Greetings, comrades of the Sixth Cabinet of the DSA!

Congratulations on being elected or reelected to your respective Cabinet positions and I look forward to working with all of you in this new cabinet. Just like with the 5th Cabinet, there will be new meeting every 2 weeks or so from this point forward. The issues below are what the cabinet will be deliberating on, and like in previous cabinets, these recommendations are simply what I would like the 6th Cabinet to discuss as its shared agenda. All of you are free to provide any feedback, ideas, or additional issues that you believe should be discussed by our cabinet.

For all new cabinet members, this meeting is designed to be a discussion of our region's issues as a whole and the various initiatives concerning each individual Cabinet member. Therefore, I recommend that all of you participate in this meeting at least once per meeting in order to keep the entire Cabinet informed of your various tasks, duties, and concerns. Each meeting, you will receive a small list of recommendations for your ministry to address, but you do not need to discuss all of your recommendations at once, as long as you get to each of them eventually. And with this statement, I officially open the 1st Cabinet Meeting of the 6th Cabinet.

1. Complete commendation for Grolsch
This has already been written and submitted, and I am hoping we will be able to get this finished and voted on in the next congressional vote.

2. 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.

3. Proposed back up Secretary-General and President in the case of inactivity
This was proposed by Grobladonia in the last cabinet, and since both Terlibe and I have been very active, this has not been necessary. However, I think that we could still discuss this further. If you would like to look at what we already discussed about this, look at the 3 meetings for the 5th Cabinet.

Currently being discussed on the charter revision.

4. Amendment #39: Total Revision of the Charter
This is currently in progress, so I encourage everyone to take part.

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

6. Revitalization of the Newspaper
Windport posted one article in the newspaper during the elections, but I would like if articles were still much more frequent. We could also potentially create some kind of chief editor position to manage and encourage greater involvement in the newspaper.

This can be solved in the charter revision if necessary

7. Implementation of an Anonymous Polling System
This was an issue that appeared during the election, and I created the "Congressional Elections and Votes" section in the Election and Votes sub forum in order to test out the possibility of doing a anonymous poll. The only problem is that this kind of anonymous system would make preferential voting very difficult, but there are ways around that.

I have begun talking about this in the charter revision, so this issue will soon be solved.

8. Proposed embassy (and colonization) by Stonehaven

9. Inactivity on the forums, and a relative lack of new, lasting members.

10. NS Cultural Expo

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

Secretary General (SG):
1. Try contacting Suceavija about the Charter Revision, and if possible, establish a date to begin its scrutiny.
2. Finish creating the Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ) section in 'Introduction' forum, edit 'About the Democratic Socialist Assembly' to include link to FAQ's.
--Contact Terlibe and United Republic of People for more information on these
3. Make sure everything is updated (Amendments, Charter nations, etc.)
4. Appoint an advisor, if desired
--United Republic People was Terlibe's advisor so I suggest contacting him.

Minister of Foreign Affairs (MFA):
1. Make embassy recommendations to P/WAD
2. Prepare interregional intelligence report for CAB
--Interregional partners/allies
--Interregional adversaries
--Other regions of interest, if any
3. Keep track of the progress that UDLS is making towards 20 members so that we can establish an embassy
4. Find out the situation with all of our ambassadors and embassies, and contact Herrebrugh to familiarize yourself with the positions
5. Appoint an advisor, if desired

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
--I am just going to keep this in here for you to remember to notify the cabinet about any of these kinds of events if they show up

Minister of Domestic Affairs (MDA):
1. Continue coming up with new debate ideas.
2. Try to come up with a new contest or game
3. 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.
--Also elaborate on the timeline that Grobladonia started
4. Read over Grobladonia's suggestions and contact him to familiarize yourself with the position.
5. Appoint an advisor, if desired

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
4. Contact New Andureo to familiarize yourself with the position.

I think he only sent it to me, and maybe someone from TI. I'll send the article to you. One thing I'm still curious about is who this nation is, and why they are so interested in our disputes with TI.

I've made some changes to my proposal for an inter-regional organization if anyone wants to take a look. The link is in the IRALL discussion thread.

I'll take a look at it later today, and I'll leave some feedback.

These meetings actually aren't really adjourned, and are open for whenever a cabinet member would like to bring something up or discuss something. Many things on the agenda still need to be addressed, and I would like to discuss some major ones now.

Regarding Suceavija's revision, I am starting to really get concerned because it has been 2 weeks since he said that he would post the revision. I have sent a few tgs to him since then, but I have not yet received a response. Several important issues and votes rely on this revision, like the charter violation rules and the vote for the commendation of Grolsch, so it really needs to be posted soon.

Lastly, I would like to remind all of you to go through with the entirety of your duties because there have been several cases recently were some cabinet duties were neglected.

Suceavija just posted the revision, so I think the scrutiny should be started for that soon. I will send a tg to Gullud, but if they dont respond by tomorrow, I'll start the scrutiny. Also, for the commendation of Grolsch, we can start a review of that later this week as well.

@Terlibe That isn't necessarily required, but it just is supposed to be a report on the events and activities in our embassy regions and NS in general.

Just to keep everyone abreast of things, there has been more discussion in the IRALL thread about interregional cooperation.

On the recruiting front, it's been a relatively slow week. NS population is down sharply over the past few weeks and there just aren't as many nations coming down the pipe, so I'm thinking of additional ways to promote the region. I'm considering starting a recruitment thread in the forum and starting a conversation with embassy regions about having another Left Expo-style event.

Over and out,

Regarding the IRALL thread, I'll try getting to that tomorrow because I have been traveling since Friday, and I finally get to my grandparents' in Poland then.

With recruiting, I think that some more promotion would be a good idea, although it may seem a bit intrusive to other regions. Lastly, I feel like another Leftist Expo event would be more fitting after the inter regional alliance is established.

I would like to bring up some new and old issues right now.

1. I know that I have not commented on the IRALL discussion yet and that I have been delaying my comments for quite some time, but I really have been quite too busy to get to it. Also, I think that we have some more important issues at hand at the moment.

2. I also wanted to talk about the proposed embassy by Stonehaven. Here is the telegram that WAD sent me:

Quote:
 
Greetings,

I am the current delegate of Stonehaven (a.k.a. United Federation of Canada). We are a small, but prosperous region, that grew out of a revolution against corruption. Our current delegate has CTE'ed, and as such we are a particularly defenceless region.
We are looking at formalizing diplomatic relations, and are interested in becoming a colony.
We would be grateful for and possible assistance you could provide.
Please do not hesitate to contact me, if you have any questions.

The Liberation Nation of Alberrta (Territorial holding of The Sovereign Social Provinces of United Federation of Canada)

WA Delegate Stonehaven


I am not really sure what to make of this. At the moment, the region does not pass our requirements because it has too few nations, but it is good that they are interested in diplomatic relations. However, I don't exactly think it wold be in the best interest of the DSA to "colonize" another region. I am perfectly fine with adding them as an embassy, but in my opinion, the DSA is not a region that really "colonizes" or controls other region like defender and raider regions do.

3. Also, I would like to talk about activity in the region. On the RMB, activity is completely normal, but my concern is the activity on the forums. The Many of the new nations merely comment on the RMB, leaving the forums largely idle. There are some occasional comments on the forum, but they are largely made by the same nations that are usually past or current cabinet members. I think that we need to find some solution to this issue.
