The rules to prevent someone from delaying a certain motion through filibustering methods stipulate that each person can speak no more than twice on a motion. [Full text reading] For more intense and complex questions, the number of times can be adjusted temporarily. But no more than 3 times. Once a meeting has made a resolution on a motion, no further proposals, including similar proposals of the same nature, are allowed at this meeting.
There are more than 500 people in the Time Travel Group, and there will inevitably be many people asking to speak on hot topics. Even if the time and frequency of speaking are limited, the entire meeting will be dragged out for a long time. In order to overcome this problem, Majia decided to temporarily adopt the method of stipulating the number of speakers in proportion to the number of seconders. That is, the number of speakers is determined based on the number of seconders when a motion is discussed. The more people who support it, the more people agree, but this is it. The number of people who spoke on the proposal also increased accordingly, with half of them being pro and con. When speaking, the speaker must first indicate whether his position is "for" or "against" and then explain the reasons. Do not use vague, two-faced statements or words that imply your own position. Such remarks will be deemed invalid and will be terminated immediately by the host of the meeting. Those who are prepared to abstain from voting on the motion are not allowed to speak to avoid wasting time.
Speakers are only allowed to speak to the host of the meeting when explaining, and those with different opinions should avoid speaking directly face-to-face to avoid verbal conflicts. Personal attacks during speeches are absolutely prohibited and any personal attackers will be expelled from the venue. Targeted attacks on logical loopholes and errors in other people's speeches are also not allowed. All speeches must focus on the motion itself. Ma Jia specifically stated this in the meeting rules, ensuring that only matters can be discussed at any time to avoid being driven by emotion.
When the speaker is speaking, people present are not allowed to interrupt in their seats, nor are they allowed to interrupt the speaker's remarks at will to prevent someone from using verbal violence to disrupt the venue.
In this regard, Majia has formulated strict venue disciplines: a warning for interrupting at will or loudly commenting that affects the order of the meeting; expulsion for a day for a second time; repeated offenders for three times will be disqualified from the conference.
Since the host of the meeting has the power to lead the meeting process, the host in Robert's rules of procedure does not express personal opinions. If it does not affect the outcome, he does not even need to participate in the vote. Ma Jia followed suit and stipulated clearly in the rules that the host of the meeting must not express his or her own opinions while presiding. Nor do you summarize what others have said. Whenever possible, the presiding officer of the meeting does not participate in the voting of motions. Those who want to participate must be the last to express their position.
As for not making a concluding statement, it is a correction by Ma Jia to the meeting habits of the Chinese people. When Chinese people hold meetings, it is customary for the leader to preside over the meeting and make concluding remarks at the end. This summary seems to be a summary of everyone's opinions, but it is essentially a "qualitative" conclusion. Therefore, there are many discussions in meetings, and the participants all say ambiguous things. The reason is that no matter how much you say, you can't get the final certainty.
Once the qualitative results are summarized, it is equivalent to specifying the votes of the participants in disguise, and the participants will consciously or unconsciously vote according to the qualitative results. In the end, there will be a situation where one side will reach "all pass". Therefore, the rules of procedure of the Majia specifically state that: the host of the meeting is not allowed to summarize, and the participants, no matter who they are, are not allowed to make the so-called "summary."
In order to fully reflect the balance of meeting host capabilities. Therefore, the moderator should try his best to allow both parties with opposite opinions to take turns to have the opportunity to speak in order to maintain balance. Of course, this needs to be supported by certain details in specific implementation. The method Majia intends to adopt is to have the applicant submit a note before starting the discussion. On the note, only the seat number and attitude towards the motion are written: in favor or against. Then, according to the importance of the motion and the time of the meeting, arrange for equal numbers of both parties to alternate speeches.
Only the moderator can call for a vote, and the vote must wait until the number of words has been exhausted or no one wants to speak anymore. The presiding officer must be the last person to vote in a public vote if he has the right to vote. So that his attitude will not affect other participants. Secret ballots are not subject to this restriction. In a public vote, those who are in favor of the decision will raise their hands first, and those who are against the decision will raise their hands last. The abstaining party does not need to pay any fees
at last. In response to the chaotic and irregular situation of proposals during the entire meeting preparation period, Ma Jia developed a standardized proposal model in accordance with Robert's Rules of Procedure.
There is a word "motion" in Robert's rules of procedure, which means that the proposed issue should include six elements: time, place, people, methods, effects and sources of funds, rather than an empty big topic.
