Review & Deliberation

What remains open

The draft contains current proposals, genuine constitutional reservations, and details deliberately left to implementation. These have different kinds of unfinished work. Criticism of a current drafting choice does not by itself make it a reserved constitutional question.

Focused Requests for Comment

Sixteen focused Requests for Comment identify constitutional mechanisms that are genuinely unresolved or need specialist and public review. An RFC does not adopt its own proposed approaches and does not make the surrounding constitutional text final. Reviewers may answer the listed questions, propose a different mechanism, challenge the RFC's assumptions, or identify conflicts elsewhere in the draft.

Each RFC page has a targeted response link. RFC responses use the same privacy, publication-permission, attribution, anonymous-receipt, withdrawal, and review system as ordinary section feedback.

Formal Reserved Questions

These three matters are explicitly reserved in the constitutional drafting register and have no final project answer. The reserved-question register is the public rendering of the canonical Markdown drafting register. It also records earlier decisions and delegated details; only its “Genuine constitutional reservations” section identifies the reservations below.

Unresolved constitutional question

Inherited Property Claims

Inheritance, succession, competing historical legal systems, and the meaning of “lawful heir” remain unresolved. Return eligibility and property title are separate questions.

Read Article 3 · Read the reservation

Unresolved constitutional question

Convention elections and replacement ratification

Convention electoral rules and popular-ratification mechanics require express settlement within the draft’s universal-suffrage and non-domination safeguards.

Read Article 12, Section 5 · Read the reservation

Unresolved constitutional question

Preconstitutional Ratification Protocol

Founding authority, delegate selection and verification, decision procedures, the ratification electorate, thresholds and timetables, first appointments, and enforceable interim justice arrangements require express agreement.

Read Transition Provisions, Section 1 · Read the reservation

Public Deliberation

The existing deliberation system publishes curated questions under consideration, arguments or concerns, alternative proposals, and project responses. It can address both current drafting choices and genuine reservations. The drafting register remains the source of truth for which constitutional questions are reserved; this hub does not imply that every reservation already has a published deliberation entry.

Deferred / Delegated Matters

The Constitution proposes authority, constraints, and safeguards while intentionally leaving implementation to protected organic law, ordinary law, regulation, administrative or professional standards, technical work, and the founding or transition process. These topics have been considered. Their remaining implementation choices are distinct from a missing constitutional answer.

The Supporting Framework collects proposals for that work. Delegation does not mean every implementing choice is settled. Founding authority remains constitutionally reserved. The fallback-Speaker succession contingency is resolved by Article 5, Section 4 and is not an open question.

Revision history and records

Revision History shows the public changelog. Records & Transparency provides disposition, verification, and historical material, separately from the current proposal.
