I mostly agree with DBTS.

Industry and Energy as it stands doesn't do much. Recommends mineral- and energy-increasing facilities to Base Production, yes, but I don't think we need a Director to recommend ever single thing. (Who recommends Children's Creches?) Possibly manages supply crawlers, if Base Production doesn't do it. Possibly manages the Economy rate in consultation with SE and Science, if we don't want to make energy rates just an SE function. Possibly okays energy expenditure, if we don't want to allow the Directors of Foreign Affairs, Base Production, and Exploration and Intelligence to make that decision on their own. (What to do if Santiago demands 1000 energy credits, and you can't find the Director of I&E?)

I'd favor merging the two. The problem is that we have seperate candidate lists for both positions, and the ACE supports two seperate candidates (Juliennew and Vlad Antlerkov). So it might be political, and I do not want the constitutional debate to become political or partisan. If the ACE can agree to merge the two, I'd be all for it. If not, we'll figure some compromise out.

Anyway, I've started a seperate thread on the topic.

Thoughts?

Impeachment
In chat, DBTS and I have gone through some ideas on impeachment. We both agree it should be judged by a 2/3 vote of the citizens, and to initiate an impeachment we would require that a majority of the Directors agree to impeach. Do you all like that idea? If a majority might be too partisan, one possibility is to have two Directors together be able to initiate an impeachment. The counterargument is that two directors might just as easily have a partisan vendetta as a majority might be in cahoots with a corrupt Commissioner. Since terms are only one month, it might be best to have impeachments only for drastic purposes -- i.e., purposes that a majority of Directors agree warrants impeachment.

a) Crisler's away
b) on impeachment, i would propose 66% of the citizens, but with, say, five citizen signatories necessary before it could be posted...
c) the same criticisms of the original document still stand

as i can't make the chats, could I pm some suggestions to you, adam?

adamtg: I was wondering if having Directors begin an impeachment might be a good way to compromise betwen the popular vote idea and the judge idea
pandemoniak81: hmm i still prefer a popular vote than a director vote. Either we have an impartial court, either we ask the citizens, who are impartial.
adamtg: makes sense
adamtg: DBTS wanted a majority of Directors to initiate an impeachment, which I thought might be overly difficult, but I went along with it becuase I'd rather have an overly difficult impeachment process than an overly easy one.
pandemoniak81: impeachmetn can only be casted if a director/commissioner made something against the UN constitution. Thus, it must be either a court, either the citizens. But a citizen cant just start a poll like that :snaps:, the court starts the poll, and citizens vote. Its my idea.
adamtg: hmm, that's a thought. My idea in having Directors initiate it was that, since the Commissioner must abide by the wishes of the Directors in their areas of expertise, the Directors can have him impeached for going against that. DBTS liked the idea, but wanted a majority of Directors.
pandemoniak81: only one director could start that ; a judge, some kind of director of justice.
adamtg: hmm. It should be a three judge panel, at least, so if one judge is influenced the others will be able to override.
pandemoniak81: ok, but some people not related to act on the game, judges, not directors.
adamtg: makes sense
pandemoniak81: thats what i meant by "impartial court"
adamtg: *nod*

PMs are completely acceptable. Unless you object, I'll forward them on to the other committee members.

Pande and Adam how do you want to start an impartial court. we arent that big as the DGcivIII game. i like the idea dont get me wrong. but i think you cant pull it off. that is way i think an majority (or two) directors WITH (liking that idea) some citizens can start an impeachment

Impeachment thoughts
Maybe ten citizens including two Directors?
I'm not dead set on the judge idea, but I do think Pandemoniak may have a point that an independently commissioned judge or "watchdog" is more likely to be objective than a Director. It is a reasonable criticism, though -- where are we going to find a judge, or a thre judge panel, given that the vast majority of frequent posters belong to a party, and we would want a judge or panel free of party loyalties?

One argument might be that it is against the spirit of a demo game -- where citizens have opionions, and struggle to make those opinions heard -- to expect a judge to be totally objective. If you gave credence to that argument, either a petition of citizens or of Directors seems to be the way to go. I don't know what the right answer is -- I'm just trying to put ideas on the table.

Well, the ten citizens and two director sounds good, it could be our judiciar branch.

Though...

To Adam, a petition can be sent to the Court, and citizens are always the major influence on impeachment since they vote on impeachment, while the court only has its own vote. The thing is that its easy to make a impeachment with two directors and ten citizens, and people can start arguing like "he said something contrary to the constitution on must be impeached, etc..." but the Court has to said if someone can be impeached or not, according to reasons evoked by citizens in their petition. Dont take the Court as a power by itself, take it as a security and a guarantee for stability.

A few things here.
Firstly, as far as an impeachment petition - I'm against having any required directors signatures. What if one party dominates government?

Secondly, a court/watchdog. I don't think it's necessary at this point in time. But if we did decide to create it, there are people around that could fill the positions. There are some clear independents, such as MWIA. But I'd also throw my hand up for a position - at the moment, I'm acting as a virtual independent, and it would be nothing for me to drop out of the party system.

Thirdly, on re-reading the state of the constitution above. I notice that there's notes questioning whether the consultation between directors needs to be formalised. As it stands, it is way, way, way too complicated. One director can of course, suggest something to another director, but each director should have a clear portfolio, and clear responsibilities, without having to consult with ten others first.

UN CONSTITUTION

This is the constitution that we, the people of the United Nations Peacekeepers, have decided upon. In it, we have declared that we shall form a government of the people, a Democracy, in which we shall choose who leads us. Our faction will be let by the people and for the people.

Directors make up the directorate. Directors are elected in the area they oversee, and they have the task of informing and advising the people on our situation.

All Directors are allowed to advise and consult with each other. They are also granted the right to petition for changes or actions from other Directors that may be critical to the their department.

This poll says a function of the commissioner is to compile a list of base names for the citizens to choose from. Chief Archiver at your service.

Excellent work, DBTS.

Just one quick remark : the contitutiton separates directoreates, and syas what has the effective powers and duties of these direcotrate, but it doesnt say EXACTLY what is the field of this directorate. Dont miss my point : I know that the Director of Social Engineer deals with SE, but if at some moments two directors claim something as in their own field (that can happen very quickly), there will have a problme.
I think we can fix that by either :
1. Using the Judge, the Court, or whatever we call him to make the choice.
2. Describe, in the constitution for each directorate the precise field and if any problem, ask the Commissioner to make a choice.
3. Make a poll about it : does it belong to aaa's field or to bbb's field ? (UN PK just love Bureaucracy, dont they ? ) and then consider or not the result as an amendment, meaning we will or wont have to re-do this poll for any other time the problem repeat.
4. Throw a banana.

One more thing - I just noticed the mention of governors in the constitution. I just don't see the need. It interferes with the work of the ministers, complicates things heaps - and I also opposed this when it was introduced in the Civ3 game. We're so much smaller than that - there's just no need.
