[DRAFT] [2236.AB] Setting a standard for WA approval voting |
I was recently looking through some of our regional laws and came across this one, The World Assembly Act. I read it, and instantly wanted to add on a clause or two about approval voting. It doesn't seem that the Delegates of the five feeder regions approve WA resolutions all that often. Though, in the case that the Delegate of the South Pacific has done so, I've added some criteria to what the Delegate can approve or not. I invite you to read my bill and discuss below. Feedback and comments are welcome!

Posts outside High Court venues should be taken as those of any other legislator. I do not participate in the regional server, but I am happy to talk through instant messaging or on the forum.

In practice, approval requests don't typically come from the OWL director. They usually come from the PM or MoFA. Also, setting limitations on delegate approval based on whether it has been marked legal will limit our capacity to get proposals to vote. What if the first person who marks the proposal illegal made a mistake? Can the delegate not put their approval on the proposal before a second person says otherwise? It's better to just let the delegate put their approval on it anyway. If it's dropped for being illegal, no harm, no foul.
This process does not require bureaucratization beyond where it is now. If a member of the region wants a proposal approved, they ask for it, and Cabinet, OWL, and the Delegate work through the process by amicable consensus.
If it would help, we could make a forum thread for "request an approval" and "Delegate/OWL Director post notifications of approvals". But I don't think a legislative change is necessary Minister of Foreign Affairs

Yes, but I believe you may can still approve them from my Delegacy experience. Trying to remember... maluhia

But I don't think a legislative change is necessary I'd support this; and I'd support scrapping the resolution I wrote if @anjo, or any future OWL Director allows it. And what about a Deputy OWL Director, like the Deputy Chair in the Assembly? maluhia
