Constitutional Convention Taking Shape

[minionofmidas]

UPWashington Main Campus, Seattle, WA

The Convention is supposed to begin tomorrow, some delegates are already in town, yet only 12 of the 17 delegates have even been named.
To date delegates are:
(NE:) Andrew Berger, Colin Wixted, KeystonePhil, MAS117, Nation, True Democrat,
(ME:) Al, Liberty, Peter Bell
MW: Fritz, ILikeVerin
SE: Ernest, Harry, Jake
P: King, Lewis Trondheim, Wildcard

[True Democrat]

For the Mideast, why not have Peter Bell and DanielX each pick one, and then have Peter and Daniel agree on one other candidate.

[minionofmidas]

Yesterday, I think.
There is a thread.

[King]

While we wait for the others, a round of expresso on me!

Thanks.

Mideast delegates have been nominated, I'll update the starting post.

[7,052,770]

so how exactly is the convention going to be done?  on this thread?

[minionofmidas]

I'd like to know that myself.

[Colin]

Their will probably be an official Constitutional Convention Thread that will be made. Some, though, may be done over AIM.

[ilikeverin]

Ooooh, how about we ask the almighty Dave for a Constitutional Convention Forum?

He did give us the Atlas Fantasy Government forum, after all

[7,052,770]

yeah, AIM may not be the best thing.  A thread should be sufficient.

[King]

I would not support a thread here as anybody can just come on in and give input, which ruins the whole "private delegation" thing we have going.

We also need some leadership, that way this convention isn't a free-for-all.

Chairman: Opens votes, debate, etc.
Secretary: Counts votes, makes transcripts of debate, and puts together everything...

[King]

SUGGESTION: I will make a private forum offsite that all delegates register in and we hold it there.

I nominate Lewis Trondheim for chairman and Peter Bell for secretary.

[King]

I nominate Lewis Trondheim for chairman and Peter Bell for secretary.

I was thinking more of a candidates and vote thing, not the Attorney General just yelling it out. To balance it out, I say one of the leaders be a blue avatar.

Composition of the Delegation
4 Union
3 Democrats
2 Independents
2 Farmer Labor
1 Republican

2 vacant

[True Democrat]

I nominate Lewis Trondheim for chairman and Peter Bell for secretary.

To make this as unbiased as possible, I think no candidates should hold special positions in the convention.

I nominate Harry for chairmen and AndrewBerger for secretary.

I didn't mean for that to be a decree, just an idea.
I had thought Peter Bell perhaps because of his previous association with the constitution, and Lewis Trondheim to give him a test to see whether he the leadership ability and wherewithal to be president.  But it was only an idea.
I now see you wanted to be secretary.

Okay what I say it should be is:

1. We have a Chairman for the Convention.
2. We have a Vice-Chairman for the Convention
3. Their will be a Convention Secretary
4. People nominate themselves for the positions
5. On the first day of the Convention we will have a vote for the three positions stated above.

Here are my new nominations:
Chair: Harry
Vice-chair: AndrewBerger
Secretary: King

[7,052,770]

if yall want me to be chair, I will, but I'm going to vote for Lewis to be chair if he wants it.

[Colin]

I want to nominate myself for Chairman. I would like to see atleast one Centrist or Rightist in the running for the Chairman position.

[7,052,770]

we need to elect the chairman, vicechair, and secretary before the convention starts, so the three of them can meet and plan a schedule and all.
And I would like to be on the ballot for chairman.
