Citizenship Reinstatement Amendment
As you may or may not know I have been doing some work with citizenship and patronages etc... In my research, I have come across of active former citizens who had their citizenship removed.
Currently, if a revoked citizen wishes to become citizens, they must go through the application process again.
I would like to propose a different approach. Citizens usually lose their citizenship through misbehavior, thus the reason for this proposal.
The Proposal
Requirements
A revoked citizen may apply for reinstatement if the following conditions are met;
- Have had their citizenship revoked no less than 3 years.
Must be active* for the previous 3 years.- No Moderation warnings for1 year.
* I supposed "active" would have to be defined. Obviously, the member would have to be posting on the site.
Approval Process
- The Revoked citizen PM's the Curator with a formal request with a letter explaining; the reason for their revocation with permission to make revocation referral public, why they want to be reinstated and details on how they have changed as a member of the site. The Curator would post the referral and the letter of reinstatement it int he Politia for review by the Censors.
- The Censors determines that all requirements have been met.
- Then the letter of reinstatement along with the revocation referral is posted by the Curator in the Prothalamos, Citizens debate and after two days a poll lasting 5 days added.
- If the 2/3rd majority of non-abstaining votes, the member will have their citizenship reinstated.
This amendment does not exclude the choice to be patronized a second time.
Stealthfox's Proposal
I do not believe this would be a footnote. The specifics of the procedure would be in the footnote.A member whose citizenship has been revoked may request it restored after a period of one year from the date of removal as long as the requester has not had any moderation warnings within a one year period. Applicant PMs the current curator, who verifies the requirements and posts a thread in the Prothalomos. After a two day discussion period the Curator adds a poll lasting five days. A 2/3rds majority of non-abstaining votes in favor of reinstating citizenship is required for it to be granted. A citizen may choose to be patronized a second time.
In Section 1, Article 1 of the Constitution.
The FootnoteA member whose citizenship has been revoked have two options; They may request it restored after a period of three years from the date of removal as long as the requester has not had any moderation warnings within a one (two) year(s) period or choose to be patronized a second time.
The Applicant PM's the Curator requesting reinstatement giving permission to make public the referral that led to the revocation and explaining how they have changed. The Curator posts the information the Politia in which the Censors verifies that the requirements have been met. Once verified, the Curator posts a thread with the reinstatement letter and referral that had led to the revocation in the Prothalomos. After a two day discussion period, the Curator adds a poll lasting five days. A 2/3rds majority of non-abstaining votes in favor of reinstating citizenship is required for it to be granted.
