The League of Nations

The League of Nations is to be a political body made up of members from each Guild no matter their race or belief. The Guilds will elect, or appoint their own representative to the League of Nations in any manner they wish. The League itself is concerned primarily with legislation and aid for the member guilds and new guilds that wish to join the community. This will include assigning Mentor Guilds to New Member Guilds to bring them into the fold.

They may create policies that outline how they will deal with every day issues within the community and issues of war and peace. The League will be the voice of peace but will not be limited to that role. Should war be eminent they will oversee humane treatment of prisoners and provide aid for refugees and the injured. They may decide to send in peace keeping forces to quell violence so diplomatic procedures can be implemented.

This is to be a partnership between leadership and the Community. Each is responsible for the other and will work together to achieve a mutually agreeable set of laws, policies and decisions that effect the Greater Community.

The structure of the League will be further defined when the members of the League meet.

• They will determine for themselves when and where they hold meetings

• They will determine their meeting rules and procedures.

• They will elect their own Spokesperson(s) to moderate their meetings and they will choose their title(s). (Chairperson, Speaker, Prime Minister?)

• The Spokesperson(s) will have no vote but their respective guilds may have a representative to vote for their guild. However, in cases where the League of Nations has an even number of members and a deadlocked vote is possible, the Spokesperson(s) will be expected to, if necessary, cast a deciding vote.

Once a month, the League of Nations Spokesperson(s) will present any new policies, laws, or decisions that the League hopes to have ratified, to the Greater Community by polling them for a general consensus. The final vote will be made at the meeting immediately following the results of the poll and any further input from the community will be added to the legislation, should it be necessary, to make it more acceptable to all. The ultimate decision will be up to the Guild representatives guided by the Community poll with no less than (2/3rds) of the League membership to become final. The membership need not be present to cast their vote as long as it is sent to the Spokesperson(s) by what ever means can be achieved.

If at any time the League membership must deny passage, they are obligated to present written documentation of their reasons to the Community at large by formal post, and, if applicable, proposed changes to the legislation. The Community or the League may continue to submit an overturned decision to the League or the Community at large as often as they see fit, changed or unchanged, until such time as they feel the issue has been dealt with sufficiently.

If a League member guild’s representative is not present for (3) three consecutive meetings their guild will be asked to provide a new representative so their guild can be properly represented. Attendee Representatives will be registered at each meeting to assure that all guilds are being properly represented. This list will be published each week along with the minutes of the League meeting.

The Term of Service of the Spokesperson(s) will be a term of no more than (6) six months. After that time a vote for new speakers will be held. The nominees will be presented by the League Guilds to the Community for their approval. The Community will not vote but may present their opinions to their League Representative for each nominee. The current speakers must wait to run again until the next set of elections.

Should a Spokesperson be unable to complete their term or are absent from their post as Spokesperson for more than (3) three consecutive weeks a new Spokesperson will be elected by the League as if it were the end of the (6) six month term described under Term of service.

Should it be determined that the current Spokesperson(s) is unsuited for their position before their term of service is up then the Community or Membership Guild Representatives can call for a vote of “No Confidence”. In this case, a two thirds percent of the League membership can call for a vote to elect a new Spokesperson to replace the unsuited person. The same election procedures will apply for this scenario as well.

(There is an ooc part of this proposal I will be posting in the GA shortly.)
