MOTION: platform likely to be superseded by 'Form of Government' documents
From: "Sterling D. Allan, facilitator, RSICC" <sterling.d.allan@rsicc.org>
To: full RSICC membership
Subject: MOTION: approve wording: platform 'likely to be' superseded by "Form of Government" index The following statement has been added to the beginning of Remnant Saints International Patriot Alliance's "Declaration of Principles" document at http://www.patriotalliance.org/Platform/
PREFACE STATEMENT:
This document is likely to be superseded by
http://rsicc.org/Form currently under development. (RSICC sustaining vote pending) See RSICC Newsletter V1N6 February 3, 2002
http://www.patriotalliance.org/Platform/
is the "Declaration of Principles" document mentioned in RSICC's mission
statement. ["As the elected body representing Remnant Saints International Patriot
Alliance, we ascribe to the mission statement and Declaration of Principles of that
organization."]
Because the wording of the added preface statement is not
"IS superseded" but the less concrete wording of "IS LIKELY TO BE superseded,"
I do not see a reason why we need to have anything more than a simple majority to approve this
wording, for it is consistent with our core documents now in place.
At some point, when the guild is adequately familiar with the
"Form of Government" documents, and we have come to a fair consensus on the suitability
of the working drafts, then we can change the wording on the platform preface to read,
"HAS BEEN superseded," making that document essentially obsolete, other than as a
historic reference to our humble beginnings. This will entail the need to revise the RSICC
mission statement and the membership checklists so they no longer refer to the platform but to the
'form of government' documents. At that point, we will need to evoke a supermajority vote
and a requirement that every guild member sign on to the revision to continue membership in the
guild.
So the current motion is to have a simple majority vote to sustain the
addition of the above preface statement to the platform.
After a second of this motion, it can be discussed prior to its being
brought to a vote.
If the vote supports this, then the following portion of the preface,
which reads
can be replaced with wording to the effect: "See RSICC vote; Feb.
x, 2002," which will link to this current motion after it comes to a vote.
The current reference, "RSICC Newsletter V1N6," links to http://www.rsicc.org/Newsletter/2002/Feb3_Blueprint.htm (please
see). It is a report on the meeting I had with Joel Skousen here in my home,
and compares the levels of government with the structures in a home: the footing being
compared to the 'Fundamental Rights of Man,' the foundation being compared to the 'Principles of
Law and Government,' etc. Toward the end of that newsletter, I comment that Joel and I went
through the 'Declaration of Principles' (RSIPA Platform) together, and as we did so, it was
obvious to me that this document would be replaced by what we are now doing with the "form of
government" work that Joel has pioneered.
This purpose of the proposed preface wording is to have that tentative
sentiment approved by RSICC.
