Overview

The Consilium de Civitate is a body of 12 Citizens and the Council elected by the Curia to oversee the promotion of new citizens, and to carry out disciplinary procedures against citizens that accrue warnings. A term lasts 3 months, of which a new election is held, with exception to staff veto. The Council seats are reserved and never voted upon, and are automatically given to new Council members.

History

The Consilium de Civitate was to a large extent founded on the proposals of Wild Bill Kelso and Asterix within the Curia. The task of voting on candidate Citizens was originally left to the Senior Staff, but many in early 2006 began to think that a task with such heavy bearing on the Curia should be left to an elected group of Patricians rather than Staff.

Since the first Consilium de Civitate was elected, the body has undergone near constant revision. In particular the number of elected positions, who is eligible to hold a position, and disciplinary proceedings against Citizens acting against forum rules have been amended many times.
