Commonwealth Compliance Directive Proposed: May 25, 2013 Author: Likako A. Nehio
Article I. Commonwealth Representation for The Second Republic of New Sorvun
New Sorvun shall be represented in the Commonwealth of Regions ("Commonwealth") via the Commonwealth Senate ("Senate") and High Court of the Commonwealth ("High Court") as mandated by the Commonwealth Charter.
Section I. Commonwealth Senators.
- Senators are chosen via general election.
- Election shall be conducted at the same time as the Lord Chancellor elections
- Any citizen of New Sorvun, in good standing, is eligible to run for the office of Senator from New Sorvun.
Section II. Justice to the High Court.
- The Justice to the High Court shall be appointed to the High Court by the High Judicator.
- The term length for Justice shall be two months.
- Any citizen of New Sorvun, in good standing, is eligible to be appointed Justice to the High Court.
Section III. Regional Moderator.
- New Sorvun is granted a Regional Moderator to maintain the regional forums of the Commonwealth.
- The power of Regional Moderator shall be granted to the Lord Chancellor immediately upon election.
- This power can not be delegated to a Cabinet position.
- This power must only be used in moderating the regional forums of New Sorvun and assisting in masking citizens of other member regions.
- If the Regional Moderator uses his power to assist in a masking request for another member region, he must publicly notify that he has done so.
- Usage of this power beyond what has been defined here is grounds for revocation of the Regional Moderator as well as any criminal charges that occur for such usage and possible impeachment.
Section IV. Interim
- Should a Senator seat or Justice seat become vacant, the Lord Chancellor shall appoint any citizen to hold the office for the remainder of the respective office's term.
Article II. Commonwealth Offices, Double Positions, and Removal.
Section I. Public Office within the Commonwealth.
- Any citizen of New Sorvun, in good standing, shall be eligible to run for or be appointed to any public office within the Commonwealth Government.
- Should a citizen become the Secretary General, Deputy General or High Justice and if he holds a Senate seat or a Justice seat for New Sorvun, he must resign that office.
Section II. Double Positions.
- No citizen of New Sorvun shall hold multiple Senate or Justice Seats, nor shall they hold a Senate seat and a Justice seat simultaneously.
- If a citizen is chosen for an interim position, he shall be exempt from this rule except in cases of holding multiple seats in either the Senate or the High Court.
Section III. Removal.
- The following reasons are grounds for being removed from office as a Senator or Justice.
- Inactive
- Elected to another position
- Impeachment
- Loss of Citizenship in New Sorvun.
- Should either of these cases hold true, the Senate or High Court has the explicit permission of New Sorvun to remove said individual from their chambers if New Sorvun has not already done so.
- "Inactive" as defined by the New Sorvun Code of Law.
Article III. Mitigation.
Section I. Arbiter.
- An Arbiter is someone who shall mitigate for New Sorvun or a citizen of New Sorvun to the High Court,
- The Arbiter for New Sorvun shall be selected by the High Judicator among the citizens of New Sorvun, and may be the High Judicator himself.
- If a case involves another member region, the Arbiter can not also hold citizenship in said region.
Section II. Mitigating.
- Mitigation is necessary for the following:
- Conflict with another member region
- A citizen of another member region breaks a law in New Sorvun or vice-versa
- Conflict of law between New Sorvun and the Commonwealth.
- Mitigation is also needed should the World Court render a sentence that requires action by the administration of the Commonwealth such as but not limited to: banning, account deletion, editing profile or signature, etc.
Article IV. Repealing Insufficient Directive
- The Commonwealth Representative Directive shall be struck in its entirety and rendered null and void upon passage of this directive.
- Current Senators, Justices and other representatives of New Sorvun to the Commonwealth Government shall retain their current seats and their current terms are still in place.

We've already seen the problems of having our Justice also being the High Justice. Also, I'd want to amend Article I. Section II, to make the Justice an elected position with a three month term.

Defending our strange regional laws because it's a pain to change them is one thing, but to change the law but leave in the strangeness is quite another.
What triggered this law if it isn't a response to the Commonwealth High Court controversy?

