Office of the Assembly Speaker

[Cormac]

I'm pleased to announce that I've appointed @"McChimp" as Deputy Assembly Speaker. He has taken an active interest in the Assembly since we've gotten off the ground, and I would like to ensure that newer Lazarenes like McChimp have plenty of opportunities to participate in the Assembly.

As Deputy Assembly Speaker, McChimp's role will include:

• Opening votes if I haven't announced extension of debate within 12 hours of a motion to vote being seconded.
  
• Closing votes at their scheduled time of closure.
  
• Presenting votes he's closed to the Delegate for approval, if applicable.
  
• Assisting in moderation of discussion and upkeep of the Assembly's archives.
  
• Serving as Acting Assembly Speaker in the event of my scheduled absence.
  
• Serving as Acting Assembly Speaker in the event of my unscheduled absence exceeding two days.
  

In the event that McChimp needs to serve as Acting Assembly Speaker, he can exercise all of the Assembly Speaker's powers without any waiting period.

Congratulations McChimp and I look forward to working with you! :cheers:
