Amendments to Charters can currently be proposed by prospective Leads of Council, Boards, and the Anticapture Commission at the start of a Season.
You can find the most recent Charter template here, please note the specific formatting requirements for the Participant Responsibilities and Eligibility section.
In order to propose changes to a Charter, to be implemented at the start of a Season, an amendment proposal can be made by any prospective Lead.
For Season 8, Charter Amendments are due by June 23rd at 19:00 GMT for Voting Cycle #39a. The proposer of any Charter Amendment is self-nominating as Lead for the respective Council or Board.
Amendments to the ACC Charter, which does not have a corresponding budget, are subject to the same voting procedure as the original proposal (quorums, approval thresholds, approvals, etc.) In the case of the ACC, this requires a 30% quorum and a 51% approval threshold in the Token House (not subject to Citizens’ House veto.)
