Committee Establishment Act of 2022

The Committee Establishment Act of 2022, was an act of governance led by Nate. It would form four separate committees which elected members of government would serve on. The four committees created were: the War Committee, Raids Committee, Recruitment Committee, and Execution Committee. Each committee would be responsible for its own area of clan governance. While it passed both councils with some popularity, it was less effective in actuality.

## Text

"Committee Establishment Act of 2022

Requirements: Each committee must have one elder and one co-leader to be considered viable. There is no limit to how many of each council can be on any given committee. Removal of an elder or co-leader from the committee requires a majority vote from that committee. The Leader will break any tie in that voting. The committee appointments are every 6 months and will occur at a maximum of 1 month after the election of elders or co-leaders.

Application: each person desiring a specific committee need say that they’re applying for it. The Leader will keep track of all applications to each committee. A voting session in both co-leader and elder councils will be held. If the application is passed by both, then they are an official member of that committee. A clan member may only be on two committees, but can apply for all. If they don’t apply for any specific committee then they will be appointed at the discretion of the Leader.

Inter-Committee: Each committee will elect a chairman to be the voice and action of that committee. Each committee will set up the inner workings of the committee. They will have full autonomy to conduct the committee and actions of that committee as they wish.

Committees established by this Act: 1. War Committee 2. Raids Committee 3. Recruitment Committee 4. Execution Committee"

## Background

Nate would rejoin the clan after a his separation, in May of 2022. He would be a vocal member of the clan claiming that inactivity had become too frequent amongst leadership positions in the clan. He would run for the position of Co-Leader in the midterm election of 2022. Nate would run on a campaign of change and the implementation of new governmental functions. He would win the election and be named to the council on July 2, 2022. On July 4th, just his second day on the council, he began discussions about creating committees for the leadership positions of the clan. These early discussions saw support from all three of his fellow Co-Leaders.

## Proposal and Voting

The act was proposed by Nate to the Council of Co-Leaders on July 7, 2022, the same day that the First Amendment had been two years prior. The act would quickly pass the Council of Co-Leaders 3/4 (75%) in favor on the same day that it was proposed. Thea act then was moved to the Council of Elders in which it would pass 4/7 (57.1%).
