Amendment: Term Limits
Having been discussing this ever since DE announced he would withdraw from the DoPO elections in order to run for commissioner in december, IO have now decided to put this to a poll.

The amendment proposed is:

In Article II, change the text under "Office Terms" from:

"All office terms shall last one month. A member can run for a different office at the end of his term, but he cannot change offices during it. If a member is elected three times into any government office, that member may not run for any government office the fourth consecutive term. After the fourth term he may run for any government office that is available. If this rule let not have a fully seated government, the rule will be deemed invalid for that term. "

to

"All office terms shall last one month. A member can run for a different office at the end of his term, but he cannot change offices during it. If a member is elected three times into the same government office, that member may not run for that government office the fourth consecutive term. After the fourth term he may run for any government office that is available. If this rule let not have a fully seated government, the rule will be deemed invalid for that term. "

Changed portions in bold.

You have three days.

Discussion thread is here.

Adding my support.

I also want to point out that after it became obvious that an amendment would be proposed, I withdrew my stepping aside, as it looked possible that I could stand in December anyway. So there's no need for a DoPO byelection after all...

And answering GT's point in the other thread - I don't think amendments need/should have official in the title. Amendment is clear enough - official should be saved for government business. It's even outlined in the constitution - there are official polls, unofficial polls, and then there are amendments.
