[Discussion] Decorum
Posted: Sun Jan 05, 2014 9:10 pm
So I've had this rolling around in my head all day: Would it be worth it for us as a legislature to have some basic guidelines for decorum in the chambers?
I know a lot of decorum rules are pure gibberish, but I think some of it could be helpful in the area of focusing our attentions on the real issues, not to mention ensuring that when we're really pissed off we still call each other "the honored councilor" and such.
So anyway, before I create a draft of guidelines(and it would be guidelines, rather than "rules"), I thought I'd get some thoughts on what it should include, or if we should bother. The floor is yours.
