[AUTOPASS] [BYLAW REVISIONS] [AMENDMENT] Character Bylaw Overhaul

THIS PROPOSAL HAS THE POTENTIAL TO AUTOPASS

I, Chase Jelliffe, as Assistant Head Coordinator 1, hereby prop the following for adoption as our Character Bylaws in totality. Below are file links housed in the Exec drive as it is too long for email. These will be included as PDFs attached to the proposal on the website as well.

Bylaws Before: https://drive.google.com/file/d/1VjSsiV4fxPxHDaBLi52UF5WPUyxlFEWB/view?usp=sharing

Bylaws After: https://drive.google.com/file/d/1o_9ITkO4A8dFvvWwgSKaXV3bJn-cq2M9/view?usp=sharing

Changelog for things removed: https://drive.google.com/file/d/1MDUUbKceGkWUfShFVvMQSbMZY-OX2kST/view?usp=sharing

Other changes: The bylaw proposals regarding Circle of Trust and Disciple of Daeva/Chosen of Asura were incomplete as while the Ravnos office intended them to be Coordinator Approval, the props did not specifically dictate that. These are Coordinator Approval in the current bylaws and can be changed as needed by follow up props.

Amendment: Couple formatting fixes. Thanks Bruce!

This was propped on behalf of Samantha Swanson, who is the captain of our Bylaw Restructure special projects team. Here are notes from Sam regarding her process for completing this:

I have gone through every proposal that could be found which contained a bylaws change starting with the proposal that merged our Character Bylaws and Rare and Unique bylaws in April of 2016, worked through time (aprox 1,100 votes), and compiled them into the document attached. Additionally, I have a change log of things that were removed from the bylaws. If individuals wish to see the change log of things that were removed I am happy to provide that link.

Within the document I have compiled I have included comments on each change in the bylaws that happened with what proposal changed them. There is color coding included to denote if something was relocated because it was mispropped to the wrong location. If something was redundantly proposed, only one instance was kept. This is specifically regarding custom Paradigms of magic which was propped twice, once in 2017 and another in 2019.

There is one instance within the document that is an incomplete bylaw passed by Council that isn’t in the current bylaws, it reads as “Lores for Earthbound Chaos, Violation,”. This bylaw was put into this document as it was proposed and passed by council in 2017. I recommend that a proposal is submitted to fix it as soon as this proposal’s time on council concludes. 

Thank you Sam and those who helped her in completing this massive undertaking!
