Citizen #22:
Miestrâ Schivâ | Azul:
As Chair of the Constitutional Committee, I hereby announce to the Convention as a whole, and to the world, that four out of the five members of the Committee (Chris Gruber, Jonathan Kelley and Martì-Páir Furxhéir) have agreed to a modified final draft of the Constitution for the Republic of Talossa.
I announce, therefore, that the constitutional process is complete, and this Convention is closed. Thank you so much to all Talossans who participated in this long, strange trip. When I took my seat on the Committee, nine months ago, I had no idea it would take so long to get here. But here we are. And I truly think this is the kind of constitution we can all be proud of.
The Definitive Draft of the Constitution of the Republic of Talossa is here. I hereby request that the provisional Secretary, M-P Furxhéir, make preparations to present it to the people for a referendum on its ratification, as provided in section 1 of the Appendix to the Constitution. I also hereby request that Secretary Furxhéir draw up a set of rules for the referendum to be presented to the Provisional Governing Council for approval, as provided in section 2 of the Appendix to the Constitution.
As one final note, I would make it clear that section 1 of the Appendix provides that this constitution must be approved by a 2/3 majority of those voting, and a majority of citizens of the Republic. Now that we have 20 citizens, that will mean that this constitution only passes if we get eleven PËR votes and no more than five CONTRÂ votes in the referendum.
I can assure you all that I, at least, plan to vote për. I hereby lay down my Chairwomanship and declare this convention closed. See you in the funny papers.
