Background
Given that government posistions in the CDS are Voluntarily taken without the benefit of being able to predict future real-world conflicts, and given the fact that virtual world obligations must take a back-seat to the real world personal situations which allow for vw participation to begin with it has to be understood that there will be times when one or more members of the CDS government will face circumstances where they may be out of touch or unavailable for a limited period of time.
While understandable, this may leave the CDS unable to fulfil it's obligations regarding the smooth operation of the estate.
Intent
In such a situation the CDS has multiple options on how to proceed. In order to grant the estate time to calmly assess the situation and arrive at a decision on how to proceed, this act shall give the Representative Assembly the mechanism to grant Estate Managers the ability to perform duties normally authorised by the Chancellor.
The EMs shall be granted no additional administrative powers except for the ones which are spelled out in this legislation.
Scope of the law and Actions to take
In the event of the Chancellor or other government body being unable to perform these duties, the RA shall (either at a regular or emergency meeting) empower the Esate Managers to take on the following tasks;
1) Send out notices when Tenants are a week away from becoming delinquent
2) Send out notices when Residents are 24 hours away from becoming delinquent
3) Evict Citizen parcels which have fallen into arrears
4) Reclaim parcels which are in arrears
5) Take the necessary steps to put the parcels up for sale. This includes setting parcel information and displays as normal.
The Estate Managers will be granted these powers until either the end of the term, or until the RA gathers in a second meeting and declares the situation resolved. Once the situation has been declared resolved, the Estate Managers will continue in their jobs with the obligations they hold normally.
