plane_billsCouncilor's Name: Councilor Dedede
Bill to Propose: Require council approval for all major IT and Database changes.
Additional Notes: As we all know, a major disaster just took place. First we had to cope with the instability and uncertainty of a malfunctioning database, and then the mainframe was shut down altogether. This gave our enemies an opportunity to strike while some of us were wasting away to nothing due to a lack of resources.
As we all know, this is entierly the IT department's fault. They had upgraded the operating system without informing or warning anyone. If we had been able to foresee the consequences, we would have been able to prepare for this disaster, or maybe even stop it altogether.
I propose that we require the IT department to propose any major upgrades and changes beyond maintenance and debugging to the council in a public bill. This way, the council will be able to stop any further tragedies, and we will all be warned ahead of time when the downtime for the gates will be, and just what changes will be made.

But I do think Councilor Nerine's suggestion is of merit. An extra week or so of testing should prevent most major problems from occurring without impeding overall progress. Admittedly, the situation was terribly amusing, but I don't think I care to see it again, either way.
