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

Ok good. You can post a new topic about it, so that we can all edit it properly.

Also, it seems Marijuanalahara has struck again. I think he is trying harder and harder for someone to take the bait.

I've made an editable Google Docs version of the commendation for Grolsch. You can find it here.

I have tried making accounts from four different internet connection and only one of them worked. Why that one worked is a complete mystery to me since it's pretty much the same as my home connection (same ISP and connected through a wireless router). But there seems to be no limit to how many accounts I can make there. The next time I visit that location I'll make you an account since I'd like that one to be for official DSA business only :) .

I was under the impression this was supposed to be an internal DSA commendation, not a WA commendation.

Thanks, Grobladonia. I have tried creating an account in 3 different locations, and none of them worked. I might try doing it in a four place just to see if it would work.

Regarding the commendation, that was actually what I thought as well, but I guess it is fine this way as well. Also, with a few minor changes, the commendation can still easily be changed into a regular DSA commendation.

You should probably ask Suceavija about the nature of the commendation. Let's not pointlessly involve the SC in this if we don't need to. It might be more of a headache than it's worth. It's possible that St. Vincent didn't even know that we have internal commendations as well. After all, they have made only one post, and that was in the philosophy debate.

I've edited the commendation to make it about the DSA and not the WA. I think bringing in Suceavija to help with this is a great idea, as well.

We'll miss you to, Gorbladonia. Maybe will be able to return to the comfy chairs someday on the future.
