Greetings Members of the 5th Cabinet,

The cabinet discussion has fallen silent recently, and I hope that this slightly delayed 3rd cabinet meeting will open up some more cabinet discussion. The last cabinet meeting has been largely concerned with referendums and votes, so I would like to move on from that for now to focus on other issues. However, everyone should continue to come up with ideas for Amendment #39, and if you have any votes and amendments to propose, feel free to do so.

Items for the entire Cabinet to address:

1. Peace Treaty with The Internationale
The possibility of restarting these talks is returning, and I would like there to be significant discussion over the future of these talks. I have been communicating with some of you about the treaty via telegram, so feel free to share those ideas in the Internationale forum discussion.

2. Complete commendation for Grolsch
I would like this taken care of soon because nothing has been done with this for 3 months. We need to decide who will be writing this commendation.

3. Prepared ministerial statements workshop (ongoing project)
Now that the auto-telegram system is being implemented, it would be good to look at creating a more standard set of telegrams and statements to be sent out automatically.

4. Proposed back up Secretary-General and President in the case of inactivity (Grobladonia)

5. PF and CR requirements amendment (Currently Being written by Suceavija)
There definitely needs to be more discussion over this.

6. Review jobs offered in the 'Help Wanted' subforum (if you want an assistant for your ministry, post the job in the subforum)

7. Discuss the performances of the other cabinet members in Terlibe's cabinet member evaluation.
Try to apply this constructive criticism to your cabinet position.


8. Discuss the possible implementation of the API telegram system
This could actually be a good recruitment technique if we could somehow create a CR and PF filter.

8. Revitalization of the Newspaper
The newspaper has been very silent for a long time except for Terlibe's article a few days ago. I would like more articles to be written for newspaper just to use it more often. This is not really a priority at the moment, but I just want Solidarity to be used more often.

----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Items for individual ministries to address:

Secretary General (SG):
1. Determine if appropriate to declassify previous closed-door Cabinet meeting notes
--It would be better to hold off on releasing these until TI treaty is either abandoned or completed.
2. Create Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ) section in 'Introduction' forum, edit 'About the Democratic Socialist Assembly' to include link to FAQ's.
--I am currently working on a few of these, and you can come up with your own ideas to add. This can be discussed through telegram.
3. Make sure everything is updated (Amendments, Charter nations, etc.)
4. Actively participate in the discussion over the future of the Internationale treaty.

Minister of Foreign Affairs (MFA):
1. Make embassy recommendations to P/WAD
--Secular Alliance
2. Prepare interregional intelligence report for CAB
--Interregional partners/allies
--Interregional adversaries
--Other regions of interest, if any
3. Actively participate in the discussion over the future of the Internationale treaty.

Minister of Justice/Head of Supreme Court (MoJ):
1. Audit region for Civil Rights (CR), Political Freedoms (PF), and National Categories (NC) compliance
2. Make recommendations to P/WAD for nations to eject, if any
--Like I stated before, I would like to eject as few nations as possible until Charter Amendment #39 is completed, but report all of the violators anyway.

Minister of Immigration/Regional Promotion (MIRP):
1. Try to add filters/improve the API as much as you can
2. Verify if/when interregional leftist fair is being held
3. Look into the possibility of creating an auto-message for welcoming telegrams-->discuss with Grobladonia
--The only problem I can think of with this is that nations that just briefly left will be welcomed all over again, which may seem strange.

Minister of Domestic Affairs (MDA):
1. Continue coming up with new debate ideas.
2. Look into the possibility of creating an auto-message for welcoming telegrams-->discuss with Gervase
--The only problem I can think of with this is that nations that just briefly left will be welcomed all over again, which may seem strange.
3. Possibly start nominations for a new contest.
4. Update all of the information in the NS Wiki.
--There should not be too much to change. Mainly population and a few other minor details.

Minister of Cartography (MoC):
1. Verify all nations on map are:
--Existing
--Reside in the region (domestic puppets okay, too)
2. Add nations from map opt-in subforum who request placement on map
3. Essentially just keep the map current and updated

I recommend putting up The Scientific States' discussion and poll about energy sources in the CONTESTS & DEBATES section. While it is my job to make debates and keep activity up, it's even better if that process is self-sustaining. Putting that debate up where everyone can see it would encourage others to start their own. I'll work on the Second Exodus discussion and probably start it sometime later in the week.

Also, should I go then with a thread for new contest ideas?

The discussion is already in the "The Great Debate Hall" and I think that it should be there. The contests section and debate are seperate, and this discussion is already in the right place. It was previously in "Fun and Others," but I moved it yesterday.

Yes. I would add a discussion about new contest ideas.

I meant the CONTESTS & DEBATES section of the CURRENT MAJOR BUSINESS so it has a bit more visibility :P

Oh ok. I misunderstood what you were saying. :)
I can't add it right now because I am on my phone, but I'll put it in when I get home.

Wow that is lot. I think you might have to get used to that many violators unless some filter is discovered for the auto-telegram system.

I would also like to announce that The Scientific States will most likely be writing the commendation for Grolsch. I don't know for certain yet because he offered to do it, but he did not specifically agree to do it. I sent him about a telegram about, so I should know the answer today.

I think I'm going to create a special telegram for nations that fall into prohibited categories or that have below average or worse PF/CR. So far I've been using the same template for all, but after all the dictatorships that joined I think it's important to stress our standards to some of the newcomers. What do you think?

If you are referring to welcoming telegrams, then yes, I would create different ones for different violators of the charter. I have a few variations for my ejection telegrams because not all violator nations break the charter requirements in the same way.