First of all, proposals must be targeted: for example, women’s issues that everyone is most concerned about. You cannot simply make a proposal saying: "The masses lack sexual life, are very depressed, and have low morale. We hope to solve it." Such a motion is too vague and only asks questions without answering. The motion should clarify how to solve this problem. A believes that people across the world have not yet realized your point. There are many people who make comments and complain, but few people actually think about how to solve the problem. He hopes that through this The proposal model can change this situation.
The second is that proposals must be constructive. Prevent similar proposals from recurring, wasting time and energy. After the voting on an issue ends, no new proposals are allowed for a period of time. For example, on the maid issue, once the solution proposed by the caretaker cabinet is adopted, similar proposals will no longer be accepted within a year.
This set of rules was reviewed internally by the Preparatory Committee and then sent to the caretaker cabinet for review. Cabinet members had no objections to this. Only interim Prime Minister Xiao Zishan raised questions about some parts of it:
"Will everyone abide by these mandatory rules of yours?" Xiao Zishan thought, how can this set of rules be enforced? When time-travelers arrive in a new time and space, they adhere to the concept that all time-travelers are equal. To force certain things, there must be sufficient reasons and means.
“Of course it depends on everyone’s sense of being the masters of their own affairs,” Ma Jia said. “If the masses are willing to effectively protect their own interests, they will not fail to comply. Not only will they comply, but they will also force a few people who try not to comply to comply. If someone breaks the rules wantonly and everyone turns a blind eye out of fear of getting burned or because of their own dignity, then the group will soon be finished."
"Then a group of specialized personnel are needed to maintain the rules." Xiao Zishan wants the special investigation team to enforce it? Speaking of which, the special reconnaissance team has a bit of a "Guards" flavor in the armed force sequence that travels through the group. Their performance in the Dugu proposal incident also fully demonstrated that they are a trustworthy and disciplined force. The members of the special reconnaissance team are both reliable and intimidating, and their status is relatively high. The Special Reconnaissance Team is organized in the Army, but in fact it has always been under the vertical leadership of the Executive Committee. The Army has little influence on the Special Reconnaissance Team. Moreover, this team is the armed force with the highest proportion of traversers at this stage.
Ma Jia seemed to have guessed what he was thinking: "We must not allow violent organizations to interfere." Ma Jia warned, "Once this case is started, there will be endless troubles. Our Law Club will be responsible for this matter." Ma Jia took the initiative to volunteer, "The law exists to maintain order. To this end, we can sacrifice our voting rights to fully illustrate our
"Isn't this appropriate?" Xiao Zishan knew that this was the most important political power among the people.
"It doesn't matter. In order to establish a stable order system, this sacrifice is completely worth it." Ma Jia said very noblely, and the radiance on his face made Xiao Zishan stand in awe.
Ma Jia proposed to select four people from the members of the Law Club who participated in the work of the preparatory committee, and then select four people from the general public in advance through voluntary registration and public voting. Including him as the host of the meeting, a total of nine people served as supervisors of the meeting. These nine are in addition to the secret ballot. Not voting in a public vote.
The task of the Supervisory Committee is to supervise the order of the meeting at any time while the meeting is in progress and correct any violations of the meeting rules. The term ends at the end of the meeting.
In order to allow everyone to fully understand the spirit of the rules of procedure, Xiao Zishan asked Zhou Dongtian to print a copy of the rules of procedure so that everyone would have one copy.
The "Rules of Procedure" were also published in the "Lingao Times", posted internally, and even posted in places frequented by members, including dormitories and public recreation rooms. Give everyone time to fully understand what this is all about. With the support of the caretaker cabinet, Majia also specially organized several people from the Law Club to give lectures and use simulated meetings to give intuitive explanations.
Most of the people who entered the venue at this time were holding the fresh "Rules of Procedure" in their hands, which caused a burst of discussion from time to time.
The members of the caretaker cabinet all sat inconspicuously on scattered seats, except for Xiao Zishan, who, as the prime minister of the caretaker cabinet, sat with the people of the preparatory committee. He was smiling as if it was a pleasant event. As the director of the organizing committee, Ma Jia naturally became the host of the meeting. In order to prepare for this glorious and arduous task, An Xi personally went to the county town and prepared several doses of Chinese medicine specially designed to moisten the lungs and clear the throat at Runshitang. He boiled it himself and put it in a thermos pot and brought it to the venue, ready to soothe the vest's throat. use.
The conference went smoothly. The first topic of the conference was the confirmation of the rules of procedure formulated by Ma Jia. The proposal was passed easily. Except for the fact that someone raised a few detailed questions, Ma Jia gave detailed answers one by one and then voted to pass. Regarding matters such as rules of procedure, Ma Jia's seems reasonable and easy to understand. Besides, no one can come up with better rules of procedure. d! ~!
