Instigating Character/Incident: Following on the announcement of the Foreigner-run police force, and the events laid out in the June Itinerary. Includes Pepper Potts, Valdis, and Gene Khan; tangentially the other Foreigners involved in the police force.
Event Outline: There’s a need for cooperation and coordination with Keeliai as a whole, particularly those groups that have a lot of existing influence and existing investigative resources. Making an open invitation to Keeliai to meet at the Courtyard of Public Opinion, Pepper would like to propose a potential system to provide structure and oversight to the police force(s) and begin to lay the groundwork for a government truly defined by citizenship. Obviously, input from others is welcome. The idea she plans to propose are two different council or committee groups:
The first group would be tasked with developing the outline of a new government - drafting something like a charter or constitution to define how the government itself ought to operate in broad strokes based on input from historical laws and from the general public. The second group would be something like a judicial branch, enforcing what existing laws they have on record (equal trials); and giving oversight to the police force while opening the floor to coordinating with other investigative groups.
Each group would have 2 representatives from each sector of the city, ideally who do not have significant ties or influence within any one Family or gang; and 1 Foreigner representative. Thus each council would have 15 people. The council positions would be filled by volunteers, or if there are too many people interested, by a short election process within each sector.
Areas Affected: All of Keeliai Long-Term Impact: Oversight provided for the Foreigner-run police force Coordination with other investigative groups Lays the groundwork for actual governmental structure with equal representation, defined largely by the kedan rather than the Foreigners Taxes (oh dear) Laws enforced more equally with less bias due to family and gang ties
Suggested Duration & Dates: Start circa July 1st (or first week of July, post July 4th maybe?) for the Courtyard event, then ongoing
