Fellow Moderate Radicals, guest speakers, supporters of the MRPT and other guests,
welcome to the second Congress of the MRPT! Once again, we're about to run to get seats in the 46th Cosa, and is there a better way to prepare our campaign than to meet each other in our own forum?
Personally, I'm quite amazed by the growth of the MRPT. When I joined the party, shortly before the 44th Cosâ (nineteen months ago, that was when I could barely write in English) we were just three, plus Niclau that joined before the election. When we opened the First Congress, the members were already doubled. And now we're fifteen, so we have almost doubled our members again.
9 members have already registered for voting rights. If you’re not one of those 9 or you want to become a member of the party during the congress you can still register at any time though.
As in the last election, voting will be done almost only through secret ballot and IRV for the Cosâ candidates.
The following agenda has been proposed by the party leadership:
3 nov: Congress opening by Lüc da Schir
4 nov - 17 nov: vote on manifesto
- First round: 4 nov – 7 nov
- Second round (optional): 9 nov - 13 nov
- Final vote: 9 -13 nov or 14-17 nov
11 nov - 17 nov: Vote on amendments to party regulations
11 nov - 24 nov: Guest speakers
18 nov - 24 nov: Party members spontaneous speeches
18 nov - 24 nov: Appointment of Cosa list leader (Whip) by the Party Leader
- Appointment: 18 nov
- Objection/Alternatives: 19 nov - 24 nov
25 nov - 30 nov: Vote on motions.
25 nov - 30 nov: Vote on candidate list.
25 nov - 30 nov: Vote on senate endorsements.
30 nov: closing statement by Glüc da Dhi.
Members can submit more amendments to the manifesto until 9th November.
Quoting some rules from the last congress:
We are very pleased to have as many Talossans as possible participating here, but of course as with all fora it’s nice to have some structure and some rules. Most rules of wittiquette apply here as well, specifically wittiquette 1, 2, 3!, 8, 9, 11, 12, 15 and 16 (you can read lobby or general discussion board instead of chatroom)
Wittiquette can be found here: talossa.proboards.com/index.cgi?board=immigration&action=display&thread=2533
As for the division of subboards: Creating threads on the main podium is for those who are invited to speak their by the congress leadership. Everyone is of course free to comment on these threads. The ballot box is just for voting by MRPT members. Everyone is free to post on all the other boards, but please consider what board best suits the purpose of your post.
Talossans who aren’t members of the MRPT are more than welcome to create an account here or use a guest account to make comments.
Once again, welcome to the first MRPT congress. We hope you all have a great time here.
