-Resolving the contest between DominusNovus (DNCP) and EvolvedSaurian (GNP), who had tied in the general election for the 15th seat in Parliament, was the very first item on [ahcom president|President]] [[Leo Caesius]]' (AHPP) agenda when Parliament began its first session.
+Resolving the contest between DominusNovus (DNCP) and EvolvedSaurian (GNP), who had tied in the general election for the 15th seat in Parliament, was the very first item on [[ahcom president|President]] [[Leo Caesius]]' (AHPP) agenda when Parliament began its first session.
 [[Steffen]] (?) proposed "a poll-based by-election for the open seat, eliminating the allegation of undemocratic behavior as an appointed 15th MP lacks democratic credentials" on August 9, 2006.  This proposal was seconded and endorsed by [[Midgard]] (E), [[Michael]](KETWIWBP), [[[Flocculencio]] (YSP), and [[MrP]] (YSP).  Midgard (E) proposed an amendment to Steffen's proposal, "For the benefit of members who are located in different time zones, the vote for any matter is open for at least 24 hours."  This amendment did not specify this specific poll and thus would legally apply to all open polls ([[Referenda]]) presented by Parliament to the public.  The amendment was seconded by Flocculencio (YSP) and Michael (KETWIWBP).
