We present the Electronic Sports Republic, or ESR [e-sir] for short.

STRUCTUREThis proposal presents an organization made of voting blocs that cooperate on an industry-wide level. A Republic is one of the more

credible means of finding a suitable compromise among the diverse interests of the body it represents, and then implementing that

compromise to the benefit of the whole. A Republic is defined as “a state in which the supreme power rests in the body of citizens

entitled to vote and is exercised by representatives chosen directly or indirectly by them” [a].

The Republic is made up of “Branches.” These Branches are the reason the organization exists. Each Branch has an objective that i

must meet. Without an objective, a Branch cannot exist. The methodology prescribes the technique through which a Branch

achieves its objective.

1. VOTING BRANCHES

The Voting Branch is the heart of the organization; it develops the overall direction.

Player Union

o Objective: Represent the interest of member players.

o Methodology: Through player assemblies.

League Association

2. NON-VOTING BRANCHES

organization; it executes the Bylaws & sustains the organization.

grow the organization, accommodate the interests of

the members, be a force for good in the industry.

Resolutions Team

o Objective: In accordance with prescribed Bylaws, rapidly process disputes and resolve them.

o Methodology: Use alternate disputes resolution processes, involve third parties to remain fair and impartial.

3. THE ASSEMBLY

The Assembly is the lungs of the organization. The objective of the Assembly is to offer discourse, generate Bills, and ratify Bills into

Regulation. The Assembly occurs at two tiers: The Branch

level and the organizational level. Each level has a specificrole and acts as a “check ‘n’ balance” for the other.

Branch Assemblies: Official gathering of the

individual Branches in accordance with prescribed

Bylaws; occurs with coordination of the Assembly

Team. Responsible for discussing and formulating

Bills to be ratified at the organizational level.

The Cyber Assembly: Official gathering of voting

Branches in accordance with prescribed Bylaws;

occurs with coordination of the Assembly Team.

Responsible for receiving and ratifying Bills

proposed by Branch assemblies.

BYLAWSBylaws are specific and codified. The entirety of the organization, to include the Branches, act in accordance with and are

accountable to the Bylaws.

1.1. All policies entered into Section D shall contain the Bill number, Ratification number, ratification date, and details of the

ACKNOWLEDGEMENTCredit of this idea goes to a group of individuals from the Esports Professional Network (EPN), a discussion that began on that fatefu

day, May 20, 2016, in their Slack discussion channel (and is still on-going). We discussed the various details of what the organization

would look like, which provided the foundation to this proposal. They are, in no particular order:

Shane A. Boulware

CONCLUSIONTo conclude this proposal, we want to reiterate what we said in the Executive Summary and the Charter. We are here to grow

esports. We are heavily passionate about esports. Whether this organization exists or not, we will somehow be involved in esports

This has been a collaborative effort to help formulate an entity that naturally exists within esports, that is fair and reasonably put

together.

Please, if you believe in the vision that we do, join us. Apply for membership. Give voice to your thoughts.

For your consideration.

Thank you.
