Can we please go back just one year, rather than two, for past affiliations? I don't think we need past affiliations listed at all, but we shouldn't go any further back than a year. Asking people to remember years worth of past affiliations is asking too much.
I'm against the citizenship appeals process. I would prefer the Assembly hear citizenship appeals, as in Amerion's draft, but that's not the main point of concern and I could tolerate the CLS as a compromise as long as it's not the Court hearing citizenship appeals. As currently worded, the citizenship appeals process requires the CLS to admit an applicant to citizenship on appeal if they have made the pledge sincerely and have not been found guilty of any crimes. That's way too lenient. That essentially strips the Delegate of their discretion to deny citizenship to someone they consider a security risk, because that's not one of the criteria the CLS considers on appeal. I much prefer Amerion's citizenship appeals process, with the Assembly able to overturn a rejection for any reason by 2/3 vote.
There is also no provision for forum administration in this bill, making it potentially unconstitutional.
