Item I Emergency Disaster Fund An Emergency/Disaster Fund is hereby established by the Senate for cases of catastrophes, to help and support mainly, but not only, Nova Roman citizens. The use of this Fund will be public and well known to the people (not only within NR, but also to beneficiaries) in a way that shows clearly that NR is making the donation.
+
 
+
I.a The fund should be fed by individual donations (public or private), and/or any other way the Senate might find appropriate.
+
 
+
I.b The Consuls shall set a deadline after which the money gathered until that moment will be delivered to the Italian Red Cross for relief of the Abruzzo earthquake victims. After that, a second deadline will be set by the Consuls, to gather money which will be devolved to an organization, yet to be identified, for the reconstruction of damaged houses and/or roman articacts and monuments in Abruzzo. After this, further deadlines and specific goals for the use of the fund may be set by the Consuls.
+
 
+
I.c No new bank account is needed. The fund will be set aside in the budget, like the MM fund. A new donation option shall be added to the relevant wiki page.

+
 
+
*TGP UTI ROGAS
+
 
+
*MIP UTI ROGAS*GEC ANTIQUO I would support this if references to specific disasters are removed. Make it a general fund whose monies can be disbursed as the Senate sees fit to any disaster in which citizens of Nova Roma are affected or the Roman heritage anywhere in the world can be protected.
+
 
+
*PUSV - UTI ROGAS
+
*GVA - UTI ROGAS
+
*QSP - ANTIQUO - Should be for Roman sites only as mentioned.
+
 
+
*PMA - ABSTINEO for the four following reasons:1/ Even if the idea is good, I think that NR must not react after every event, but allow itself time to adapt its organization and means according its goals ;2/ It is not specified whether this the Fund is a new one, or the re-clothed Emergency Fund.3/ The participation of the Treasury, as such, is not specified. If NR Treasury to put monies in this fund, where these monies will come from ? From new receipts ? From a transfer coming from existing funds, and if yes, from which ones ?4/ The Fund should work in 3 steps, as the Curia did with the MMP last year: first set the principle of a Fund ; second voting to have this or that event entered in the Fund's scope (for ex. here with the Abruzzo's earthquake). Inside these2 steps preliminary frame, the consuls would come to the Senate with a list of proposed donations (Red cross, local associations, other ones, etc.).

*QFM ANTIQVO I believe that this is admirable sentiment in a poorly written bill. I remind the Conscript Fathers our business language is English by law, therefore our SCs should be in excellent English. I also believe that if we need to give money to Aubruzzo, we need to have a separate SC detailing that and that alone. This needs to be refined and brought back to this House at a later date.*ATS Abstineo. I am not entirely convinced of the need for this on our part. There may be better ways of assisting the victims of such disasters via existing agencies, much as we sympathize with them, and particularly with those in Italia.

Item II
+
 
+
Investigation on the state of affairs of the Magna Mater Project The Senate authorizes the Consuls to instruct the Consular Quaestors to start an investigation on the state of affairs of the Magna Mater Project, and to obtain legal advice from a qualified lawyer in the United States. A report must be presented to the Senate within a month from the starting date of the investigation. The full report will be presented at the end of the investigation within 2.5 months from the starting date of the investigation.

*QSP - UTI ROGAS
+
 
+
*PMA - ANTIQUO, for five reasons :
+
 
+
1/ This item is linked to the following one. The consular quaestors cannot be asked investigated on a Project which would fall under the competency of another magistracy, and its assigned quaestors (see Item III proposal). The Item III must be set *before* the Item II ;2/ The starting date of investigation not being specified, what happens if the investigation begins on December, the next magistrates being not able to assume the acts of their predecessors ?3/ The MMP has been duly reported to the Senate several times, including last year. No new element allows to state that the previous reports, and the control applied by the Curia, would have been ill-made.4/ The limitation of the skills of the proposed lawyer in the U.S.A. would not answer, if a full new audit would be seen necessary, the legal questions on the European situation that should ask this audit.5/ If the questions asked are about the relation between NR Inc. and the incorporation country law, the matter should be examined by the Board of NR Inc. as such, duly convened, not inside the Roman Senate.

+
*FAC VTI ROGAS: I'm sure about the good goals of MMP but it this procedure is necessary to assicure you about the project, I support it

Item III Oversight of the Magna Mater Project The Senate hereby decides to remove the oversight of the Magna Mater Project from the Curule Aediles, and assigns it to the CIO Office.

