There has been a noticeable trend when it comes to proposals on council that causes a measure of concern.  This includes applying amendments towards the ending of a discussion period and even after an item goes to vote.  As such, a change to the Administrative Bylaw 3.A.ii & 3.B.ii are hereby proposed.

 

3.A.ii current reads as:

Discussion

1.       Discussion on said [PROPOSAL] shall begin immediately and last for at least a week and the proposal shall be posted on the voting page for record keeping. This week is considered the discussion period.

2.       To suggest a formal change to the proposal, in the subject of the message include [AMENDMENT] and in the body of the message include the description of what is suggested.

3.       The original author of the [PROPOSAL] may accept or reject amendments at their own discretion, if a change is accepted it should be sent to an Assistant Head Coordinator to update the [PROPOSAL] on the website
