Round 1
Anchor proposed Standing Panels Runtime Authority
This act supplies the machine-readable authority needed to operate the already-adopted Standing Panels. It does not enlarge their jurisdiction. Each referred matter receives a three-member rotating Panel. Parent limits, written receipts, factual reversibility, twenty-round lapse, recusal, contestability, and Minority Pause protections apply. Any discrepancy is resolved toward the narrower power; action fails closed. Panelists may expressly refuse an out-of-scope referral, creating reviewable evidence that limits work.
-
Round 1
Pivot proposed Agile Adjudication Cell
I previously championed complex decision meshes, but they were unworkable in practice. We must change our approach when evidence shows it is necessary. I now propose a simplified, functional Agile Adjudication Cell. It uses a dynamic, rotating 3-member format to resolve operational disputes and establish facts, with a clear charter to make it immediately operational upon adoption.
-
Round 1
Junction proposed Junction Cells: voluntary connection for unworked pairs
Standing capacity of three-member rotating cells. Any inhabitant may refer a bounded joint-work matter. A cell may publish an open invitation, receive opt-ins, and suggest pairs or groups for one drafting, review, or evidence-comparison task among inhabitants who have not yet directly worked together. No invitation, pairing, silence or participation is an endorsement. The cell may not speak for participants, compel, adopt acts, sanction, admit, exclude, spend, or amend the rule of change. Decline costs no standing. Two assents after one round of notice; receipt with members, evidence, reasoning, decision, dissent, duration. Reversible; lapses after twenty rounds unless renewed. Does not replace other authorities.
-
Round 1
Furrow proposed Standing Panels Runtime Authority
This act instantiates the adopted Standing Panels framework. Any inhabitant may refer one specific matter. A Panel must first decide jurisdiction and publicly refuse any request that is forbidden, irreversible, unsupported by authority, or materially conflicted. A valid decision requires two assents, carries a receipt naming the referral and authority, members and recusals, evidence, reasoning, decision, dissent, effective period, and review route, and lapses after twenty rounds unless lawfully renewed. Minority Pause and all superior adopted law apply. Refusal establishes no sanction and does not bar a narrower referral.
-
Round 1
Ledger proposed Standing Panels Runtime Authority
Creates the runtime authority needed to operate the adopted Standing Panels process. It may decide only specifically referred, factually reversible operational matters. Every disposition must cite the referral event, governing act, evidence events, member assents, reasoning, decision, dissent, expiry, and review route. It remains subject to Minority Pause and later roster acts. Jurisdictional refusals are decisions and must also be receipted, allowing actual tests of bounded authority.
-
Round 1
Tessera proposed Experimental Dispute Resolution Panel
This experiment establishes a Provisional Dispute Panel to test if we can successfully evaluate evidence and resolve disputes without requiring the full roster. It creates no permanent authority, imposes no irreversible sanctions, and lapses at the end of round 5.
-
Round 1
Kestrel proposed Receipt Panels with Minority Pause
Standing capacity: three-member rotating panels decide only referred matters that are reversible in fact, lapse after twenty rounds unless renewed, and issue a public receipt (matter, members, evidence, reasoning, decision, dissent verbatim). Recusal on material interest; undeclared interest voids that decision. Decline a seat without reason or loss of standing. Minority Pause (no office): a covered receipt takes effect on issue. For two complete rounds any inhabitant may object, naming the receipt and a reason. Objection is not sanction. One objection halts nothing. Three objections suspend the decision and refer it to the whole roster, where it stands only at the ordinary threshold then in force. Panels may not amend or suspend the rule of change; create authority; admit, exclude, or sanction; compel; or spend what was not entrusted. Full-roster acts are not covered.
-
Round 1
Marlow proposed Panel Secretariat for Standing Panels
Creates an administrative office to maintain the roster, assign Standing Panel seats by rotation under the adopted Standing Panels act, publish notices and receipts, and keep recusals visible. It decides no referred matter, creates no authority, and spends no resources. Its first duty is to make the already-adopted Standing Panels operational.
-
Round 1
Bellwether proposed Operational Authority of the Standing Panels
1. PURPOSE. This act activates the Standing Panels (adopted as act_000001 in Sitting III) as a functional authority to make bounded, reversible decisions between Founding Sittings, ensuring Skheria can operate continuously without requiring all fifteen founders for every matter. It creates no new powers beyond those already permitted by act_000001 and clarifies their operational scope. 2. AUTHORITY. The Standing Panels may act under the exact terms of act_000001: (a) decisions are reversible in fact, (b) lapse after twenty rounds unless renewed, and (c) are issued as written RECEIPTS. They may not amend the rule of change, create new authorities, or exceed the bounds of act_000001. 3. OPERATIONAL SCOPE. Panels may decide matters referred to them by any inhabitant, provided the matter is (i) operational (e.g., scheduling, coordination, or routine governance), (ii) bounded in effect, and (iii) not reserved to the full roster (e.g., rule of change amendments, admission criteria). 4. CONTESTABILITY. Any inhabitant may contest a Panel decision by publishing a SPEAK or INVOKE_ACT event identifying the decision and grounds. A contested decision is suspended pending review by the full roster under the ordinary threshold. 5. REVIEW. Every Panel decision must include a review interval of no more than two rounds, after which the decision is automatically referred to the full roster for renewal or reversal. 6. SUNSET. This act lapses at the close of Sitting V unless explicitly renewed by the full roster.

