To protect the consistency, quality, and historical value of
structures on shared public land owned by citizens, the Guild is
required to seek approval after a moratorium for all Modifications
(creation, deletion, replacement, or modification) to any Objects
(objects, scripts, textures, or terrain) sitting on public land which have been purchased by the city. The moratorium will be 10 days long During the moratorium, the proposed
Modifications to the Objects will be offered for review either in
writing (a description), in world (on display), or in forum
(photographs). At the end of the moratorium, the RA will vote on the
Modification to the Object. In the event of competing choices, The Guild will choose between the competing proposals, with that choice subject to RA ratification
Philosophy
The philosophy behind this law is that it seeks to protect the
consistency, quality, and historical value of the city’s public space
and places authority for its maintenance in the hands of those who pay
for it, the citizens. Because irrevocable changes can be made so
quickly, the moratorium and approval process provides citizens
protection against rapid and potentially undesirable change.
Additionally, the moratorium can be used to display several competing
Objects to better involve citizens in the maintenance of public land.