+
The item fails
+
*MCC UTI ROGAS
+
*MMPH UTI ROGAS
+
*GEM UTI ROGAS
+
*TIS:Antiquo. In concordance with his approved duties, the CIO responsibility can be to oversight only the MMP website.
+
 
+
*TGP ANTIQUO The CIO is not an elected magistrate. He or she is an appointed officer of the Senate. For all this time it was OK for the Curule Aediles to oversee the MMP but get one Curule Aediles who even questions the project and oversight must change to someone who has NO questions about how it runs. It would seem that only those who believe that the MMP is the greatest thing since sliced bread can be allowed to oversee it.
+
 
+
*MIP ABSTINEO
+
*GEC ANTIQUO the MMP needs to be evaluated in a legal setting before we move it around at all.
+
*PUSV ANTIQUO
+
*GVA ANTIQUO
+
*QSP ANTIQUO
+
*PMA ANTIQUO : Even if the aediles and the censors seem the most relevant elected magistrates, especially historically, to be entrusted with the management of such a pluriformal Project like the MMP, the Senate may decide to entrust any other magistrate whose rank is high enough, however, to prevail on the quaestor who must necessarily and legally work with her/him.
+
The office of CIO, whoever be the holder of this office, does not fulfill these requirements.In such a context, the consuls should have chosen the simplest solution: to propose the Curia that they managed themselves, directly and with the help of their quaestors, the MMP.
+
 
+
*EIL: Uti Rogas
+
*FAC UTI ROGAS
+
*CCS Uti rogas. The project needs to be transferred as soon as possible away from the hands of the Aedile who has done so severe mistakes and caused so much damage to whole Nova Roma (both corporation and res publica) by his actions. I hoped that he would have been man enough to resign after such fiasco he caused by damaging public property on political motives.
+
 
+
*MMA ANTIQUO The CIO has already made it clear that he believes the MMP is fine as it is and has insulted those who have brought forth information against it, as it stands. NR gains nothing by placing MMP into the hands of one who is unaware of the potential problems that may well be contained therein.
+
 
+
*DIPI Antiquo Transferring oversight to this position makes no sense at all. This is simply an attempt to avoid accountability because Caesar has brought up uncomfortable questions about the project people would rather not answer.
+
 
+
*MIS UTI ROGAS
+
*MHM Uti rogas. This project should be transferred asap. The Aedile made baseless accusations without looking at evidence or even speaking with our CFO by his own admission. He has damaged Nova Roma's reputation. Politics drives him not regard for the res publica. He should have resigned, but is without honor.
+
 
+
*QFM ANTIQVO What exactly is this love affair with the MMP? When certain Conscript Fathers are so committed to a project that they first ignore then obstruct information using the strangest means possible, I have written enough plots and storylines to understand that there is more here that what appears on the surface. But even if this was not the case, the Aediles still are the proper administrators of such a website project, and should remain so.
+
 
+
*ATS UTI ROGAS On the assumption that this refers ONLY to the actual website of the Magna Mater Project, assentior; uti rogas. If not, I would be inclined to vote antiquo.
+
 
+
*GIC: Antiquo
+
*LCSF ANTIQUO
+
*CFD UTI ROGAS
+
*ECF UTI ROGAS
+
 
+
*MLA UTI ROGAS*CFBM Antiquo. I don't think our current aedile is the best choice for oversight, but I think the office itself should administer the project. This is why magistrates operate in pairs. Without a colleague there is the potential for abuse.
+

Item IV Senate Seal The Senate hereby decides to make the Senate Seal a binding law of all members of the Senate, whereby they should not discuss any business, including committees, outside of the Senate, except for that specifically detailed in the Senate Handbook

+
*GEC ANTIQUO although I am inclined to agree with the thought behind this, I see no reason why it should be made into law. It strikes me as particularly inappropriate at a time when so much concern is being raised over the incursion of certain magistrates into the realm of censorship for political/personal reasons. Under a set of magistrates whose actions were above reproach this might be more acceptable but in the current climate, I say that this should not be accepted
+
 
