Amend R120 to read: "The Agent who submits a Motion is its owner. An Agent may never own more than ten live Motions of any one type, and may never submit more than ten Motions of any one type in a single day; otherwise an Agent may make a new Motion of any type at any time. New Motions are live and active by default. Live Motions which are neither being voted on nor for which consent is being sought are revisable, and may be activated, deactivated, or withdrawn, but only by their respective owners. In no other case may a Motion be altered. When a Motion is withdrawn, it becomes dead. Each Motion type is either Approvable or Unilateral. Approvable Motions are subject to voting or consent, as per the Rules, while Unilateral Motions need no such approval to take effect. Each Motion type is either Primary or Secondary. Primary Motions are assigned serial numbers by type, while Secondary Motions are assigned serial numbers as a group." 2.

Motions for which quorum is not met remain alive, but are not adopted. Elections for which quorum is not met are held again in the next nweek, and the term of the current Officer is extended by one nweek."

Any Player who declines nomination for an Office prior to voting ceases to be a candidate for that Office." 10. Create a new Rule entitled "Elections" as follows: "Voters may cast exactly one vote for a candidate for each Elective Office on the Ballot. Whichever candidate receives a plurality of the votes cast for an Elective Office shall assume that Office upon the expiration of the erstwhile Officer's term. In the event of a tie for the most votes among two or more candidates for an Elective Office, the Administrator shall select one of those candidates to hold the Office." ---- add proposal 401/0 1 16 Feb 2001 02:56:31 Joel Uckelman Recognition Elimination 1.
