RE: [nbd] DRAFT of a proposal regarding a Nomic Secretary

["Dickens, David" <David.Dickens@pepperdine.edu>]

I have only one comment.  How about splitting it into two laws, even
three...

NomicOffice(, NomicElections optional) and NomicSecretary.  There may be
other offices and other elections and I think it might be good to
standardize the rules for each.

Such and office would really help me out, since keeping up the website is
going to be a bear even with all the adjustments I've made.

This weekend I'm going away to my parents, but I plan on spending Sunday
evening adding a "proposal" page, "player" pages and a "judgment" page.  If
we keep up a brisk pace, I'll have my hands full keeping it up.

OK, I have one more comment...

What's with the Tom Ogas breaks a tie? :-)

Subject: [nbd] DRAFT of a proposal regarding a Nomic Secretary


Folks,

Dropping this draft off into the discussion group to see if there's any
serious objections to it, or if there are any suggestions to make this a
better law.

DRAFT of Proposal Togas.1  (to be called NomicSecretary)

1) This Law creates the office of Nomic Secretary.
2) The Nomic Secretary shall be responsible for recording and counting all
votes submitted on any topic and, upon the termination of any voting period,
giving a count of those votes to the Nomic.
3) If there is any dispute over the results from any vote, the Nomic
Secretary's official count shall be used to resolve that dispute.  
4) The Nomic Secretary shall be responsible for recording and counting all
points collected or lost by all players of the Nomic.
5) The Nomic Secretary shall officially publish the current point totals of
all players of the Nomic on a weekly basis.
6) As a reward for the work done, the Nomic Secretary shall receive 1 point
per week, provided that he or she performs his or her duties in a timely and
reasonable mannor.
7) If a player disputes the Nomic Secretary's official count or if a player
disputes that the Nomic Secretary has not performed his or her duties in a
timely and reasonable mannor, he or she may call for a Judicial Review.
8) Upon passage of this law or upon the invocation of section 11 of this
law, all players have 2 business days to announce his or her candidacy for
Nomic Secretary.  After 2 business days have expired all players that are
not candidates have another 2 business days to vote for one candidate to
serve as Nomic Secretary.
9) All candidates are presumed to vote for him or herself and, therefore, do
not vote.
10) If a tie results at the end of the voting period, the tie will be broken
by Tom Ogas.  If no player expresses his or her desire to serve as Nomic
Secretary, Tom Ogas will automatically assume this role.
11) After 30 days of service, or after a Judicial Ruling has found that the
Nomic Secretary has not performing his or her duties in a timely and
reasonable mannor, a new election may be called by any player.  If a new
election is called, the election will be handled as per sections 8 through
10 of this law.
