to be 'state-sponsored'. i'm happy with the idea of an 'institute' and the kind of guild 2.0 you describe. i don't really see the need for the RA to set it up. i think i'd prefer to see more organisations arise out of[/color:2w1z8ahm]
[color=Black:2w1z8ahm][b:2w1z8ahm]Patroklus Murakami[/b:2w1z8ahm]: civil society[/color:2w1z8ahm]
[color=Black:2w1z8ahm][b:2w1z8ahm]Patroklus Murakami[/b:2w1z8ahm]: and be independent of the state[/color:2w1z8ahm]
[color=Sienna:2w1z8ahm][b:2w1z8ahm]Moon Adamant[/b:2w1z8ahm]: well, they would be autonomous, and specially financially autonomous[/color:2w1z8ahm]
[color=DarkOliveGreen:2w1z8ahm][b:2w1z8ahm]Jon Seattle[/b:2w1z8ahm]: Pat, do you mean that new sim regions would be developed by a private entity? How would they become democratic in that case?[/color:2w1z8ahm]
[color=DarkGreen:2w1z8ahm][b:2w1z8ahm]Gwyneth Llewelyn[/b:2w1z8ahm]: At this point, I must state, for the record, that the argument for either ? public or private ? must be *very strong*. Or else this proposal will fail, I guess.[/color:2w1z8ahm]
[color=Sienna:2w1z8ahm][b:2w1z8ahm]Moon Adamant[/b:2w1z8ahm]: but the charter, with theemphasis on the educational and content making scope, must be clearly set, and atm the only way you can do it is by a RA-voted charter[/color:2w1z8ahm]
[color=DarkOliveGreen:2w1z8ahm][i:2w1z8ahm]Jon Seattle agrees with Moon[/i:2w1z8ahm][/color:2w1z8ahm]
[color=Sienna:2w1z8ahm][b:2w1z8ahm]Moon Adamant[/b:2w1z8ahm]: do note that thecharter only brushes very lightly on internal organization and procedures[/color:2w1z8ahm]
[color=Black:2w1z8ahm][b:2w1z8ahm]Patroklus Murakami[/b:2w1z8ahm]: well jon, i think the new sims will be developed by this body in any case. what i'd like to see is the guild (or many competing guilds) develop and the RA choose from among competing visions when a new sim is being developed[/color:2w1z8ahm]
[color=Sienna:2w1z8ahm][b:2w1z8ahm]Moon Adamant[/b:2w1z8ahm]: only the enough to assure that there is responsability[/color:2w1z8ahm]
[color=Sienna:2w1z8ahm][b:2w1z8ahm]Moon Adamant[/b:2w1z8ahm]: ah, i see your point[/color:2w1z8ahm]
[color=Black:2w1z8ahm][b:2w1z8ahm]Patroklus Murakami[/b:2w1z8ahm]: the guild would be simply building teh sim, like private contractors if we employed ppl outside the CDS[/color:2w1z8ahm]
[color=DarkOliveGreen:2w1z8ahm][b:2w1z8ahm]Jon Seattle[/b:2w1z8ahm]: Pat, we have barely enough builders for one guild. And if guilds were private why would the take projects that involve so much loss of potential profits?[/color:2w1z8ahm]
[color=DarkOliveGreen:2w1z8ahm][b:2w1z8ahm]Jon Seattle[/b:2w1z8ahm]: The amount of volunteer work going into CN is phnominal[/color:2w1z8ahm]
[color=Black:2w1z8ahm][b:2w1z8ahm]Patroklus Murakami[/b:2w1z8ahm]: surely the motives for involvement would be the same s they are now?[/color:2w1z8ahm]
[color=DarkOliveGreen:2w1z8ahm][b:2w1z8ahm]Jon Seattle[/b:2w1z8ahm]: Also, you are asking each guild to take on much higher risk.[/color:2w1z8ahm]
[color=DarkOliveGreen:2w1z8ahm][b:2w1z8ahm]Jon Seattle[/b:2w1z8ahm]: Asking them to do all the work needed to develop a proposal and then perhaps have all that come to nothing.[/color:2w1z8ahm]
[color=Black:2w1z8ahm][b:2w1z8ahm]Patroklus Murakami[/b:2w1z8ahm]: i just feel uncomfortable with these kind of state enterprises. the mistake we seem to keep making is for the govnt to colonise areas that belong to private enterprise[/color:2w1z8ahm]
