Revision as of 16:52, 26 February 2007

I created this sandbox to play with content and formatting before modifying the actual "Stolen
Rules" to reduce the number of edits and make it easier to compare differences. 
After researching a lot of organizational bylaws and similar documents, I have re-formmated
 quite a bit of the language. Basically what this does is take all of the redundant language
(i.e. selection process, terms of office, etc.) and groups it all together at the beginning of
each article so when you get down below all you have is duties and responsibilities which makes
it much easier to read.

I also fear I may have been unintentioally leading you astray with all of my ideas on
restricting speaking, motions, voting, etc. both in the Senate and in the Comitia.  This language
below does not have any of that.  Let's start with an "A" again.  For all intents and purposes   
all members of the Senate, both permanent and ex officio have the right to make motions, speak,  
and vote.  All members of the society have the same in the Comitia.  If things get wild and 
crazy, we can always restrict things later.  The only priviledges are the right to call for
votes and commence elections reserved for the Consul and Tribune (see below for specifics).

Lastly, for the changes between this and 2d revision 2d you will find comments like this after  
the modified language.  I have also included a new, simplified chart below so you can look at  
language and the chart with less switching between pages.  Once we agree on 3d language we can 
copy and paste this into the "Stolen Rules" page and I will update the chart.
