Two things
- I wanted to clean up the description for the Politia since it does not apply and disciplinary proceedings for the QP.
- I also want to make application and disciplinary proceedings private.
Rationale for point 2.
The discussion for applications and disciplinary proceedings can get pretty personal. It is best to keep such discussion within the privacy of the citizenry. As in the days of the CdeC the applicant can choose to make the proceedings "public" if they wish to.
Clarification: The proceeding was always a private affair until removal of the CdeC and the Triumvirate. We discuss moderation history in both proceedings which the site do try to safe guard for the sake of its members. By limiting the viewing audience to only citizens, then we at least can limit its exposure and there is a vested interest and keeping it private within the Curia.
EDIT: I decided to add a provision about the nondisclosure of moderation record. It works best when the QP is close to Citizens over. Discretion is expected due to the nature of acceptance of citizenship. This will make it the obligation clear and indisputable.
EDIT 2: Changes to footnote "7" In section 1 regulation and procedures. The only time when off topic posts or personal reference is acceptable would be in those two instances only.
We want to promote the Curia and citizenship. it would be a good idea to create a thread in the Curia with a front page announcement linking the thread. The OP should include the OP of the application.

- The Consul will create a thread in the Curia main with the application information and request that Hex make a front page announcement directing people to the thread.
7 Due to the nature of the citizens' applications and ostrakonsCuria and its related fora, The Consul recognizes that off topic and personal references are allowed, within reason.