[color=DarkOliveGreen:2w1z8ahm][b:2w1z8ahm]Jon Seattle[/b:2w1z8ahm]: Pat, I don't see that.[/color:2w1z8ahm]
[color=DarkOliveGreen:2w1z8ahm][b:2w1z8ahm]Jon Seattle[/b:2w1z8ahm]: If the guild is not identified with the CDS it is just another SL content developer.[/color:2w1z8ahm]
[color=DarkOliveGreen:2w1z8ahm][b:2w1z8ahm]Jon Seattle[/b:2w1z8ahm]: why volunteer at all?[/color:2w1z8ahm]
[color=DarkGreen:2w1z8ahm][b:2w1z8ahm]Gwyneth Llewelyn[/b:2w1z8ahm]: Hmm[/color:2w1z8ahm]
[color=DarkGreen:2w1z8ahm][b:2w1z8ahm]Gwyneth Llewelyn[/b:2w1z8ahm]: That point is certainly correct...[/color:2w1z8ahm]
[color=Sienna:2w1z8ahm][b:2w1z8ahm]Moon Adamant[/b:2w1z8ahm]: Jon is absolutely right on the fact that we must aim at producing extra-quqlity content[/color:2w1z8ahm]
[color=Black:2w1z8ahm][b:2w1z8ahm]Patroklus Murakami[/b:2w1z8ahm]: well, the developers of the CN proposal did not know that their proposal would be the one chosen (or rhat it would be the only one). that didn't deter them, did it?[/color:2w1z8ahm]
[color=Sienna:2w1z8ahm][b:2w1z8ahm]Moon Adamant[/b:2w1z8ahm]: teh CDS HAS teh structure for it[/color:2w1z8ahm]
[color=DarkGreen:2w1z8ahm][b:2w1z8ahm]Gwyneth Llewelyn[/b:2w1z8ahm]: Hmm[/color:2w1z8ahm]
[color=DarkOliveGreen:2w1z8ahm][b:2w1z8ahm]Jon Seattle[/b:2w1z8ahm]: Yes, they did know it would the only one. Of course, NFS might have decided not to build at all..[/color:2w1z8ahm]
[color=DarkOliveGreen:2w1z8ahm][b:2w1z8ahm]Jon Seattle[/b:2w1z8ahm]: The other aspect of this is education.[/color:2w1z8ahm]
[color=Indigo:2w1z8ahm][i:2w1z8ahm]Diderot Mirabeau remembers taking secret pictures of up to three different competing proposals during the development of the CN proposal ... alas .. none made it to submission[/i:2w1z8ahm][/color:2w1z8ahm]
[color=DarkOliveGreen:2w1z8ahm][b:2w1z8ahm]Jon Seattle[/b:2w1z8ahm]: providing a design education to any citizen who wants one[/color:2w1z8ahm]
[color=Indigo:2w1z8ahm][b:2w1z8ahm]Diderot Mirabeau[/b:2w1z8ahm]: ahem .. is this thing logged? [/color:2w1z8ahm]
[color=Sienna:2w1z8ahm][b:2w1z8ahm]Moon Adamant[/b:2w1z8ahm]: lol[/color:2w1z8ahm]
[color=Black:2w1z8ahm][b:2w1z8ahm]Patroklus Murakami[/b:2w1z8ahm]: yes[/color:2w1z8ahm]
[color=DarkOliveGreen:2w1z8ahm][b:2w1z8ahm]Jon Seattle[/b:2w1z8ahm]: And we do that both for the citizen and with the idea that the community will benifit[/color:2w1z8ahm]
[color=DarkGreen:2w1z8ahm][b:2w1z8ahm]Gwyneth Llewelyn[/b:2w1z8ahm]: Aye, Diderot, it is [/color:2w1z8ahm]
[color=Indigo:2w1z8ahm][b:2w1z8ahm]Diderot Mirabeau[/b:2w1z8ahm]: education in my view would be a good argument for keeping the guild as a public service[/color:2w1z8ahm]
[color=DarkOliveGreen:2w1z8ahm][b:2w1z8ahm]Jon Seattle[/b:2w1z8ahm]: in general, private organizations do not provide that kind of education to anyone who wants it.[/color:2w1z8ahm]
[color=DarkGreen:2w1z8ahm][b:2w1z8ahm]Gwyneth Llewelyn[/b:2w1z8ahm]: thank you Diderot [/color:2w1z8ahm]
[color=Black:2w1z8ahm][b:2w1z8ahm]Patroklus Murakami[/b:2w1z8ahm]: that's teh only sound argument i can see for making this a public body[/color:2w1z8ahm]
[color=Indigo:2w1z8ahm][b:2w1z8ahm]Diderot Mirabeau[/b:2w1z8ahm]: considering the strict theme-requirements we have for both our sims .. I'd say that most new residents would be in need of education at one level or other to be able to comply with the covenant in any other way than buying a prefab[/color:2w1z8ahm]
