My most general idea would be to have delegates selected from all the means possible (by party, by region, by vote, etc.).

this senate should not be picking nearly half the delegates. terrible amendment.

There are strong regulations on who can the Senate pick; that should be mentioned.

I agree with Simfan. Elections would take a long time, and would somewhat of a mess. I do think that it's best to delegate the choosing of regional delegates to their respective governments, which have the benefits of being filled with newer players, and are less skewed from a partisan perspective than the Senate.

     On the timescale of a convention, I doubt that the time needed to hold an election will be that big of a deal. At the same time, I do like the idea of giving the regional governments power in selecting delegates. Decisions, decisions. Wink

Yeah, I don't think we should hurry when we're still getting it done.

I understand Evergreen's position, but we're including the Senate in the selection of delegates in order to ensure representation to sectors that may not be elected, but whose input will be very important.

People from the left wing will get a better chance of participating of the ConCon with this system, if we compare with full popular vote.
