What is a Parliament:

1. A Parliament is the legislature of a country, state, or protocol responsible for making and passing laws.

2. A Parliament is elected and is responsible for representing their electorate in government.

3. A Parliament usually consists of two chambers. One chamber being an elected lower house, and an upper house which is appointed by the government and/or operator.

4. A Parliament is also responsible for providing oversight of the executive branch of government, and holding the government to account through debate, question time, hearings, and other mechanisms.

5. Parliaments are also responsible for debating and approving budgets & taxation, as well as debating and approving international treaties, referendums, and long term strategies.

6. Rightfully so, a group of very wise owls is also known as a Parliament.

Introduction:

As a result of the growing maturity of The Premia Ecosystem as well as an increasing need for community involvement, the Premia Parliament was founded last year. The Parliament has been working as a joint task force of Premia Core members and Elected Community members to ratify and complete the formal path to a Decentralized Organization. The Parliament oversaw the Meta Economic revamp preceding the launch of Premia Blue (v3) as well as the launch itself and consequent sunsetting of v2.

Debates are encouraged, and formal documentation and voting ratifications will be frequent. 10 members of the community will be elected and ultimately asked to step forward to lead the Premia Ecosystem to the next chapter of our collective journey.

Purpose:

To elevate 10 community members to join the Premia Parliament to formalize the path to a Decentralized Organization. Goals will include, but are not limited to the following:

Discuss and Outline new initiatives that are co-partnerships between developers and participants.

Focus group review of new features and future product lines.

Documentation of the canon or doctrine that future Parliament members must uphold.

To streamline continuous ratifications through weekly Parliament member votes, that will then be wrapped into omnibus bills to be ratified by popular vote on a monthly basis.

To democratize the P3 process and appoint multiple organizational entities that can accelerate the governance process in a responsible yet efficient manner.

To discuss and outline any potential changes to Premia tokenomics, Commission splits, & all things regarding the meta economy aspects of Premia Blue.

Expectations & Requirements:

Please review the below before submitting an application as below are expectations and requirements of Parliament members:

Minimum of 8hrs per month, up to 20hrs per month. Weekly call attendance will be mandatory, and you will be expected to regularly communicate with other Parliament members, Community members, and Core members.

As one of ten elected esteemed community members you will assist and advise relevant core team members based on the role you are assigned.
