From: Storm, free-lance gladiator-at-law To: All FRC Legal Counsel Re: Cutting to the chase Gentlebeings, a much simpler solution lies in RO 9: 9. Amendment. [...] Overrule. The regular ordinances may be overruled for a single round if a proposal is posted to do so and said proposal receives a two-thirds (2/3) affirmative vote of the members voting on that proposal within three (3) days after the posting of that proposal. Pull the sword from the stone! Propose a temporary overrule modifying the transfer of Judicial power and thereby making yourself Judge for the next round! The only drawback is the need for a 2/3 affirmative vote of the members voting. This is easily overcome. RO 2 provides: 2. Membership. Any person may become a member of this committee by posting in the committee forum a statement of intent to join. A member may resign from the committee at any time. We note that the Judge is a member, and may therefore vote. All he needs to do, then, is insure either that other votes are positive, or that there are no other votes. I suggest that the simplest solution is "there can be only one". Voter-removal services will be cheerfully provided on request. I also note that my colleagues have been, so far, defeatist in the extreme. From here on rules must not only acknowledge a difficulty with their proposal, but must show how that difficulty can be overcome. Proposals such as memos 192:3 or 192:4 do not show the degree of positive thinking required of our profession! Storm -- Mary Kuhner mkkuhner_at_eskimo.com -- Rule Date: 2002-08-22 19:39:00 GMT
