Council setup: 7 experts, 1 gramarist Council purpose: The council is expected to oversee the Gramarie project as a whole. They will bring problem points and new material to the attention of the community, and oversee the adjustments of said material. They will consider adjustments and ideas of material as provided by the community, ensuring that any problem areas are appropriately resolved. Should material have two contested resolutions offered by the community, the council will decide which to keep. Should the solutions offered by the community be insufficient to resolve the problem at hand, the council has the right to discard said changes and request new ones. Community Member: A community member is anyone who wishes to participate in the Gramarie project. Community members are responsible for voting Experts into office on a monthly basis. Community members may provide up to seven votes for Experts. These votes must all be for different community members, and a community member may not vote for themselves. A community member may provide less than seven votes if they wish, and may opt not to vote at all. They have the right to provide new material, adjusted material, means to resolve problem points, and suggestions on how to improve the project as a whole. Should a community member create content that they wish to be incorporated into the Gramarie project, they should bring it to the attention of an Expert. Experts: An Expert is someone in the Gramarie community that is well respected and/or trusted with the ability to balance homebrew projects. As such, an Expert is still considered a portion of the community, entitled to the same rights and permissions thereof. They have the right to call problem points, contested resolutions, and new material to the attention of the council. When the council calls a vote, the Expert is allowed a single Vote, except when a vote is called on new material that the Expert has designed, or on a contested resolution where the Expert has provided one of the resolutions. An Expert is expected to have a reliable means of communication, and is required to inform the council should they be without said means for any extended length of time. An Expert may remain in the position indefinitely, as long as the community repeatedly votes them into office. Gramarist: The Gramarist is Kellus. The Gramarist has the same rights as an Expert in all respects, except that it is allowed two Votes whenever a vote is called for. Should the Gramarist decide that they wish to revoke their right to a seat on the council, they have the sole discretion to transfer the seat to another community member, or to permanently remove the seat from the council. Council votes: The council will vote whenever new material, adjusted material, problem points, or contested resolutions are brought to the attention of the council by an Expert. These votes may be informal, but all votes will be collected in a manner that allows records to be kept. The vote of each council member will be available to other members of the council, but only the final tally will be available to the community. The length of time for a vote to be submitted will be determined by the council when the vote is called for, and may be anywhere between 48 hours and one week. It is not possible for a vote to be determined before all votes have been tallied or the time frame for the vote has been exceeded, whichever comes first. A member of the council has the right to change their vote at any time during the time frame for the respective vote. When all votes are tallied or the time frame has been exceeded, the option with the most votes will be put into place by the council. Should the council vote result in a tie, the council shall call for a community vote, with a time frame of one week for vote submissions.
