Legislation:SBR/C001-005/Original text

Proclamation clause, title and preamble

As proclaimed by the Grand Forum of All Citizens,

Charter 001-005, Charter of Incorporation for the Gazette Corporation

Whereas in view of the Beaconite people having the right and desire to know the actions of their government, we deem it desirable that such a service is developed to the best advantage and in the interest of Our Serene Republic,
And whereas we believe that it would greatly promote these Objectives and be for the public benefit if a Corporation charged with these duties were created by exercise of a Charter of Incorporation,
It is so that we do by exercise of a Charter of Incorporation give and grant as follows:

Incorporation

1. There is to be a Body Corporate, known as the Gazette Corporation (‘the Corporation’). As such, it is to be capable in law of holding property, filing and facing suit in a Justicial Council, and taking all actions necessary or incidental to a Body Corporate, with exception that any surplus revenue must be applied solely to other projects of the Corporation.
2. The Corporation is to be wholly owned by Our Serene Republic.
3. The Rector, the Chief Magistrate, and the Chief Justice of the Senior Justicial Council, or representative appointees thereof, are to serve as members of the Executive Board of the Corporation.
4. The Executive Board is to make any decisions by a majority vote of its members.

Corporate objectives

The objectives for which the Corporation is established and incorporated are—

1. To publish any and all actions of Our Serene Republic, including but not limited to:
   1. The Business of the Grand Forum, both the texts of the items of Business and the voting results of the Ballot;
   2. The executive orders and decisions of the Magistracies, the Council of Magistrates, and the Rector;
   3. The opinions of the Justicial Councils.
   The information published is to be purely a record of those actions, with no opinions or editorial comments.
2. To print, compile, or otherwise distribute its publications.
3. To do other such things that may seem necessary or incidental to these Corporate Objectives.

Authorisations and Restrictions

1. The Corporation’s publications are to be the official Journal of Record of Our Serene Republic; that is, the Corporation is officially granted the right to publish the actions of Our Serene Republic, and indeed the Corporation’s publications are to be an official record of those actions.
