Is it necessary to repeal the entire Act, when you are only opposed to a very small part of it? I would suggest that you propose an amendment instead. Considering that the empowerment of the MoC is a secondary issue within the context of this Act it seems a little like using a machete to try and remove a tumor. The main intent of this Act was and is not to empower the MoC in the manner you find unacceptable, but rather to provide a statutory basis for the cartographical expansion of the RP onto other planets.

To be clear from my understanding the only part you have been opposed to are:
Therefore I suggest that the rest of the Act be left as it is while this section be amended. |

I want to repeal the entire piece of legislation because too me there are too many infractions of the MoC annexing parts of the MoRP's job. I want to have this legislative piece reconstruction then sent though the legislative process again. |

Can you give specific reference to what those parts which infringe the MoRP's rights are, other than the one I pointed out? The vast majority of this Act is purely cartographical in nature, referring to the creation of the solar system in which the RP takes place. In fact Article 3 doesn't infringe on anyone's rights as it establishes something entirely new. I will also say that the full repeal of this Act will put back a great deal of hard work on my part, to get more places open for RP in space as I rely on Article 3 in particular to empower me to sculpt the System for future claims. I am really rather hoping to be able to open up one of Yukon's moons for RP and claims, and open other features within the system for colonisation. Edited by Arcadia, Jun 3 2015, 04:33 PM.

I don't think it's necessary to repeal the entire Act, there are a lot of really valuable part to this Act that, in my opinion, should be left alone. The Assembly can simply amend this legislation if they feel there is a need to address the role of the MoC. |

I'm afraid that I just don't see the need; perhaps with some convincing I could be enlightened. Also, this has sat idle for four days, now, so I figure I'd give it a friendly bump in asking for an explanation of the supposed necessity of this law. |

In considering the options available, and after lengthy discussions with prime, I am inclined to oppose this amendment, though will most likely abstain from voting, given the delicate nature of MoC powers. |
