I still count 2 sponsorships of 3 for Camwood (Hileville, Gulliver).

Tim · Aug 10, 2012

I vote Aye in relation to the proposed charter

Belschaft · Aug 10, 2012

Comrade Chairman, as Tyler has joined another party should he not be removed as a candidate for membership?

Eluvatar · Aug 10, 2012

Tim-Opolis:
I vote Aye in relation to the proposed charter

I count 12 aye, 0 against, 0 abstain, 11 not voted on the final statement of the Sixth Congress (the Charter). (12:0:0:11)

The statement is passed by the Progressive Party and the Charter is now operative. We should let people continue to register their votes for the rest of this week for the record, I think.

That said, I ask for a Congress to elect the officers.

Belschaft:
Comrade Chairman, as Tyler has joined another party should he not be removed as a candidate for membership?

We have as of yet no rule against dual membership.

Belschaft · Aug 10, 2012

I second the call for a party Congress, and append a motion to expel Anur-Sanur from the party to the proposed business of said Congress.

Gulliver · Aug 10, 2012

I'd like to propose that considering whether or not membership in multiple parties should be permitted be part of the business of said congress.

Belschaft · Aug 10, 2012

Clarification; Does a topic have to be added to the business before hand to be discussed during the congress, or merely if we wish to vote on it?

Eluvatar · Aug 10, 2012

Anything can be discussed, but nothing can be part of the Final Statement which was not in the agenda.

Belschaft · Aug 10, 2012

In that case I'd like to add a motion to discuss drawing up a Party Manifesto, in the form of a resolution, for the coming elections.

Tim · Aug 10, 2012

I'd like to second Gulliver's proposal regarding dual membership.

mcmasterdonia · Aug 10, 2012

I'd think that it is a given, something we definitely need. As for the party manifesto, It would be good if we could write something up regarding the elections. I think though, we should still keep it relatively vague. Typically there isn't always a crap load of candidates, and it could be the fact that two progressives face off against each other. If that's entirely on the same platform, it wouldn't be overly interesting

Kiwi · Aug 10, 2012

FALCONKATS · Aug 10, 2012

thank you

Camwood · Aug 11, 2012

I would like to confirm that I am indeed still interested in membership, despite being short of a third sponsorship

Felasia · Aug 12, 2012

Aye to the charter.

Oriole Electronics · Aug 13, 2012

I'll sponsor Prince Windsor for membership.

Eluvatar · Aug 13, 2012

The Seventh Congress of the Progressive Party will be held on Saturday August 18th at 0000 UTC. That is to say 2000 EDT on Friday August 17th. That is to say 0800 WAST on Saturday August 18th. That is to say 1300 NZDT on Saturday August 18th.

The agenda will be the election of a party Secretary, the election of a party Spokesperson, considering the expulsion of Haxstree, considering a resolution to prohibit membership in multiple parties, and drafting a party manifesto.

Belschaft · Aug 14, 2012

Due to the unscheduled election, I motion that candidate selection be added to the agenda of the Seventh Party Congress, in accordance with Article Five, Clause Three of the Party Charter.

Article 5: Selection of Candidates for Regional Elections
1. A week prior to any scheduled regional election, the selection of candidates to run in the election will begin. The first five days of this period will be allotted for the selection of potential candidates. After this, another two will be for voting on the final candidates.
2. The candidates to put forward will be selected and ordered by a Condorcet vote. Any ties will be broken in favor of the most senior member.
3. For any unscheduled regional election, the Party may select candidates by a majority vote of attendees of a Congress convoked for that purpose.

Eluvatar · Aug 14, 2012

I uh, intend to run for reelection to the Council of Five.

mcmasterdonia · Aug 15, 2012

This is sometimes where things are made too complicated, IMHO.

Kiwi · Aug 15, 2012

I also plan to run for re-election assuming I am nominated.

I will also be unable to attend on Saturday. I have a prior commitment I cannot avoid.

Cove · Aug 15, 2012

I'm undecided whether to run or not. I will not be able to attend the congress however.

Eluvatar · Aug 15, 2012
