2nd Council of Lincoln Legislation Introduction

[lfromnj]

I cannot emphasize this enough.

No debating or voting is to occur here under any circumstances.

I agree it is time and perhaps it may be better to have the bill sponsor just directly pm the speaker/chancellor and they can post everything in a thread?
