TRIAL: Inactive Arbiter

Players Who May Post on This Thread
Arbiters

-> To get added to this list, PM Viceroy Barb and state your reason. Hint: unless the party charged tells me you're invited, I'll need something substantive and specific.

The Charge
WHEREAS,

Section II (7) of the Standing Orders of the Conclave (SOC) states Arbiters are responsible to:
Remain active and punctual during their tenure; and

Section XIII of the SOC states in part that an Arbiter may be removed:
1. As a condition of their sentencing if he or she is found guilty in a trial.
2. By proven abuse of his or her duties as an Arbiter / a Vizier of The East Pacific.
3. Through inactivity, in which 2/3 of the active Arbiters vote to remove him or her from office.
a. For inactivity removal, the Viceroy is charged with starting a topic addressing the issue of the inactive member. The process for removal is to be treated the same way as passing a law: a maximum of one week of debate and one week of voting; and

Arbiter Terasu was invited to vote on the SOC, was present on the TEP Forum after the PM invitation was sent, and remained silent;

THEREFORE

It is my unfortunate duty as Viceroy to address the issue of removal of Arbiter Terasu for inactivity.

The Trial

1. All Arbiters are invited to submit Motion for Dismissal of Trial, if any, for consideration. If a Motion is submitted and seconded, discussion by Arbiters including Terasu may immediately proceed for a period of no more than one week.

2. Terasu is invited to:
a. resign and receive the thanks of the Conclave for service to the region, or
b. submit Motion for Dismissal of Trial and set forth grounds, or
c. submit to Viceroy by PM any representatives or witnesses relevant to the charge for inclusion above and prepare a defense to be posted here on or before Thursday, 7/22/2010.

Orders of Business

Until Items (1) and (2) stated above are satisfied, there shall be no posts irrelevant to those two items of business. Upon submission of defense, approved witnesses, and/or representatives, the floor is open for any Arbiter to ask questions or discuss the matter until Monday, 7/26/2010, or when vote is called, whichever comes first.

Pursuant to SOC Section II (5) Terasu may not vote on this matter. Because the SOC states the vote must be 2/3, an affirmative vote of 4 of the remaining 6 Arbiters shall be decisive to result in removal and an affirmative vote of 3 or less shall result in dismissal of this charge.

Arbiters and parties are invited to review Section VI of the SOC. Be mindful that the SOC states: If either party is found electioneering (attempting to sway the outcome of the trial outside of the trial thread), further consequences will be debated by the Conclave.

I still invite Terasu to please take part and express a desire to participate as an Arbiter or resign with our thanks. The time for Arbiter discussion has begun.

A good friend of mine fell and spent the better part of the last week in the hospital with cracked ribs. She didn't work, didn't play, and certainly wouldn't be here if she played this game. I have complete compassion for the notion that RL comes first.

Please correct me if I'm wrong. It has been weeks since Terasu last posted as an Arbiter. I personally invited the nation here twice. Because of my RL friend's recent mishap, I have become far less judgmental about players who take time away from this game, so the removal of Terasu does not mean to me anything except that the player is not active. For whatever reason.

I'm happy to entertain everyone's viewpoint before the vote, which per SOC will begin on or before next Monday.

I have nothing but respect for Terasu. He is a great person and a good friend. This respect leads me to recognize that we are not doing him any favors by asking him to remain on as an Arbiter. It is very easy to get overbooked and loaded down with obligations here, as with anywhere in life. When one becomes unable to perform those obligations, it is necessary to step back from them or for others to step into them. There is no dishonor in that.

I accept the resignation of Terasu and on behalf of the region, express gratitude for your service to the region. I echo Kandarin's sentiment: there is no shame nor should anyone think less of you for simply saying I cannot be active at this time.

This trial, no longer having purpose, is now ended.

The Conclave now asks the Magisterium to appoint a new Arbiter.
