Regional Order-in-Council Number Four
Definitions and Purpose of Regional Orders-in-Council,,
An Order of the Founder's Council of the Continental Union [/color][/b][/center] Index: ROIC 04
Proposed by: Imperator, 22 February 2010.
Approved: In Council, 24 February 2010, 3 to 0.
Assent Granted: 24 February 2010.
Revision Status: Entire Order abrogated by ROIC 08.
1) Regional Orders-in-Council (ROICs) are by-laws or directives issued by the Founder in Council. Each order is numbered in the order it is issued and will have the initials "ROIC" preceding the number so as not to confuse them with Regional Legislation approved by the Regional Assembly. This order reflects the format to be used with all published orders. 2) Revision of existing and published ROICs will use the same number as the original, but the number will be followed by the letter indicating the new section of the order in parenthesis. This kind of revision is referred to as an "appended revision", since the order is not completely revised but expanded upon. Appended sections are labeled with the date of approval and posting at the end of the section. Example of an appended revision: Once the constitution is functional, this ROIC will be revised to include any additional information about orders in a new section to this order labeled "(e)." So, the revised order will be listed in the Council polling topic line as "ROIC 004(e) Appended Revision: Definition of Regional Orders-in-Council" and the text of the original order is edited to include the new section. 3) In the event that an order is to be completely revised, then it is assigned a new number (next in the current sequence), and a reference to the old order is made at the end of the newer/revised order. This kind of revision is a "transposed revision," since the meaning or content of the order is dissimilar to the original. Once the transposed revision of the order is approved, it abrogates the original order. Example of a transposed revision: If the Founder's Council decides to completely change the content of this order, then it would be considered a completely new order that requires its own unique number assignment. The new, transposed order's title will appear as "ROIC 150 Definition of Regional Orders-in-Council (Transposed Revision of ROIC 004)." 4) Most Orders-in-Council are administrative directives formalizing policies or procedures for government departments. The Founder on the advice of Council may issue orders a jure officii (by right of office). An example of this would be to call for new elections or settle an issue resulting from a Citizen's Petition. Some Orders-in-Council are temporary measures designed to remedy urgent matters that may be submitted as legislative proposals to the Regional Assembly at a later time. Until the Region expands and a constitution is approved, Orders-in-Council will act as legislation until a Regional Assembly is functional. 5) This Order-in-Council was posted 22 February 2010. 6) This Order-in-Council was abrogated by ROIC 08 on 16 April 2010.