[color=DarkOliveGreen:2w1z8ahm][b:2w1z8ahm]Jon Seattle[/b:2w1z8ahm]: I think both are sound. And also it is quite possible, if the whole of the CDS design community gets involved with a guild (surely an important goal) there will be competing proposals debated within the guild.[/color:2w1z8ahm]
[color=Black:2w1z8ahm][b:2w1z8ahm]Patroklus Murakami[/b:2w1z8ahm]: i wouldnt die in a ditch over the disagreement so i suggest we move on ot consder teh second point[/color:2w1z8ahm]
[color=Black:2w1z8ahm][b:2w1z8ahm]Patroklus Murakami[/b:2w1z8ahm]: how does this affect the balance of power?[/color:2w1z8ahm]
[color=DarkOliveGreen:2w1z8ahm][b:2w1z8ahm]Jon Seattle[/b:2w1z8ahm]: On the second point lets consider our goal. We want to make space for the new guild. The old one is not workable.[/color:2w1z8ahm]
[color=DarkOliveGreen:2w1z8ahm][b:2w1z8ahm]Jon Seattle[/b:2w1z8ahm]: How do we get there? That is the question.[/color:2w1z8ahm]
[color=DarkOliveGreen:2w1z8ahm][b:2w1z8ahm]Jon Seattle[/b:2w1z8ahm]: What we have proposed is to assign the last remaining power of the GM and give it to the juducuary.[/color:2w1z8ahm]
[color=DarkGreen:2w1z8ahm][b:2w1z8ahm]Gwyneth Llewelyn[/b:2w1z8ahm]: ... or SC?[/color:2w1z8ahm]
[color=Black:2w1z8ahm][b:2w1z8ahm]Patroklus Murakami[/b:2w1z8ahm]: surely 'to the SC'?[/color:2w1z8ahm]
[color=DarkOliveGreen:2w1z8ahm][b:2w1z8ahm]Jon Seattle[/b:2w1z8ahm]: What DPU is thinking of proposing, is leaving the current system in place.[/color:2w1z8ahm]
[color=DarkOliveGreen:2w1z8ahm][b:2w1z8ahm]Jon Seattle[/b:2w1z8ahm]: The SC, sorry.[/color:2w1z8ahm]
[color=Sienna:2w1z8ahm][b:2w1z8ahm]Moon Adamant[/b:2w1z8ahm]: wore than that, i'd say[/color:2w1z8ahm]
[color=Sienna:2w1z8ahm][b:2w1z8ahm]Moon Adamant[/b:2w1z8ahm]: they would leave something which is a hmmm[/color:2w1z8ahm]
[color=Sienna:2w1z8ahm][b:2w1z8ahm]Moon Adamant[/b:2w1z8ahm]: reduced guild, something that has no real function[/color:2w1z8ahm]
[color=Black:2w1z8ahm][b:2w1z8ahm]Patroklus Murakami[/b:2w1z8ahm]: do any of us get to join it ? under their proposal?[/color:2w1z8ahm]
[color=DarkOliveGreen:2w1z8ahm][b:2w1z8ahm]Jon Seattle[/b:2w1z8ahm]: In fact, if were were larger, there might even be a case for having the SC incude an auditor.[/color:2w1z8ahm]
[color=DarkOliveGreen:2w1z8ahm][b:2w1z8ahm]Jon Seattle[/b:2w1z8ahm]: Ah, Pat, a good question.[/color:2w1z8ahm]
[color=Sienna:2w1z8ahm][b:2w1z8ahm]Moon Adamant[/b:2w1z8ahm]: sort of proposal that tries to please both trojans and greeks... but that really doesn't solve a thing, and adds to confusion[/color:2w1z8ahm]
[color=DarkOliveGreen:2w1z8ahm][b:2w1z8ahm]Jon Seattle[/b:2w1z8ahm]: From what I know, the idea would be to keep the old structure in place but make some room for something like our proposal.[/color:2w1z8ahm]
[color=DarkOliveGreen:2w1z8ahm][b:2w1z8ahm]Jon Seattle[/b:2w1z8ahm]: within the current guild.[/color:2w1z8ahm]
[color=Black:2w1z8ahm][b:2w1z8ahm]Patroklus Murakami[/b:2w1z8ahm]: well, i would have liked to try to reform the guild. but sudane signed its death warrant by refusing to allow anyone else in[/color:2w1z8ahm]
[color=DarkGreen:2w1z8ahm][b:2w1z8ahm]Gwyneth Llewelyn[/b:2w1z8ahm]: Yes...[/color:2w1z8ahm]
