edit: Exchange „Guild“ with „Chancellor“
————————
NL 4-23 Public Property Protection Act
To protect the consistency, quality, and historical value of structures on shared public land owned by citizens, the Chancellor is required to seek approval after a moratorium for all modifications (creation, deletion, replacement, or modification) to any objects (objects, scripts, textures, or terrain) sitting on public land which have been purchased by the city. The moratorium will be 10 days long. During the moratorium, the proposed modifications to the objects will be offered for review either in writing (a description), in world (on display), or in forum (photographs). At the end of the moratorium, the RA will vote on the modification to the object. In the event of competing choices, the Chancellor will choose between the competing proposals, with that choice subject to RA ratification.
Philosophy
The philosophy behind this law is that it seeks to protect the consistency, quality, and historical value of the city’s public space and places authority for its maintenance in the hands of those who pay for it, the citizens. Because irrevocable changes can be made so quickly, the moratorium and approval process provides citizens protection against rapid and potentially undesirable change. Additionally, the moratorium can be used to display several competing objects to better involve citizens in the maintenance of public land.

Note: the RA found this law still valid on 9th of March 2017 via Constitution Article II Section 9:
„Any power or responsibility assigned to the Artisan’s Collective by the constitution and precedent that overlaps those provided to the Chancellor in this amendment will be assigned to the Chancellor.“
