Diet Speaker: My Lords! We thank Duke Arnold for his great efforts as our Chancellor. Now that he has posted the last of his most informative reports, we must formally open a full session of the Diet.

There will be a three day period for debate. During that time, all candidates for the post of Chancellor must declare themselves, presenting their manifestoes for scrutiny and questionning.

Edicts and Charter Amendments may be proposed. They will require two seconders to be put to the vote.

The deadline for candidates to declare and proposed legilsation to be seconded is 10pm UK time Thursday. There will then be a 24 hour period of voting.

I now yield the floor.
