| 6 |
| |
| 7 |
| Basically I like things as they are but would like to strengthen areas |
| 8 |
| where I perceive the rules to be attackable. Most of these idea's do |
| 9 |
| come from the system I parliament within my country (NZ) which is a |
| 10 |
| Constitutional Monachy ( without a formal Constitution ). |
| 11 |
| |
| 12 |
| Now, all I suggest we do is amend our rules to be this. |
| 13 |
| |

| 1) The Foundation call's the Council elections, Council call's for |
| 15 |
| Foundation elections. |
| 16 |
| 2) At any time duing a Councils term the Council can ask the Foundation |
| 17 |
| to call elections for Council, at which time the Foundation _must_ do so. |
| 18 |
| 3) Foundation can dismiss Council and call elections[1] |
| 19 |
| 4) Council can dismiss "Foundation" (or more correctly all its members) |
| 20 |
| and call elections[1]. |
| 21 |
| 5) A Council or Foundation can't be dismissed within the first _insert |
| 22 |
| time period here_. |
| 23 |
| |
| 24 |
| [1] elections being within 30 days. |

The problem with this concept is that the Council and the Trustees |
| 29 |
represent different teams and the plan is to have a greater division |
| 30 |
between them in the future. It can also promote tensions that could |
| 31 |
escalate into a "war" between them with one trying to dismantle the other. |
| 32 |
The current policies already state that the council can be "voted out", |
| 33 |
although there are no rules on how to do it, and the proposed bylaws, |
| 34 |
including their current revision, already allow for a vote of the |
| 35 |
foundation members to remove the existing trustees. |
| 36 |
If we have clear policies that either body fails to follow, I think |
| 37 |
Richard's proposal for the referendum is a better solution to enforce |
| 38 |
those policies. |
