| Message | I am very pleased except for these few things: 1. The ADHOCOM 000 is a chairmanless Committee, so all parties have an equal vote: this is not permissable Therefore, I propose that ADHOCOM 000 be made under the joint chairmanship of the AMPSP and the STF 2. In order to last in the long run, the ADHOCOMs must not have more nominal power than the legislature, since the legislature shall always prevail "de facto" in any dispute. Thus, we must preserve the prime potestas of the Legislature and simply allow our own auctoritas to lend the ADHOCOM 001a true, reasonable power. |
