Understanding By-Laws

Whenever a new agency is brought on, either a new district from a federal agency, or an agency that is cross-functional, by-laws must be created where the rules of the agencies are defined.

All by-laws are created by the agency creating the new agency along with Civil Agency Over Site, to ensure the agencies are in-order. For example, an EPA district couldn't exist managing public restrooms if there was not a Water and Sewer agency also available for the district.

By-Law Rules

The following are some of the by-laws that are defined for a new agency. The rules will drive the Civil Agency System's functionality.

Board Voting

• How many board members are the board (3,5)?
• Are board approval's unanimous or a quorum based?
• Board requirements skills and background(s)

Civil Agency Associations

Civil Agencies associates are defined to new agencies, where the relationship can allow the agency creating the new agency the ability to participate in various functions including co-board voting.

For example

A District General Administration could block a district park board vote that they do not agree with, or let them have complete autonomy.

WARNING

Agencies will have to decide how much power they want their agency to have over another.

I am of the opinion if you create an agency, you either let it run, or dissolve it.

The cross voting of governments between agencies has caused a lot of conflicts that has stagnated government in court, and in the public eye.

If an agency has an environmental impact issues, instead of giving the EPA overriding power I suggest placing a board member that is environmentally focused in the agency.

With that being said, there could be situations where Federal General Agency might want to look over the NITS - Artificial Intelligence, or a Genetics Agency as the market is being developed.

Legislative Associations

The by-laws will manage the associations around various legislative elements.

If a law is enacted at the FTC based on a board vote the by-laws would allow software requirements associated to the board vote and assign it to the FCC's Container/SDK media player to prevent children from listening to illicit music.

Legislation can drive regulations, licensing requirements, security requirements, software requirements and much more.

This is one of the powers of using technology to enforce legislation instead of slap on the wrist fines, and a letter, and manual review of systems.

Jurisdictional Sphere of Influence

An agency can operate locked in with a district, or operate many districts within the owning district.

For Example

There would be many park districts in General Administration District, yet there would be a single Securities/Exchange & Treasury district locked in with a a General Administration district.

Civil Agency Industry Approval Services Rules

Associations are defined for agencies in which circumstances they are required to approve industry products, and services.

Engagement & Registration

Citizens, businesses and other government agencies register with agencies to participate in their mission, the by-laws define those registration requirements.

The requirements include how much they need to participate, notification rules, and more.

Operations

There are many operational rules that are setup in by-laws, including:

• What agencies cross-functional agencies are assigned.
• Can the agency own software related services.
• Can the agency manage Website Types with the NITS and Commerce Department?
• Can the agency provide pardons at the federal or district level, do these pardons need board vote, or court submission?
• How many registered citizen votes does it take to move an impeachment case to court?
• Can the agency issues licenses, certificates, and permits, and what type?
• Can the agency manage infractions for things like parking tickets, or licensing violations?
• Can the agency apply an access security policy agency wide based on their jurisdiction?

Agency Dissolution

Requirements are defined on what it takes to dissolve an agency. For example, a unanimous board vote, a federal vote, etc.

FSM Security Policy Permissions

Permissions can be set if the agency can manage Food, Service and Media Security polices by board vote where they are submitted to Homeland Security for enforcement.

FSM Security Profile Overrides

Security & Protection Overrides can be put in place with the by-laws, in which certain settings would allow a parent to override a district decision on security policies.

For example, if the district voted that graphic movies were illegal in the district for children under 18, the by-laws could allow an override of the content categories by the parent.

It really depends on how strict the district wants to get.
