Timely CMD GMs and Ratification for "Official Proposals"

Avatar: Vaalea Darkke Vaalea Darkke Rejected
Introductory Statement
Clear expectations for timely ratification of CMD official proposals.
Emergency Motion Statement
That Continuous Motion Development General Meetings are scheduled at least 3 times a year, or within 2 months of a threshold of 10 official proposals, workshopped on WeDecide and through informal policy discussion meetings. If the General Meeting runs out of time to address all in queue, the remaining will be prioritized in the following Continuous Motion Development General Meeting.
Type of Emergency Motion
A directive to ask the party’s Federal Council to consider an action
Benefit
We have ran out of time during AGMs to pass workshopped policy and without some defining criteria the CMD proposals may not be ratified in a timely/dependable manner. I've put in a threshold of 10, I think we said 20 minutes max per proposal discussion in the meeting, so that 3 discussed per hour max. Between reaching threshold of 10 and formalizing the meeting, more policies may be finalized as "Official Proposals" so there may be more than 10 in the meeting. This is also to ensure we have regularly scheduled meeting even without a threshold met, and also that the meetings aren't too long; if we have many in queue that we process them sooner. I don't see expected timelines currently addressed: G23-C006 Continuous motion development process for constitution and bylaws
