Post by Rosie Gray »

[2020/08/22 09:08] Rosie Gray: I call this meeting to order
[2020/08/22 09:09] Rosie Gray: nothing like bringing a nice chat to an end like making it official
[2020/08/22 09:09] Rosie Gray: lol
[2020/08/22 09:09] Lilith Ivory: lol yes
[2020/08/22 09:09] Lyubov Atheria: :)
[2020/08/22 09:10] Rosie Gray: does anyone have any questions for any level of government?
[2020/08/22 09:10] Lilith Ivory: /me puts on her concerned citizen tag....
[2020/08/22 09:10] Mizou (Mizou Vavoom): About Tan's post regarding chancellors curtailed rights?
[2020/08/22 09:10] Lilith Ivory: when will be the next by-elections?
[2020/08/22 09:10] Lilith Ivory: /me puts back on her SC tag ...
[2020/08/22 09:10] Rosie Gray: by-elections?
[2020/08/22 09:10] Lilith Ivory: at the last friday of this month
[2020/08/22 09:11] Lilith Ivory: the census, not elections
[2020/08/22 09:11] Rosie Gray: oh do you have thoughts about Tan's post, Mizou?
[2020/08/22 09:11] Mizou (Mizou Vavoom): no thought but looking for clarity,
[2020/08/22 09:11] Lilith Ivory: /me leans forward and lisstens
[2020/08/22 09:12] Mizou (Mizou Vavoom): I am not sure in what way the chancellor will have less rights
[2020/08/22 09:12] Rosie Gray: it's a good question, and I guess that would depend on how the charter and laws would change
[2020/08/22 09:12] Mizou (Mizou Vavoom): hmmm yes
[2020/08/22 09:13] Lilith Ivory: I guess as the chancellor has to follow the law about informing the chitizenship in advantage if she/he wants to make permanent changes
[2020/08/22 09:13] Lyubov Atheria: i think Tan was just suggesting that as part of the updated LUC Act, what we need to do is help clarify what things Exactly the LUC is responsible for, and what the Chancellor is responsible for. and specifically, when may the Chancellor (and LUC) make changes without a formal approval process. and that is something we Do need to clarify.
[2020/08/22 09:13] Lilith Ivory: that restricts the chancellor from doing spontaneously whatever the chancellor wants
[2020/08/22 09:13] Mizou (Mizou Vavoom): yes i know that but I had a feeling that it was more than that
[2020/08/22 09:13] Rosie Gray: I thought so from his last comment too, Mizou, but perhaps not
[2020/08/22 09:14] Mizou (Mizou Vavoom): as in a list of things that the chancellor can or cannot achieve?
[2020/08/22 09:14] Lyubov Atheria: yes Mizou, i think that is part of what we need to help clarify.
[2020/08/22 09:14] Rosie Gray: it has long been very vague
[2020/08/22 09:14] Mizou (Mizou Vavoom): too true
[2020/08/22 09:14] Rosie Gray: and different Chancellors have interpreted it different ways
[2020/08/22 09:14] Rosie Gray: so I agree that it needs clarification
[2020/08/22 09:14] Lilith Ivory: I think the RA should clarify this passage sometimes
[2020/08/22 09:14] Lyubov Atheria: yes, i think so
[2020/08/22 09:15] Lilith Ivory: it has often created misunderstandings and drama :)
[2020/08/22 09:15] Rosie Gray: yes
[2020/08/22 09:15] Mizou (Mizou Vavoom): at the same time, I wouldn't like if there was all the sudden red tape involved in achieving things, more specifically building
[2020/08/22 09:15] Rosie Gray: there will always be red tape around it I guess
[2020/08/22 09:15] Lyubov Atheria: and i see, that even during my time here, it is not consistent when we (RA, LUC, Chancellor) follow a process, and who or what is subject to this process.
[2020/08/22 09:15] Rosie Gray: yes, it's true Lyubov
[2020/08/22 09:16] Rosie Gray: when I first came here the only way to get anything changed was to petition the Chancellor directly
[2020/08/22 09:16] Mizou (Mizou Vavoom): yes
[2020/08/22 09:17] Lilith Ivory: at others times the RA had to struggle hard to keep a chancellor awy from doing things nobody else wanted
[2020/08/22 09:17] Rosie Gray: yes I remember that well too
[2020/08/22 09:17] Lyubov Atheria: i think it would be helpful, is we could detail, which areas may the Chancellor act without approval. easy examples already are seasonal changes, region terrain textures...and we know there are other areas, but what are these exactly?
[2020/08/22 09:17] Mizou (Mizou Vavoom): replacing buildings
[2020/08/22 09:18] Rosie Gray: and other times again when a Chancellor wouldn't do anything or let anyone else do anything
[2020/08/22 09:18] Mizou (Mizou Vavoom): that too :)
[2020/08/22 09:18] Lilith Ivory: we have to be careful with replacing buildings as not all citizens are in favour of actions like this
[2020/08/22 09:18] Lilith Ivory: best to discus replacing beforehand
[2020/08/22 09:19] Mizou (Mizou Vavoom): ok so that would be a point on the list
[2020/08/22 09:19] Rosie Gray: yes, buildings are important and need to be discussed
[2020/08/22 09:19] Lyubov Atheria: yes, we don't want to come in one day and see vast changes no one approved...and the other extreme, we don't want to take 6 months and need 15 people to all approve putting a roundabout in :)
[2020/08/22 09:19] Rosie Gray: exactly!
[2020/08/22 09:19] Rosie Gray: lol
[2020/08/22 09:19] Mizou (Mizou Vavoom): maybe there could be a form that could be created to replace a build and then submitted to the appropriate channels?
[2020/08/22 09:20] Rosie Gray: the appropriate channels are what is vague right now
[2020/08/22 09:20] Lyubov Atheria: so, i think Tan is reminding us, that we need to think about what types of things, and situations, need approval, and by whom.
[2020/08/22 09:20] Mizou (Mizou Vavoom): ah!?
[2020/08/22 09:20] Rosie Gray: it's been needed for a long time, in my opinion
[2020/08/22 09:21] Lilith Ivory: I agree
[2020/08/22 09:21] Mizou (Mizou Vavoom): yes i agree too
[2020/08/22 09:21] Rosie Gray: it's not surprising that new people when they come get confused
[2020/08/22 09:22] Lilith Ivory: or Olbies when a new citizen asks about something by surprise ;_)
[2020/08/22 09:22] Rosie Gray: so I guess the discussion continues on the forum
[2020/08/22 09:22] Rosie Gray: yes, true Lilith!
[2020/08/22 09:22] Lyubov Atheria: yes, i think we need to share our ideas on the forum about this and try to come to a consensus
[2020/08/22 09:23] Rosie Gray: /me nods
[2020/08/22 09:23] Mizou (Mizou Vavoom): /me nods
[2020/08/22 09:23] Rosie Gray: was there another question?
[2020/08/22 09:23] Lilith Ivory: I think this needs another thread instead of discussing it in the LUC act post
[2020/08/22 09:23] Lilith Ivory: idk
[2020/08/22 09:23] Lilith Ivory: Hi Kyoko :)
[2020/08/22 09:24] Rosie Gray: yes, good point Lilith I agree
[2020/08/22 09:24] Mizou (Mizou Vavoom): Hi Kyoko
