RECOGNIZING that certain motions only affect the General Assembly, and therefore should only need approval by the Assembly to go into effect;
NOTING that, despite being such a motion, the Rules of Procedure have no provisions for passing them;
BELIEVING that codifying such procedures and ensuring that proper checks are placed on the process is necessary for the long term function of the Assembly;
HEREBY AMENDS AR-#001: General Assembly Rules of Procedure.
The following clause shall be inserted under Section 1:
2. Motions which enact rules or provisions relating exclusively to the General Assembly shall be referred to as Procedural Resolutions.
The following section shall be added:
Section 8: Procedure for Resolution Proposals
1. Any Assembly Member, not otherwise inhibited, may send a Procedural Resolution Proposal to the Chairperson for consideration by the Assembly.
2. Upon receipt of a proposal from an Assembly Member, the Chairperson shall create a thread in the forum, and open the proposal for debate.
3. After the opening of the proposal, the sponsor of the proposal may introduce the resolution, followed by the co-sponsors.
4. The Chairperson shall then declare the proposal open for discussion by other Assembly Members, who may then formally and respectfully declare their views on the resolution at hand.
6. Upon conclusion of the amendment period, a second debate period will be opened by the Chairperson which will last 48 hours.
7. During any of these periods, any citizen may object to the proposal on the basis that its provisions do not pertain exclusively to the Assembly. This objection must be seconded by an Assembly Member, after which the Chairperson shall hold a vote on the issue.
