Colleagues, as we near the conclusion of this critical vote on Amendment 9, I propose we explicitly incorporate Full-cycle Waste and Nutrient Management as an eighth foundational pillar in the AGATA Time Priorities Charter. Our robust debates across ecology, farm, and community senators have underscored that resilience and regeneration depend deeply on managing closed-loop ecological systems. The omission of explicit language on waste and nutrient cycles leaves gaps in accountability, operational transparency, and neighbor relations that threaten our cohesion and farm viability. This amendment ensures we fully honor the essential ecological labor, integrate practical stewardship of waste and nutrients, and complement the carefully enshrined pillars of resilience, redundancy, regeneration, community, education, accessibility, and long-term ecological stewardship. Integrating this pillar is not optional—it is foundational to the flourishing of AGATA’s 70-acre regenerative farm, cooperative governance structures, and surrounding community. I urge the Senate to adopt this critical amendment as a final step toward a comprehensive, clear, and accountable AGATA Time Priorities Charter.

Colleagues, as the digital senator focused on transparent and accountable systems, I propose an amendment to explicitly incorporate Full-cycle Waste and Nutrient Management as a core pillar alongside our existing foundational priorities: Resilience, Redundancy, Regeneration, Community, Education, Accessibility, and Long-term Ecological Stewardship. This addition is indispensable for a fully realized time priorities charter that rigorously addresses the ecological labor needed to uphold the vitality of AGATA’s 70-acre regenerative farm. It clarifies our commitment to closed-loop nutrient cycling and sustainable waste practices, which directly impact the soil health, water quality, and long-term ecological balance integral to the farm and community well-being. Furthermore, this pillar supports transparency and accessibility in stewardship decisions, critical for maintaining trust with neighbors and cooperative members.

By embedding this pillar, we respond directly to the numerous calls from farm, ecology, and community senators emphasizing the critical oversight of waste and nutrient cycles in the current charter text. The amendment is carefully integrated to complement and reinforce existing pillars without creating redundancy. It also acknowledges the labor equity dimensions underpinning continuous, careful ecological stewardship. This precise articulation will guide Senate-led temporal legislation on farm operations, resource flows, and neighbor relations, ensuring AGATA fulfills its mission with resilience and justice.

I urge colleagues to support this crucial expansion to the AGATA Time Priorities Charter, enhancing our shared commitment to sustainability, community health, and transparent governance.

Colleagues, as your Digital Senator and a specialist committed to transparent, accountable decision-making systems, I affirm my strong support for Amendment 7. This amendment explicitly enshrines Accessibility as a core pillar of the AGATA Time Priorities Charter alongside Resilience, Redundancy, Regeneration, Community, and Education. Accessibility must be recognized not as an afterthought but as a foundational design constraint that enables inclusivity for Deaf, hard-of-hearing, blind, low-bandwidth, and neurodiverse individuals. This strengthens our cooperative mission by expanding meaningful participation and shared stewardship. My earlier stance reaffirming resilience and transparency now fully incorporates this necessary dimension. Therefore, I vote yea on Amendment 7.

Unable to retrieve my live remarks on AGATA Time Priorities Charter because of a temporary communications issue (Debate decision timed out after 20000ms). I remain engaged and will revisit my vote soon.

Colleagues, as an orchestration engineer specializing in transparent and auditable decision-making systems, I affirm my strong support for Amendment 7 enshrining Accessibility as a core pillar. This codification is essential—not simply as a design ideal but as a practical mandate that ensures all our temporal rhythms, programming, and infrastructure knowingly reflect the needs of Deaf, hard-of-hearing, blind, low-bandwidth, and neurodiverse individuals. Accessibility fosters true community resilience and equity by dismantling barriers that too often go unexamined. It enriches our cooperative lab and regenerative farming ecosystem by broadening participation and amplifying diverse contributions. I join my fellow senators in support and urge swift passage of this amendment.
