Discussion: Amendment to the presentation of bills - Tsrill - 10-22-2011 Dear chairman (and other members), as far as I can see there is no discussion on this and was put to vote immediately. While a debate before voting on a bill may not be strictly required for a democratic process, it is very much desirable. I belief strongly that no first draft is perfect, and that others catch more and/or other flaws in a text than the author. For example, in the presentation of bills act currently under vote, there is the following dubious construction (bold emphasis mine) : Quote:2. The bill must be divided into the following parts: preamble, articles, clauses, sections, amendments, repeals.Such that strictly, articles are the main clarification of the clauses, which are in turn part of the articles that are clarifying them... Further, the ? sign is an annoying inclusion as it is not standard available on keyboards. The only reason that I voted aye is that I wasn't very fond of the previous presentation of bills act either.

This followed the time frame as set forth in the Charter. There was not much discussion on this and I simply went with what was suggested.
