To my comrades of the Eighth Cabinet of the DSA, greetings!

I wish to congratulate all of you on being elected or reelected your respective posts in the Cabinet and look forward to working with all of you during this term. Below you will find the issues that I would like the Cabinet to discuss and commit to as its shared agenda. However, all of you are free and encouraged to provide any feedback, ideas and initiatives you would like the Cabinet to pursue over the coming weeks.

For all newcomers, the purpose of these meetings is to discuss issues facing the region as a whole and receive status updates from ministers on their duties in the region. I shall ask each of you to regularly (preferably at least once every week or two) update the Cabinet on the status of your ministries and share any concerns. I shall provide each ministry with a small list of items to address, though you need not discuss all of these at once as long as you get to each of them eventually.

With that being said and without further delay, I declare open the first meeting of the Eighth Cabinet.

---Agenda---

1. Commendation for Haltari
This was brought up by Gervase (if my memory serves me correctly, I forgot to archive the original telegram) after the start of nominations for this Cabinet. This would be to recognise Haltari's work as President and World Assembly Delegate and before that as Minister of Immigration and Regional Promotion.

2. Region Tags
This had come up during my term as MoC, but little was ever done on this. I would like to get the Cabinet's and possibly Congress's opinion on this and edit them appropriately.

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

4. Left Expo 2013
We have been invited by Kryftland to participate, though no definite details about this event have yet emerged.


5. Leftist Alliance (Continuation of IRALL)
The discussion resumed and stagnated on the NS forum. This would essentially be an alliance of leftist regions in the same vein as IRALL.

6. International and Embassy Expansion
In continuation from last term, I would like to see us expand our links further and see a couple more embassies established. In that vein, I'd also like to see us encourage more nations, especially active ones, to serve as ambassadors.

7. Forum Activity
Of particular concern to me is the lack of activity amongst the Congress outside of elections and a relatively slow forum in general. I would like to get some resolutions and laws passed through Congress to start the ball rolling, have the MoRP encourage more role plays in the Gymnasia and see the MDA do the same in the Great Debate Hall.

8. NS World Fair

---Items for individual ministries---

Secretary General (SG):
1. Make sure everything is updated (Amendments, Charter nations, etc.).
2. Organise an evaluation of the Seventh Cabinet.
3. Appoint an advisor, if desired.

Minister of Foreign Affairs (MFA):
1. Make embassy recommendations to P/WAD.
2. Try to find new regions to potentially establish embassies with.
3. Monitor ambassadors for potential inactivity.
4. Appoint an advisor, if desired.

Minister of Justice (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.

Minister of Immigration/Regional Promotion (MIRP):
1. Make sure the auto-telegram system is transferred and working properly.
2. Review and revise recruitment telegram draft.
3. Try to find more info about the Left Expo 2013.


Minister of Domestic Affairs (MDA):
1. Come up with new debate ideas.
2. Try to come up with a new contest or game.
3. Try to update all the information in the NS Wiki. (This will be problematic, given that NSWiki is "down for maintenance".)
--There should not be too much to change. Mainly population and a few other minor details.
4. Update the DSA Capitol factbook.
5. Appoint an advisor, if desired.
6. Contact Suceavija to familiarise yourself with the position.

Minister of Role Play (MoRP):
1. Verify all nations on map are:
--Existing
--Reside in the region (domestic puppets okay, too)
2. Keep the map current and updated.
3. Encourage new roleplays in the Gymnasia.
4. Contact Arahu to familiarise yourself with the position
5. Appoint a chair for the DSA currency discussion.

If the everyone else is fine with that, so am I. Relations with the North Pacific would be interesting to say the least.

I'm also still waiting on a response to Escade's proposal about the World Fair. -_-

I'm not sure we should open up embassies with The North Pacific, do they meet our criteria. I'm sure more than 30 percent of their nations fall into our restricted categories, which we can't have in an embassy.

THIS IS A DRAFT FOR THE LEFT EXPO THING

[region]The Democratic Socialist Assembly[/*region] (I AM NOT GOOD WITH CODE, IS THIS CORRECT?) The second tag is incorrect and ought to be [/*region] (minus the asterisk). Don't worry, I make that mistake all the time. -_-


Short Description:
Hello, Comrades! We are the great people from the Democratic Socialist Assembly (DSA). We are the largest explicitly socialist region in NationStates. Our 408 nations enjoy meeting other comrades, roleplaying, debating (we also have an off-site forum for more fun), and even playing an influential role on a global scale (many are involved in the WA). We have a very active government that is inclusive to all countries. Everyone can get involved! We have elections, discussions; there are countless ways to get your voice heard no matter how long you have been playing. When it comes to active leftism, the DSA supports leftist socialist policies. We put democracy and the people before private profits and discourage both capitalism and Stalin-Maoism; preferring democratic socialism (we have some democratic-anarchists and Marxists as well). In conclusion, the DSA is an enormous think tank and region for leftists throughout NationStates. We welcome all nations, and may the left of NationStates unite! I don't know what everyone else thinks of this, but the middle part sounds a tad preachy (for lack of a better word) to me. Considering who else will likely be in attendance, we really want to word this carefully.

Population: 408 This will need updating at the Expo itself, but it will be somewhere around 400.

Relevant Region Tags: Democratic, Enormous, Socialist, Regional Government, and Social.

Interregional Relations: We have embassies with the Social Liberal Union, the Versutian Federation, and the Union of Democratic Leftist States. I would simply list the names of the regions we have embassies with. It would be implicitly understood that we have embassies with them.

Military Policy: (ARE WE DEFENDER OR NEUTRAL?) We are neutral.

Unique Feature: One of the best regions at fighting Zombie Hordes. We may want to quantify that accomplishment.

Plans for the Future: The DSA plans to grow and make the nation states left an influential movement. We hope to be a home for comrades looking for freedom and equality, and we will continue to prosper. I don't know if we need this per se.

I think a Cabinet meeting might be in order given recent events in the Internationale.

An emergency meeting like the one about Opalaland rejoining the WA? I can most certainly organise one if you think it might be necessary.

It might be a good idea to send out a TG to the Cabinet members. I do think we have some things to discuss, namely what our policy on TI should be as this situation develops.

Well, an emergency Cabinet session certainly is in order. Hopefully, we can get our formal response together as soon as possible. Plus, we need to discuss LeftExpo, which is scheduled to begin tomorrow. (I will go ahead and ask Kryftland if it is still going ahead as scheduled or if it is being postponed perchance.)
