___ Require all the elected members to be in communication either through facebook, email, twitter, telephone or postal service or else their name will be eliminated after one year.

___ Once the number of seats on the executive is determined by a majority of the elected MIPs then an election of names who have self-nominated for those seats will take place on the first full week that follows. The election begins on Sunday morning and ends Saturday night at midnight Pacific Standard Time (PST). All current names elected to the executive automatically qualify for the election's ballot, there will be three write-in spaces for new names and only the elected 100 MIPs (up to fifty MIPs and fifty Donor MIPs) may vote on the executives under this rule. All MIPs and new MIPs may change their vote as a "vote of confidence" into perpetuity.

___ The number of seats on the executive may remain at ten but not more than ten.

___ Pure proportional representation (PR) will be used.

___ When the name gets self-nominated it's the same as being elected.

___ A name and contact information must be provided in order to qualify as a nominee and the name and contact information must be verifiable in order to qualify as a nominee for the (e)ballot.

___ The number of executives on the International Parliament will be determined by the votes from a majority of members of International Parliament (MIP) from those who vote on the rules; and will be either five, seven or nine seats on the executive.

___ When the members of international parliament vote on a number of executives, then the number five, seven or nine which is closest to the average of all of their votes will be the number of executive seats that will be elected. Each elected executive gets to pick the "seat title" of their own seat and that seat title will communicate their desired role in the International Parliament (IP).

___ Each elected executive gets to pick the

their desired role in the International Parliament (IP).

___ There will be fifty elected members self appointed/self nominated for free and fifty members who are donors.

___ The election of the new rules should be required to be available in all languages.

___ Elections of rules should be perpetual.

___ NOMINATED NAMES: Nominated names for the ballot must
be only names who accept/agree to be nominated. When a person votes for their

will be marked spoiled. Clarification, validation, verification
and transparency will be optimized by the vote counters.

for membership vote by using ranked choice voting (RCV), always
requiring consecutively ranked numbers beginning with the number
1 and that violation of this rule will cause a spoiled (e)ballot.
