Proceedings of the Second Plenary Session: HMTL Tirtamarta

This summary outlines the formal proceedings of the second plenary session of the Environmental Engineering Student Association (HMTL) Tirtamarta, focused on establishing the rules of procedure for the election of the permanent presidium.

1. Session Opening and Quorum Verification

• Presidium Members: Sony Fajri Rambang (Presidium 1), Dia Wicaksono (Presidium 2), and Niken Sekar Arum (Presidium 3).
• Quorum: The session required a minimum of 10 participants to proceed. A physical count confirmed 10 participants were present, satisfying the quorum requirement.
• Methodology: The assembly agreed to read the draft rules of procedure chapter-by-chapter.

2. Chapter I: General Provisions (Article 1)

The assembly ratified the following definitions and principles:

• Article 1, Paragraph 1: The "Presidium of the Trial" is defined as the body responsible for leading, organizing, and ratifying the decisions of the session.
• Article 1, Paragraph 2: The presidium is determined by and from the participants of the trial.
• Article 1, Paragraph 3: The election process must be direct, free, secret, honest, and fair (LUBER-JURDIL).

3. Chapter II: Requirements for the Presidium (Article 3)

A significant debate occurred regarding the eligibility criteria for the permanent presidium, specifically the requirement of a minimum GPA of 3.0.

• Arguments Against GPA Requirement: Opponents argued that a high GPA does not equate to leadership ability, public speaking skills, or the capacity to manage a trial. They emphasized that every student has the right to be chosen regardless of academic ranking.
• Arguments For GPA Requirement: Proponents argued that a permanent presidium requires broad knowledge and insight, which they claimed is reflected by a high GPA.
• Resolution: The session conducted a formal vote. Seven participants voted to remove the GPA requirement, while three voted to keep it. Consequently, the assembly decided to delete the article requiring a minimum GPA of 3.0.

4. Procedural Intermissions and Review

• Pending Session: Due to the timing of the Dzuhur prayer, the session was suspended for two 15-minute intervals (a "pending session").
• PK (Peninjauan Kembali/Review): The assembly conducted a review of the draft rules to ensure consensus before final ratification.

5. Ratification and Formal Decree

The session concluded with the formalization of the rules of procedure under Decree Number: 3/0/SWA/19/8/EUROPOL.

• Stipulation: The rules were officially ratified to ensure the smooth and orderly conduct of the Grand Meeting of Environmental Engineering Students.
• Date and Location: October 19, 2020, in South Lampung.
