HOGS Implementation Work

[Mangegneithe]

Hey gang, with HOGS on its way to the voting halls, it is now time to begin the two month job of preparing amendments to bring our Statutes and Standing Orders in alignment. Currently, this is what the Concordat amendment will automatically enact:

@Mangegneithe

Section 3: HOGS Amendment

1. The amendment which adds this section shall be known as the HOGS Amendment.

2. The HOGS amendment shall take effect on July 1st, 2026, upon which the first elections for both Delegate and Archon shall be held. The February 2026 Delegate Term and January 2026 Grand Vizier Term shall extend to this date.

3. Upon the effectuation of the HOGS amendment, every instance of the noun “Delegate” in Statute and Standing Orders is amended and shall be edited to say “Archon,” unless the provision deals with the mechanics of the seat of the Delegate.

4. Upon the effectuation of the HOGS amendment, every instance of “Grand Vizier” is amended and shall be edited to say “Delegate”.

5. The Magisterium is hereby instructed to review and prepare for passage an omnibus of reforms to bring Statute in line with the HOGS amendment, and every branch of government is hereby instructed to review their Standing Orders for the same purpose.

6. Article H, Section 3 of the Concordat as passed in the HOGS amendment shall be struck in its entirety by the Provost upon the complete effectuation of its terms.

We’ve also discussed that RMBC terms can no longer be tied to Delegate terms, for example, but what other tweaks need we enact to bring HOGS to nitty, gritty fruition?

The Security Act

SECTION I. CITATION This act shall be known and cited as “The Security Act”. SECTION II. DEFINITIONS “Praesidium” – the Security Branch of The East Pacific, consisting of the Viziers and any other organized bodies established by law, Standing Orders, or the Delegate to fulfil the duties of Regional Security. “Department” – any organized body of the Praesidium, which may be established, altered, or abolished by the Standing Orders of the Praesidium (SOP) or the Delegate to administer the dut…
