The Problem:
The immediate goal of each assembly is to elect two county delegates to be placed in the Republic For Florida House of Representatives to represent that county.
But what is the Assembly to do after they have met there first goal?
How are we to utilize and support them? What is their new purpose?
Facts & Assumptions:
- An Assembly’s true purpose is to submit opinions from the county to the State Republic, forever. Their secondary purpose is to submit opinions to their County Government, forever.
- They may be a source of jurists for Common Law trials and De JureGrand Juries. However, this is up in the air at this time, or may be a temporary role.
De Jure means "Lawful".
In the political world, this is the opposote of "DE Facto" which means unlawful but the world recognizes it as lawful.
Thus a De Jure Grand Jury is the highest court in a county although currently most people think the corporate county Granfd Jury,
a De Facto grand hury, is the lawful court, which it is not. - Unless limited in size, the assembly may grow and shrink in size.
If one joins, are they there forever, or in a pool to be picked from occasionally?
Are they rotated in and out or have term limits?
These are issues that only the assembly can decide over time. - Will there be conditions to be met in order to join the assembly?
Can one get upset about the County Dog Catcher and immediately sit on the assembly, or must they train in Roberts Rules of Order first?
Or can they join first and then get trained?
Or can they just be a resident talking to an Assembly? - How will the assembly operate with ten members verses a thousand members?
- Meetings are more productive when their size is no more than six participants. With that size everyone can fairly participate, keeping down emotions. Once emotions appear logic and negotiation become difficult.
- Will there be one leader or many leaders, one body or many Committees?
- Will decisions be made by a vote of 51% or by Consensus?
- When the newly elected State Representatives arrive 120 days after the State stands up, they will need support and training too as they are novices filling those Positions.
Who will train and support them? - Each State Rep. will have to communicate their initiatives for a Bill to 133 other Representatives to get support and help in drafting an eventual Bill.
They will need training and assistance in using the Proposal Methodto communicate.The Proposal Method is a creation of Jim Costa acting as a business consultant.
It's purpose is to educate busines leaders in every aspect of a decision they are about to make.
This tkes the assumption that those leaders are not exoertes in computers, marketing, electronics, law
Income tax rules, what's haappening in their back room or in their competitors Board room.
Therefore, the Proposal Method relies on all Facts and Assumptions be stated before revealing the plan of action to be approved.
The second important aspect of the Proposal Method is it allows time for reading, private discussion and negotation before the decision meeting.
When the voting is calld, it should be a simple up or down vote.The Proposal method is recommended here so that all Assembly members can be heard equally in a room full of 400 others trying to get their points across.
The Plan:
- Training must immediately begin in the following areas:
- Roberts Rules of Order as well as Consensus Method;
- The Proposal Methodas well as having technical writers to serve those that need help in preparing tehir proposals.
