The debate phase of the meeting will occur from October 18 until October 25.

An online video chat will occur as part of the debate phase on a date before October 26. This session will be recorded and made public.

The voting phase of the meeting will occur from October 26 until November 4.

I request that all magistrates submit items for discussion here for they may be considered on the agenda. Any magistrate who is not a consul or praetor will need their proposal sponsored by one of the following major magistrates first before being added to the agenda: Consul L. Curtius Philo, Consul. L. Aurelius Curio, Praetor M. Flavius Celsus or Praetor K. Cispius Laevus.

[Caeso Cispius Laevus]

AGENDA

I. Proposed Lex Cispia: Temporary automatic delegation of duties upon absence of an elected magistrate (Sponsor: Praetor K. Cispius Laevus)
This lex will formalize certain junior magistrates as substitute aediles, praetors, or consuls if one becomes indisposed for more than 4 weeks. All duties of the absent higher magistrate would automatically fall to the designated junior magistrate until the missing magistrate returns or a replacement is found.

II. Proposed Lex Cispia-Iunia: Recognition of past magisterial service within Nova Roma as equivalent to present service in the Roman Republic (Sponsor: Praetor K. Cispius Laevus)
This lex will recognize service in Nova Roma before 2010 as equal to duty in the same position within the Roman Republic. For example, a past Nova Roma consul is regarded as a past consul in the Roman Republic and entitled to all the same honors and privileges.

III. Proposed Lex Cispia-Furia: Defining societas (Sponsor: Praetor K. Cispius Laevus)
This will reintroduce this proposal viewtopic.php?f=4&t=2001#p9689 discussed previously in the 6th session of the Senate.

IV. Proposed Lex Cispia-Furia: Defining collegia (Sponsor: Praetor K. Cispius Laevus)
This will reintroduce this proposal viewtopic.php?f=4&t=2000 discussed previously in the 6th session of the Senate.

V. Proposed Lex Cispia: Denarii stipends for collegia (Sponsor: Praetor K. Cispius Laevus)
This will reintroduce this proposal viewtopic.php?f=4&t=2002 discussed previously in the 6th session of the Senate.

VI. Proposed Lex Cispia: Annual collegia and societas tax (Sponsor: Praetor K. Cispius Laevus)
This proposal will introduce an annual tax on all collegia and societas. The logic behind this lex is to encourage denarii trade by the collegia and societas. It is to run synergistically with item V on the agenda.

VII. Formation of a formal working group to create a working online store demo with two products for sale for the Roman Republic before January 1, 2018 (Sponsor: Praetor K. Cispius Laevus)
This will form a senatorial working group which will have the authority to create a working demo of an online store to raise funds for the Roman Republic. This group is to be chaired by myself or alternatively a consul if they wish such a role. The aediles and aranearius will be voting members on this committee and are requested to join and participate. Any quaestor, praetor, consul, tribune, censor or senator may join the committee as voting members if they volunteer.

LEX AURELIA: On Absences of Higher Magistrates (http://romanrepublic.org/forum/download/file.php?id=457) seems to fulfill most of these objectives. I don't want to jump the gun before reading your proposal, but you may want to consider amending this current and active Lex Aurelia rather than reinventing the wheel.

I look forward to reading the proposal in full during the meeting.
