*Reforming Land Sales 
*by Patroklus Murakami » Sat Jan 25, 2014 7:32 am - "Our current mechanisms for selling land (and thereby establishing citizenship) are open to abuse. It is possible with our current rules for individuals or groups to control access to land sales and thereby to citizenship in the CDS. The way this works is to buy up plots of land whenever they become free and then control who purchases them by only selling (or giving) them to your friends and supporters."

*by Patroklus Murakami » Fri Jan 24, 2014 1:27 pm - "It has also been suggested that we should empower voters to remove RA members from office if, after the election, they prove to be regularly absent or for some other reason e.g. they behave badly and disrupt meetings or they adopt policy positions which are contrary to the policies they put in their election manifestos."

*Requests to the RA from the SC 
*by Callipygian » Fri Jan 03, 2014 1:13 pm
**Regarding by-elections: "Therefore, the SC requests that the RA consider a law that addresses filling vacant seats on RA in a more timely fashion, whether it be automatic appointment of a candidate in the previous election cycle, based on the voting of that election, or by specifying shorter timeframes for the steps in a byelection cycle, or by some other method that the RA identifies."
**Regarding documentation: "We request that RA consider contracting a qualified writer/editor/reviewer - hired and paid a reasonable real-life contracted rate - to:
***review all laws and the Constitution and identify contradictory and archaic language
***draft appropriate wording to correct these issues
***locate all RA transcripts and add them to the RA journal page of the portal
***review all transcripts and ensure that all laws are accurately recorded in the CDS laws page of the portal
***create a summary of each transcript in the RA Journals, where none exists, to allow efficient review for citizens and members of government. ( Patrolkus did such summaries during his time as archivist, and the current RA will have minutes for this)"
