Zedling Council

From Zedwiki

Revision as of 23:02, 5 August 2016 by Zedwick (Talk | contribs) (Forgot a bracket.)

The council meets bi-weekly to discuss matters important to the community; these may include proposed events, modifying or creating infrastructure (The Market, Nether Hub, railways, funds etc.), or hassling Zed to change how the server is run. Council members are voted in by existing members, though there is currently a maximum limit of 20 members in the council at any one time. Places may open up as existing members become inactive.

Next meeting: 2016-08-13 8PM BST, hosted by Skappy

Once a member receives their second strike, they will be removed from the Council.

The recipient of the strike may raise a topic during the next meeting to apologize and ask the Council to vote if they wish to appeal the strike. [Created 2016-01-02]