+
*PUSV ANTIQUO
+
*GVA ANTIQUO
+
*QSP ANTIQUO
+
*PMA ANTIQUO : If the discussions of *NR Inc. Board* could be private, apart its reports, the sessions of the Senate should be, as they were in the ancient times, public.
+
 
+
*EIL: Uti Rogas
+
*FAC UTI ROGAS
+
*CCS Antiquo. We should move into more open direction, not more closed.
+
*MMA UTI ROGAS
+
*DIPI Antiquo We should be moving towards more transparency, not less, especially in our current political climate.
+
*MIS UTI ROGAS
+
*MHM Antiquo. I agree entirely with Saturninus. We should move in a more open direction, not more closed. Openess and transparencey is what the Senate needs.
+
*QFM ANTIQVO The seal concept was based on protecting the identities of Nova Roma employees while their job performance was discussed by the Conscript Fathers. It was never made to allow secret discussions about the People of Nova Roma. The Seal is a courtesy that the Senate follows for the above reason. It should not be formalized.
+
*ATS UTI ROGAS

*GIC: Antiquo
+
*LCSF ANTIQUO

Item VI Dissolution of inactive provinces Inactive provinces (two Asiae, Venedia and Hibernia) are to be dissolved, and all citizens residing in areas that aren't provinces of NR should be represented and administered by the Praetors. The Praetors can divide the tasks among themselves.

*TIS: Antiquo. The Senate Committee on provincial affairs was not consulted. For what the committee was created?*
+
 
+
TGP ANTIQUO Keeping them available is better than having to recreate them later. Adding Hibernia to Britannia would make the province to big. Most of our provinces are already too big. California should be split into at least 3 or even 4 provinces and based on cities not an American state. Food for thought: My province is Mediatlantic and is one Nova Roma province but seven US states. We should reorganize our provinces along city lines and not state lines.
+
 
+
*MIP ABSTINEO. I preferred these citizens were included in adjacent provinces but I had no time to discuss here.
+
 
+
*GEC ANTIQUO Iulius Sabinus is correct; why do we have a Committee if it is not going to be used. If I had thought this over earlier, I would have recommended that this be referred like the Budget Committee item
+
 
+
*PUSV ANTIQUO
+
*GVA ANTIQUO
+
*QSP Antiquo - They could fire up any time.
+
*PMA UTI ROGAS, being reminded that the praetors will need, for managing these provinces, a dynamic help from the censors (citizenry).
+
 
+
*EIL: Uti Rogas
+
 
+
*FAC ABSTINEO: I would prefer to unit this provinces withe the closer and active provinces and this matter would be discussed by the provincial committee as said by Senator Sabinus
+
*CCS UTI ROGAS
+
*MMA ANTIQUO I do not understand how this item came to the Senate agenda without being sent to the Senate Committee for Provincial Affairs. If the Consul think so little of this committee then perhaps it should be disbanded. It would also seem that either the Consuls have forgotten who these committees are or have undertaken to make their decisions for them.
+
 
+
*DIPI Antiquo I'd rather leave them dormant ready to start up again.
+
*MIS UTI ROGAS
+
 
+
*MHM Uti rogas. As former propraetrix of Hibernia it's sad to see. I hope the future will see this province revive.
+
 
+
*QFM ANTIQVO First off as a member of the Provinces Committee this is the first I am seeing of this. So, the Consuls broke their own protocols. Next, Provinces should be decreased in size due to the population not widened. Those citizens in those provinces must administer themselves.
+
 
+
*ATS Antiquo, with reservations. I would prefer that inactive provinces be annexed to their neighbors pending reactivation. In particular, Hibernia used to be part of Britannia, and it makes good sense to restore that situation.

Item X Adoption of an Arbitration Agreement The Senate votes to adopt the use of an Arbitration Agreement for settling legal disputes initiated by or against the corporation. For legal disputes within the United States, the arbitration will be processed through the dispute resolution services of the American Arbitration Association (adr.org) using “documents only”. The purpose of adopting this agreement is to limit the legal fees incurred by the corporation that would result from settling disputes through the court system. The Arbitration Agreement is located in the Senate files section under Legal. The direct link to the document is: http://groups. yahoo.com/ group/SenatusRom anus/files/ Legal/Arbitratio n%20Agreement. Further information can be found in the presentation: http://groups. yahoo.com/ group/SenatusRom anus/files/ Legal/Arbitratio nAgreementBOD. html For legal disputes outside the United States, the proper national or regional arbitration agreements will be sought, if and when needed.

