Proposal to amend the length of a cabinets term in office

Having heard suggestions that a 75 day cabinet is too short to get anything done, and noticing that 75 does not divide into 365, making it difficult to plan ahead in these situations, I propose the term length be extended to3 months

The terms would run as follows

January-March
April-June
July-September
October-December

It was one of my intents this cabinet term to put forth an amendment of this type. I just have had no good opportunity to think about writing like I used to.

Setting specific month borders may be an issue because I know of a few occasion in which our SG has missed a deadline (either due to not existing or just forgetting). We wouldn't want to punish a future cabinet with shorter terms because a previous cabinet member forgot.

I like it, I think future SGs will find it easier to remember, if election process is due to start on say the 1st of (whatever 4 months it may be).

It seems there is support for lengthened Cabinet terms, but I agree with Defwa's point that there might be issues ifwhen the Secretary-General forgets to begin election procedures (particularly if you keep re-electing me :P)

Also, when it comes to opening this suggestion to official scrutiny, you should write it up as an amendment. (i.e. "Subsection 1.2.3 of the Charter is amended as follows: ...")

Understood. The only reason i didnt write it properly in the first place is:
A. Time issues
And
B. Laggy Keyboard