[color=DarkOliveGreen:2w1z8ahm][b:2w1z8ahm]Jon Seattle[/b:2w1z8ahm]: Yes, I think that was intentional on her part. She fealt that we needed something different.[/color:2w1z8ahm]
[color=DarkGreen:2w1z8ahm][b:2w1z8ahm]Gwyneth Llewelyn[/b:2w1z8ahm]: That's teh way I read it as well [/color:2w1z8ahm]
[color=Black:2w1z8ahm][b:2w1z8ahm]Patroklus Murakami[/b:2w1z8ahm]: i find giving the financial veto to the SC rather odd.. it doesn't fit with their other powers. i'm pretty sure claude will not go for it[/color:2w1z8ahm]
[color=DarkGreen:2w1z8ahm][i:2w1z8ahm]Gwyneth Llewelyn had commented on that privately[/i:2w1z8ahm][/color:2w1z8ahm]
[color=DarkGreen:2w1z8ahm][b:2w1z8ahm]Gwyneth Llewelyn[/b:2w1z8ahm]: with the same fears.[/color:2w1z8ahm]
[color=DarkOliveGreen:2w1z8ahm][b:2w1z8ahm]Jon Seattle[/b:2w1z8ahm]: In the sense that the SC handles legal matters, you might consider this an extension into financial law.[/color:2w1z8ahm]
[color=DarkSlateBlue:2w1z8ahm][b:2w1z8ahm]Ranma Tardis[/b:2w1z8ahm]: someone needs to have it[/color:2w1z8ahm]
[color=DarkGreen:2w1z8ahm][b:2w1z8ahm]Gwyneth Llewelyn[/b:2w1z8ahm]: Personally, I think that the SC is not qualified to do a "financial veto"[/color:2w1z8ahm]
[color=Black:2w1z8ahm][b:2w1z8ahm]Patroklus Murakami[/b:2w1z8ahm]: ranma says it may make the RA stronger. i think it could be opposed because it makes the SC stronger - never popular[/color:2w1z8ahm]
[color=DarkGreen:2w1z8ahm][b:2w1z8ahm]Gwyneth Llewelyn[/b:2w1z8ahm]: I agree, Ranma. The wuestion is ? who?[/color:2w1z8ahm]
[color=DarkGreen:2w1z8ahm][b:2w1z8ahm]Gwyneth Llewelyn[/b:2w1z8ahm]: *question[/color:2w1z8ahm]
[color=Sienna:2w1z8ahm][b:2w1z8ahm]Moon Adamant[/b:2w1z8ahm]: hmmm, it's a good working solution. Here, for instance, we have an Exchequer Court that revises the budget[/color:2w1z8ahm]
[color=DarkSlateBlue:2w1z8ahm][b:2w1z8ahm]Ranma Tardis[/b:2w1z8ahm]: well I will not support making the RA almost complete power[/color:2w1z8ahm]
[color=DarkSlateBlue:2w1z8ahm][b:2w1z8ahm]Ranma Tardis[/b:2w1z8ahm]: giving[/color:2w1z8ahm]
[color=DarkGreen:2w1z8ahm][b:2w1z8ahm]Gwyneth Llewelyn[/b:2w1z8ahm]: Hmm yes. This would be something better suited.[/color:2w1z8ahm]
[color=Black:2w1z8ahm][b:2w1z8ahm]Patroklus Murakami[/b:2w1z8ahm]: i'm sorry, it feels like a fudge 'we have to find a place for the veto so.. whos' left to transfer it to?'[/color:2w1z8ahm]
[color=Sienna:2w1z8ahm][b:2w1z8ahm]Moon Adamant[/b:2w1z8ahm]: but Ranma, if you read carefully, you'll see that we are discussing now who can veto the RA [/color:2w1z8ahm]
[color=DarkGreen:2w1z8ahm][i:2w1z8ahm]Gwyneth Llewelyn agrees with Ranma hehe[/i:2w1z8ahm][/color:2w1z8ahm]
[color=DarkGreen:2w1z8ahm][b:2w1z8ahm]Gwyneth Llewelyn[/b:2w1z8ahm]: but again, I'm biased [/color:2w1z8ahm]
[color=DarkSlateBlue:2w1z8ahm][b:2w1z8ahm]Ranma Tardis[/b:2w1z8ahm]: well the way the dissusion is working is to make it the only possible outcome[/color:2w1z8ahm]
[color=DarkOliveGreen:2w1z8ahm][i:2w1z8ahm]Jon Seattle tries to make a SL copy of a RL excequer court, and gets a message that the copy fails![/i:2w1z8ahm][/color:2w1z8ahm]
[color=Sienna:2w1z8ahm][b:2w1z8ahm]Moon Adamant[/b:2w1z8ahm]: we can call for the making of an exchequer like that, but for a question of symmetry, it would respond to the SC[/color:2w1z8ahm]
[color=DarkSlateBlue:2w1z8ahm][b:2w1z8ahm]Ranma Tardis[/b:2w1z8ahm]: one that answers to the RA?[/color:2w1z8ahm]
