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!
