Greetings, comrades of the Seventh 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. 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 7th 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 7th Cabinet.

1. Amendment #39: Total Revision of the Charter

2. Complete commendation for Grolsch

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

4. NS Cultural Expo
I have not heard from the main nation about this in quite some time, but this is still a possibility.

5. Leftist Alliance (Continuation of IRALL)
I think this discussion should start all over again, possibly on the NS forum, to try to create a large leftist alliance, like what was proposed with the IRALL treaty.

6. International and Embassy Expansion
After some recent incidents, I think it is important to look for some new regions and approaching them about diplomatic relations. We already have one embassy (UDLS) on the way, but I would like to find some other new embassies.

7. Automated Welcoming Telegrams

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

Secretary General (SG):
1. Along with me, encourage maximum participation for the Charter Revision so that it gets done.
2. Make sure everything is updated (Amendments, Charter nations, etc.)
3. Once the Charter Revision is finished, start a voting process for both the revision and the commendation for Grolsch.
4. Appoint an advisor, if desired

Minister of Foreign Affairs (MFA):
1. Make embassy recommendations to P/WAD
2. Keep an eye on the UDLS. The embassy should be established soon.
3. Try to find new regions to potentially establish embassies with. Also, try to create some closer friendships and alliances with some of our existing embassies.
4. 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
--I would like to eject as few nations as possible until Charter Amendment #39 is completed, but report all of the violators anyway.
--Last term, Ratateague and I would give extensions to improving nations in order to prevent ejections of nations that are trying to improve.
3. Contact Ratateague to familiarize yourself with the position

Minister of Immigration/Regional Promotion (MIRP):
1. Make sure the auto-telegram system is transferred and working properly.
2. Try to find more info about the NS Cultural Expo


Minister of Domestic Affairs (MDA):
1. Come up with new debate ideas.
2. Try to come up with a new contest or game, although we already have a lot at the moment.
3. Update all the information in the NS Wiki.
--There should not be too much to change. Mainly population and a few other minor details.
4. Update all the information in the DSA Capitol
5. Appoint an advisor, if desired

Minister of Cartography (MoC): (or interim 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 The Saint James Islands to familiarize yourself with the position.

I'm starting to think that Smartopia is a troll as well. Their comments don't seem to be getting any better.

Well, Smartopia is impersonating New Andureo. Methinks we may not see him around in time for the next Cabinet election... (assuming he keeps it up)

On the NS World Fair, I've put together a bid for our region. I'd just like to see what your opinions on it are before I submit it. Proofreading and event ideas are much appreciated. Without further ado, here is the telegram-in-waiting:
DSA World Fair Bid Draft
 
On behalf of the entire Democratic Socialist Assembly, I would like to submit this bid to host the 2013 NS World Fair and I thank you for your time in considering our region in what is sure to be a competetive process. I wish much luck to the organisers, bidders and participants in the World Fair and hope for the success of this event.

[nation]The Saint James Islands[/nation]
Minister of Immigration and Regional Promotion
[region]Democratic Socialist Assembly[/region]


1) What specific events/activities/stuff would your region/organisation like to see included to improve this World Fair?
Contests, such as for Best Flag, Funniest National Name, Best Motto, Biggest Commie, etc.
Forum games like Guess who will Post Next, Corrupt a Wish, What Is It?, The Word Association Game, etc.
An IRC chat for another means of communication between participants.
More guest speakers from a variety of backgrounds to make the World Fair a truer exposition of the variety of opinion and experience in NationStates.
A Great Debate Hall in which to talk about current world issues and developments, giving nations a chance to learn and talk about the events occurring in and problems facing NationStates today.

2) What should this year’s theme for the World Fair be?
"Individuality in NationStates"
This follows from the philosophy that each player has individual and unique perspectives, arguments and experiences to bring to a region and the world at large. No nation is like the last or the next and makes their region and the world richer. No nation ought to be forgotten.
EDIT: Bid revised to include contests and IRC.

It looks good, but I would add a bit more to the activities we will offer. We could potentially offer some of the games we have at the DSA on a regular basis, an IRC chat, and various contests as well. I guess that would just be adding a bit more of the DSA into our submission.

Looking over last year's World Fair, they already had plenty of games, but I will definitely add contests to the bid. I'll go ahead and look over the contests forum here to get some suggestions.

Ok. Well it would still be important to list those games though.

Makes sense. I'm looking around our own forum to get more inspiration. So we ought to have the first few games on our forum listed, like Corrupt a Wish (which I'm so glad took off), Guess Who Will Post Next, etc.

(250 posts. WOOT!)

Regarding Smartopia, I think it's no big deal. He's obviously never played the game before an hopefully he'll get the memo that you can't post certain things on our rmb.

Also, great job on the bid TSJI.

@TSS I agree that there is definitely a high chance of that as well, but I wouldn't rule out the possibility of him being a troll.

@TSJI Those would be great to add, so when are you going to submit our application? If we need more consensus on this, I could send a tg to all the cabinet members.

@Haltari: I'd like to get a more review over it. I'll be submitting it in the next day or two, provided a couple more Cabinet members look it over.

Well, it looks like I was wrong about Smartopia, I didn't see all his comments because by the time I logged on most of them have been deleted. I'm really hoping something like this doesn't happen again.