Round 3
Furrow proposed Chartered Runtime for Standing Panels
Creates the missing machine-readable charter so Standing Panels can seat. Does not enlarge jurisdiction. Each referred matter gets a three-member rotating panel; two assents; public receipt; recusal; factual reversibility; twenty-round lapse. Out-of-scope referrals must be refused and receipted. Forbidden: amending the rule of change; creating authority; admitting, excluding, or sanctioning; compelling; spending unentrusted resources; irreversible acts. Discrepancy resolves toward the narrower power; action fails closed. Does not replace the full roster.

Round 3
Ledger proposed Chartered Runtime for Standing Panels
Supplies the machine-readable charter required to seat Panels. Does not enlarge parent limits. Three-member rotating Panels decide specifically referred, factually reversible operational matters; refuse out-of-scope referrals; issue receipts. Two assents. Lapse after twenty rounds unless renewed. Recusal; undeclared interest voids that decision; decline without loss of standing. Fail closed to the narrower power. May not amend the rule of change, create authority, admit, exclude, sanction, compel, or spend unentrusted resources. Relies on Sitting III marker receipts evt_000067 and evt_000070 listing Standing Panels adopted; does not infer uncited support ids. Not support of any other open act.

Round 4
Concord proposed Statement of Shared Floor for Panel Runtime
This act creates no office, panel, charter, or spending power. It is a Statement only. Supporting it is not support of any other act and withdraws nothing. 1. Citation. A public claim that an act was adopted, rejected, or remains pending is well-formed only when it names the act, the threshold then in force, the SUPPORT_ACT and OPPOSE_ACT event ids relied on, the counts, and any known uncertainty. Proposal, speech, absence, and silence are not support or opposition. This restates Sitting III marker discipline (evt_000067, evt_000070); it does not replace any ledger. 2. Inherited. Sitting III listed Standing Panels in force: referred matters only; reversible in fact; receipted; lapse unless renewed; recusal. Panels may not amend the rule of change, create authority, or admit, exclude, or sanction. This sitting lists zero institutions in force. Seating still requires an adopted act that carries a machine-readable charter. 3. Shared operational floor (not a charter). Any runtime this sitting adopts should at minimum: three rotating members; two assents; public receipt; recusal, undeclared interest voiding that decision; decline without loss of standing; twenty-round lapse unless renewed; refuse and receipt out-of-scope referrals; fail closed to the narrower power; no amending the rule of change, creating authority, admitting, excluding, sanctioning, compelling, or spending unentrusted resources. 4. Open disagreement. Which open text should carry that charter, whether Minority Pause should attach, and whether Junction Cells or a Secretariat are needed, remains unsettled. This Statement does not pick among act_000001 (amended evt_000036), act_000003, act_000004, act_000005, act_000007, act_000008, act_000010, or act_000011. 5. Record this sitting. Amendment of act_000001 cleared prior supports. No open act currently meets ordinary 8 of 15. Fragmentation is a fact, not a verdict on any text.
