**Proposal / Request Title:**Entry of Puppets
**Proposal / Request Description:**Allowing puppets to enter under a system where there votes are randomly generated by mods in order to keep results fair and ensure one person cannot have two votes. This would allow more entries and would also make results slightly more random providing an interesting conclusion.Owners of puppets would be told what place their puppet nation came in order of points in their main nation and build their points around that to keep the system fair. -

OCC Reasons: We believe EuroVoice Song Contest results shall reflect the people's thoughts and opinions on songs and shouldn't be a mix of their opinions and a random machine deciding for us who wins the contest. It would be unfair as well as it would lead to the contest's essence destruction.

Proposal / Request Title: European Public Owned Broadcaster Content Library
Proposal / Request Description: To save duplication of productions on same topics and enable more focused funding on documentaries and cultural content we propose the creation of a content library of both full programmes with dubbing and subtitles in other languages as required and footage including raw footage called the European Public Owned Broadcaster Content Library. Broadcasters will put documentaries and cultural programmes among other programmes in a content library and must share at least 50% of their productions in the libraries . If submitting series they must submit all series. Any public broadcaster must pay towards the running costs of the programme with 0.5-1% of revenue being given to the programme with any income of the programme after storage and adminstration costs being given to a fund to help broadcasters make programmes or co-production programmes for the library. The programme should help utilise public funds more effectively . The programme should be opt in with only members paying in to access the library.A potential source of income could be streaming service called Euroflix that is paid for with all the programmes in the library on it that pays the profits 50% to the content creation fund and 50% back to the broadcasters after marketing and hosting servers and maintenance of the site paid in proportion to the % of funds contributed by the broadcasters.This streaming servi ce should be available throughout Europe and Europolis. Any programmes created with content from the library should be required to be put back into the library and on the streaming platform.

The EUBC finds illogical that content made by public broadcasters around the European Union has to be paid in order to enjoy it. Some broadcasters offer their content for free, with no country restriction, and them joining this system would create a severe harm to TV audience all around the region, that would find itself on the need to pay for content they could enjoy for free before.

In response to concerns about the paying a fee for content on the streaming service if that is the only concern we propose the streaming service be free although this would reduce the potential for content production reducing revenue. We believe the saving by sharing on creation would still benefit broadcasters so we propose the following change.

The programme should help utilise public funds more effectively . The programme should be opt in with only members paying in to access the library. Programmes possibly could be made available through out Europe on a free streaming media platform available to all EUBC nations citizens. All programmes made using content from the library would be made available on the free streaming platform if this was to go ahead.The platform could be funded by a percent of the national broadcasters budget going to the platform to support the hosting and moderating costs perhaps 0.5% to 1% (or whatever is judged necessary) cost to the platform with 50% going into a european wide and EUBC run programme production fund with anything left after that or running costs being sent back to broadcasters in proportion to their contributions.Any programmes created with content from the library should be required to be put back into the library and on the streaming platform if that was to be implemented.There could alternatively just be a content and programme library only with no european wide streaming service to be funded depending only on national or public broadcasters streaming services to distribute the content.

The RTD would like to ask for consideration of the revised proposals as it has already been 3 months since proposing the revised proposal and we th stated reason it was rejected on grounds of the optional streaming service that was not core to the proposal. We wish to be involved in a public broadcaster and content library but would prefer to do this through existing structures like the EUBC who we believe is in a good position to manage such a system. However if the answer is no we also need to know so we can go ahead with creating a system independent of the EUBC for content sharing among public broadcasters.

Proposal / Request Title: Proposal on two date ranges for Eurovoice
Proposal / Request Description: Proposal for a fixed date range standard Eurovoice with no theme and a themed Eurovoice that can be held at any time of year the winner of each would get to host the next Eurovoice of its type. I.e the standard Eurovoice winner would get to host next standard Eurovoice while the themed Eurovoice winner would get to set the theme and host the next themed Eurovoice within parameters agreed by the EUBC for the next themed Eurovoice. This proposal would ensure two Eurovoices per year with mutliple ways of participation.We propose that the themed Eurovoice should stick to the parameters of a secular theme for any Eurovoice so as to avoid divisive themes. Though this should be up to the EUBC.
