Thanks for your feedback, it is much appreciated. I didn't really have time to work on the AC reform committee before the election due to RL issues of moving and lack of Internet access. My profound apologies to Jon, who was very patient with me. My new AC proposal can function with a minimum of a GM and a master level DGM. I added the Director of Licensing role because implementing the Simplicity Party's Mirabeau Banking Roadmap (which the DPU supports) makes much of this look simple by comparison and may require more human resources. The SP roadmap can be found here: http://forums.neufreistadt.info/viewtopic.php?t=739
[b:2xw5b6ye]Ranma & Dnate:[/b:2xw5b6ye] I realize it's pretty complex, but honestly the stuff in white is my understanding of what's currently in place, scary as that seems. I'll be editing them with feedback. It's nice to draw it to make sure everyone roughly has the same understanding of what's on the books.
[b:2xw5b6ye]TOP:[/b:2xw5b6ye] Thanks for pointing out that the MoCA Curator is Delia Lake. Sorry for the oversight.
[b:2xw5b6ye]Diderot:[/b:2xw5b6ye] Thanks for pointing out the you are the new PIO. You should be on the charts under the Chancellor.
[b:2xw5b6ye]Patroklus: [/b:2xw5b6ye] My understanding from chatting with Jon last night was that the new Guild charter was passed along with the new regional plan. He told me that the proposed constitutional amendment abolishing the AC was not passed. So references to the "CDSDI" (Design Institute was a name suggested months earlier by Jon) should be replaced with "The (New) Guild". Can someone verify for me that Article II has been repealed? The last amendment on the wiki is amendment #19 passed Jan. 9th, 2007. If that PCA has gone through I'm more than happy to redo the charts.
Clearly, the gov't has no place telling a NGO what to do. NGOs should follow their founding charter if they have one. My apologies for the comments next to the CDSTA, I haven't seen the charter (is there one?). I believe with the presence of a CDSTA the old AC no longer requires a Chamber of Commerce (CoC). Do you agree?
Local Administrators: I looked at our old RA session transcripts. Praetor was in the CN proposal but we agreed that the executive oversees this and it "could" be delegated. Aliasi does it defacto for NFS (we never formalized "Burghermeister"). Claude seemed to think we made Moon the Praetor (it's in the DPU platform) but I see no evidence of this. We can strike the NFS and CN LAs. Keep in mind that any franchulate will most certainly need a local admin. Yes we'll have more franch applications. We don't need to get into the Republic vs. Federation aka local autonomy debate. We can save that for another time. 
[b:2xw5b6ye]Aliasi:[/b:2xw5b6ye] Did you delegate the Praetorship to Moon?
[b:2xw5b6ye]Moon:[/b:2xw5b6ye] Are you now, or have your ever been, [i:2xw5b6ye]Praetor of Colonia Nova[/i:2xw5b6ye]?
[b:2xw5b6ye]Claude:[/b:2xw5b6ye] Do you remember if/how/when Moon was made Praetor?
[u:2xw5b6ye][b:2xw5b6ye]A couple of possible nitpicks:[/b:2xw5b6ye][/u:2xw5b6ye]
[b:2xw5b6ye]Who really runs the school?:[/b:2xw5b6ye] The Board of Trustees or the Guild Faculty Committee? I think the day-to-day will be run by the faculty with Trustee oversight, just like any other school. The Guild focus is on design. I'd like to see some civil service or administration courses offered by qualified people. Salzie Sachertorte would be the ideal instructor IMO.
[b:2xw5b6ye]Who heads the Treasury?:[/b:2xw5b6ye]
Under the old regime, assuming we did not repeal Article II, I don't believe (despite being a civil servant), the Treasurer should report directly to the Chancellor. Article II section 1:[quote:2xw5b6ye] "Its governmental role is to act as treasury".[/quote:2xw5b6ye]There is no mention of a treasury function in amendment XI (creation of the exec). If there were, then Amendment XI section 9: [quote:2xw5b6ye]" 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. "[/quote:2xw5b6ye]
So I would treat the Treasurer as appointed by and reporting to the GM with the Chancellor acting as a VP of Human Resources. Also note that Sudane is acting as GM and Treasurer in seeming vioation of 5-5 (unless SC waiver was granted). It is with that understanding that I find the following section of 5-5 to be unconstitutional and in need of some minor editing:
[quote:2xw5b6ye]The position of Treasurer shall be understood as a "civil service" type position. The citizen holding this role [b:2xw5b6ye]will not occupy any other elected or administrative position in the governed entity which he/she serves[/b:2xw5b6ye], unless a waiver might be granted, on a case by case basis, by the SC. [b:2xw5b6ye][i:2xw5b6ye]She/he shall be appointed by the Chancellor, with the advice and consent of the RA, and shall hold their position until they may resign or removed for cause.[/i:2xw5b6ye][/b:2xw5b6ye] Any such planned transition shall be of a duration of no fewer than 60 days to allow for reestablishment of accounts and the transfer of funds. [/quote:2xw5b6ye]
[b:2xw5b6ye]Making Chancellor Head of State:[/b:2xw5b6ye] This is a wholly separate issue, but I threw it in anyway. I put this in due to some confusion on my part. If Phillip Rosedale or Desmond Shang had to have an emergency meeting with a single CDS representive, who would we send? I realize we would ideally have them meet with many people or perhaps some kind of council of branch heads. Who is in charge of foreign (LL and other groups/resident run gov'ts) policy? Another possibility would be to make the Dean the Head of State. Then we look a bit like a constitutional monarchy.
