Recent controversies on the Neufreistadt forums have questioned the existing role of the Scientific Council (SC) in Neufreistadt. Initially deployed as being the branch of government entrusted to 'defend and uphold the Constitution', it proceeded to establish itself as a group of people sustaining the ideals of a democratic society in SL. Recent changes in the government of the Confederation of Democratic Simulators (of which Neufreistadt is an administrative region) have suggested that the role of the SC should be to ensure the rule of law, and not ambiguous ideals.
This is a sudden but drastic change of the model of government, and it is fair to open up the discussion publicly, to anyone who wishes to attend and present their opinion, but has no time or patience to read the forums, and prefers an in-world discussion.
The discussion will take place at the Biergarten in the Marktplatz of Neufreistadt, Sunday, December 3, 2006, at 4 PM SLT.
