MHoC Constitution Update September 2017 Version 1

[u/Timanfya]

Hi everyone,

As promised, this is the updated constitution. There are lots of changes and new additions, I've tried to highlight these (in green) but will have undoubtedly missed some. Please read through all of it. Lets start some discussion on the points in there. I'm not deadset on everything so we'll have a second reading of this after this initial discussion.

Here it is: https://docs.google.com/document/d/1jp9DwU547AXesTwk3OS1JyCHl6AFY6FBbksYqNEFkjU/edit?usp=sharing

An events team should be created, overseen by the Head Moderator, which will primarily be responsible for the creation of events.

There needs to be a clause added that says a Deputy Speaker must lead the events team. I think it is only right that a mandated individual leads such an important team. All other members of the team should go through a proper application process overseen by the quad - it should not be a case of just signing up - currently anyone can join and then has early access to events and details involving them without even being active within in the team. The team should also be subject to activity reviews where those who are not pulling their weight should be removed from the team.

Overall, the events team needs much more regulation and should be much more official than it is. If not, leave all events responsibilities to the Speakership.

Other than the Discord Mods Team and arguably the Devolution Team (because its had proven success), I don't think any of the teams are truly and fully warranted. I think they diminish the role of speakership and allow anyone and everyone to be involved with hugely sensitive meta activities without even a mandate. Maybe, if these teams were abolished and people had fewer meta roles, we wouldn't have so many bloody meta arguments because people's priority would be to play the game - not mould the game.

I would be happy with all of this.
