When the council needs to make a large decision, it is commonly put to a vote. When able to, these votes will be recorded and announced publicly in the main discord, as well as logged by RAISA, and eventually posted here for the public to refer to later. These votes that pass are referred to as Acts of Council, or AC for short. An Act of Council is only posted when it involves rules or regulations that are important for personnel to know.

Description: It creates an extremely unfair environment due to people spending months to earn their spots and people get positions instantly just for existing. This is a demoralizing feeling and is a leading factor of why people leave certain departments because they don’t stand a chance against competition against an Overseer's friend. Secondly, it promotes the ability to info breach or Admin Abuse. Especially when people are free ranked to Intelligence AD where they can info breach pretty much all classified guidelines. A counter-argument will be that “They had experience in other groups” In my opinion that does not matter. We are unique and different. You come to ALAIKA with a clean slate, and it is up to you to earn your position. We should not let free rankings walk over dedicated members of the Foundation.
Punishments for violating: A punishment against the giver and receiver. The receiver should be placed back to his original rank, while the giver should be fired or suspended. It is not fair for literally anyone.
Free ranking becomes an EC violation
The ranking is disallowed
Rank skipping is prohibited.
O5s are not immune to this act.
This act may be bypassed by executive order or O5 vote in times of need.

Description: Executive & Department Head Act.
Recently, Executives and Department Heads (except those in Departments such as MD, ScR, SD & EC). Have not been performing their duties to their fullest extent. This involves, checking applications, recruiting more members, hosting training, or giving out disciplinary actions.
In that resolve, I propose this act to the Council. This means all Executives and Department Heads should be closely monitored by their Overseers. O5 Councillors of other Departments also reserve the right to criticize other Department Directors.
In order for an L4 or L5 to keep their rank they must perform the following:
Leave of Absence is no longer than 2 weeks unless the situation is personally dire. (Family issues, education, or personal problems) because some L4s and L5s just get lazy.
They must provide a report to their Overseer at the end of every month, stating activity, what they hope to change next month, suggestions, and general issues. Which the Overseer will relay to the Council in #department-health
L4 and L5 must-read applications, if they neglect this duty. They will be warned. (Anywhere between 20 applications per week per executive is fine.)
Executives and Department heads shouldn't hold any high-ranking position in any other department. (They can still join but they shouldn't be allowed to proceed to a role that expects them to use up most of their time.)
Important
- Executives and Department Heads should agree to hold their position for at least 1 month before resigning and they must give their resignation notice at least a week before their resignation so the Overseer has ample time to fix things.

Description: Recently, a surge in complaints regarding security in the higher ranks has been brought to my attention. Foreign spies, Alt accounts of other foundation members, and members that hold high ranks in other foundations gaining top positions within our foundation have posed a serious threat to security. Enabling a possible attack within.
For these reasons, I have forwarded this bill to the Council for voting. As part of my bill, I propose the following measures be taken.
Anyone who is in IA & ISD in another Foundation is prohibited from joining any department in our foundation and achieving the rank of Level-3 or being accepted into the Foundation, this means that other foundation departments that deem themselves classified but are not named IA & ISD. Should still be treated as foreign intelligence regardless of whether it is their purpose.
Anyone who is a member of a foreign DEA is not allowed to be employed as a DEA member here. This is to prevent double jeopardy in the event that they have to choose between us and that other DEA should relations turn out to be bad.
The Intelligence Agency has to give permission to DEA first before allowing a relationship to be made. Therefore, DEA must first form a connection with that GOI. Should DEA want to ally or enemy; GOI, they must ask for the Intelligence Agency to perform a thorough background check.
Any individual who is going to be promoted to the rank of Level-5 or O5 in the future should submit to a full interview and background check by ISD.
Ratification 12/01/2024
ISD must conduct a thorough background check, including prior violations, CEs, etc., and report any findings to the Council (O5-1)
Prior to promotion L4+ personnel must submit to an interview and background check as do Level 5's and O5 candidates
Executive Protection Act
There's too much drama and shit from this happening, so here's my proposal. The only personnel who should be guarding anyone is Alpha-1 guarding L4+. No one else should be receiving a protection detail from any other individual. This means SD cannot guard their Captains, MTF can not guard their captains, UIU can not guard their MRs, ISB, and IA cannot guard their personnel, etc. This is to prevent confusion with kill zones, stealing of Alpha's job, and general confusion.
L4+ will be guarded by Alpha only.
L3- will receive no guarding force.
L5+ will be guarded by Alpha only.
L4- will receive no guarding force.

Description:
I propose that we switch over from the 1 civil 1 combative department system to a primary and secondary department system. Primary departments will be MTF, SD, and UIU. Secondary departments will be ScD, DEA, EC, E&M, and MD. FP will be allowed to join either
1 primary or 1 secondary or JUST 2 secondary departments.
This will allow FP to have more freedom when selecting from civil departments and also allow civil departments to gain more members.
MTF, SD & UIU will become Primary Departments
ScD, DEA, EC, E&M. and MD will become Secondary Departments
Limits changed to 1 primary and 1 secondary or 2 secondary. only.