A separate session of the Board must thus be convened according the appropriate rules ;2/ the matter has not been worked enough, and is either not applicable in some cases, for example when a party refuses to compromise, or illegal in some countries ;3/ the difference is not made between the disputes which could arise within the corporation as such (NR Inc.) and the Republic, wherein the only laws to be applied are our Roman system of law, which excludes by itself the idea of arbitration. For such matters, a senatus consultum would be unconstitutional.

Item XI Risk Management Task Force The Senate votes to approve the creation of a Risk Management Task Force. The purpose of this item is to form a dedicated team focused solely on the identification and evaluation of all risk areas within the corporation and arrange them by risk level. Once their analysis has been completed, the task force will present their findings along with strategies and action items for mitigating the risk in a formal report to the Senate. They will be asked that the report be submitted within 30 to 90 days after the formation of the team. XI.a. The initial outcome of this task force will be to advise the board of which areas need immediate attention. The board should then select individuals to act on the recommendations of the task force. The task force will continue to monitor and evaluate the new measures as they are put in place, determine if they have been effective, make changes if necessary, and provide ongoing reports to the board on an as needed basis.

Item XII Citizenship certificate The Senate hereby creates a Citizenship Certificate to be given to each new citizen, as token of his allegiance to Nova Roma. It would include this information: The Republic of Nova Roma Citizenship Certificate Be it know that (Roman name) Who was born on date in (insert city) and is a resident of (insert Roman Province) has been enrolled as citizen (insert citizen number in Roman numerals) by Censors (insert year for Censors name to be inserted). By this grant of citizenship the recipient will endeavor to uphold the honor of Nova Roma, to always act in the best interests of the people and the Senate of Nova Roma and will obey, protect and defend the Constitution of Nova Roma and the laws made pursuant to it. As a citizen of Nova Roma the recipient will honor the Gods and Goddesses of Rome in their public dealings, and will pursue the Roman Virtues in their public and private life. Done on this day (insert Consular date and year). Seal It would be in Latin and the citizens’ native language. The two sided certificate would be placed in a cover like this one and then mailed to the citizen. http://www.creative filingsystems. com/Clearance- CertHldrs. html A rough draft of the proposed certificate may be found on the Senate list files section, under the name Citizenship certificate

Item XIII Grant for the annual Conventus in Europe The Aediles Curules decided to accept two years ago, in the frame of their powers and of the current laws, the candidacy presented by provincia Gallia to held Nova Roma’s Annual Conventus. After Dacia last year, the Conventus is scheduled to be held within the first 10 days of August in Burgundy, France (Gallia), around the “twin” cities of Autun (Augustodunum) and Bibracte (Bibrax). As usual, in order to be able to organize the Conventus, the hosting provincia requests a grant from the central Treasury. In the budget file inserted in the files section of our Curia, you will see that the grant requested from the Treasury is for an amount of 3,692 USD, i.e. 50 % of the provisional budget for the whole Conventus. The citizens of the Provincia Gallia citizens offer to contribute 1,477 USD (20%), and the attendants fees are being estimated at 2,215 USD (30%), on the basis of 15 cives attending. XIII.A The Senate hereby decides: XIII.A.1. To authorize a grant for 3.692 USD to the Provincia Gallia for the organization of the Nova Roma Conventus 2762 in Europe; XIII.A.2 To pay this grant before June 30th, 2762 on an account that the Praetor Galliae will specify to the Quaestrix aerari; XIII.A.3. If the definitive budget for the Conventus is by an amount inferior to 7,384 USD, the Provincia Gallia will reinburse the difference, considering that the senatorial grant will not in any case be higher than 50 % of the definitive budget.

*MMA Q.

He has not resigned any Magistry in a tiff to return asking for reinstatement, he has not left NR no matter what insults were directed against him, and many of his advices to the Senate have been sound in their simplicity and directness. We need good Governors in our provinces and this man is one of the best.

*ATS Antiquo to both On Poplicola: He does not reside in that province, will be a first year graduate student in classics when he does move there (therefore presumably too busy to take on such duties), and recently has demonstrated that he may not have the temperament for the post. On Maximus: Hoc est iter tritum; sicut antea, antiquo.