There's no way I will support this Directive or anything like it until the clause prohibiting a High-Justice from New Sorvun to be a representative is removed. Plain and simple. This is a doozy. I agree with Iro: the idea of the High Justice having to give up his regional Justice seat is quite ludicrous. That pretty much gives that particular region (in this recent case, us), two seats on the High Court since this forces the new High Justice to strip himself of his post as a member of the High Court. That makes no sense. The High Justice, regardless of what region he or she is from, should be seen as the leader of the Court and still retain the powers of a member of that court at the same time. As far as the other positions are concerned, depending on how the executive branch reforms go (I am currently brainstorming a overarching breakdown of this for the GA's review at some point), we'll have to see where things go. I do agree about a Senator giving his post up to be Secretary-General. But I have doubts about Deputy-General, because I envision the Deputy-General to act as a non-voting President of the Senate. So I can't necessarily agree with the restriction of the Deputy-General.

I feel I should point out again that this does not give us two seats on the High Court. The Commonwealth Charter states that if the High Justice loses their position as their regional representative they also lose their voting powers.

Give me one good reason why the High Justice should retain the regional vote? He is suppose to represent the whole of the High Court and be as impartial as possible in that role, having a regional vote destroys that impartiality.

The High Justice is STILL his region's representative on the High Court. Having the title of High Justice is just simply that: a title, maybe some administrative powers over the Court itself and recognition as the most senior justice on the bench. He should still have his region's vote on the Court. In our case, if Iro has stepped down as High Justice, he's still recognized as a New Sorvun representative on the court, and then you have Tsruhkwah coming in as a replacement? That's two seats, friends, and I dare you to say otherwise.

If Iro has stepped down as justice, then Iro will retain his elected power of regional justice. It's complicated, yeah.
Likako, it's your job to worry about the representation of New Sorvun on the High Court. In that case, you should talk to your rep justice specifically. It's not your job to worry about the High Court's productivity in the New Sorvun context. If it worries you that a High-Justice could be a regional justice, then take it up with the General Assembly or the Senate.
Also, and I'm not sanctioning this argument because of what I've said above, but the High-Justice position is mostly administrative and doesn't encompass much power in comparison to that of the collective justices. It means getting the Court moving, and it means representing the Court as a whole. If I do something that IS biased and against the Court's opinion in general, then I'll get censured and removed by the Court that I've violated. Why is that a problem?

I have seen time and again the High Court failing to take responsibility for any mistakes they have made, so I have no faith in their ability to do what is right by the regions.
However I will amend this proposal to remove the restriction, and also make the Justice position itself an elected position.

The High Court believes it shouldn't bother itself with reading up on regional laws, but one of the primary functions is to mediate should a conflict arise between member regions and this often is the result of a conflict of laws between the two regions, if the High Court is to do its job properly it must indulge itself on laws of the regions that comprise it. If they don't they will surely fail, if they won't, then the High Court is already failed its duty and needs to be replaced.
However, they are making amends it seems and so shall we. Here is a proposed amendment to this proposal:
- Quote:
-
Commonwealth Compliance Directive Proposed: May 25, 2013 Author: Likako A. Nehio
Article I. Commonwealth Representation for The Second Republic of New Sorvun

Section I. Commonwealth Senators.
- Senators are chosen via general election.
- Election shall be conducted at the same time as the Lord Chancellor elections
- Any citizen of New Sorvun, in good standing, is eligible to run for the office of Senator from New Sorvun.

Section III. Regional Moderator.
- New Sorvun is granted a Regional Moderator to maintain the regional forums of the Commonwealth.
- The power of Regional Moderator shall be granted to the Lord Chancellor immediately upon election.
- This power can not be delegated to a Cabinet position.
- This power must only be used in moderating the regional forums of New Sorvun and assisting in masking citizens of other member regions.
- If the Regional Moderator uses his power to assist in a masking request for another member region, he must publicly notify that he has done so.
- Usage of this power beyond what has been defined here is grounds for revocation of the Regional Moderator as well as any criminal charges that occur for such usage and possible impeachment.
Section IV. Interim

, Deputy General or High Justice or the Deputy General, and if he holds a Senate seat or a Justice seat for New Sorvun, he must resign that office.
Section II. Double Positions.
- No citizen of New Sorvun shall hold multiple Senate or Justice Seats, nor shall they hold a Senate seat and a Justice seat simultaneously.
- If a citizen is chosen for an interim position, he shall be exempt from this rule except in cases of holding multiple seats in either the Senate or the High Court.
Section III. Removal.
- The following reasons are grounds for being removed from office as a Senator or Justice.

I'm happy with this motion, and I appreciate the compromise!
Is there anything else we can improve about this Directive? If not, I say take it to vote.
