Given recent events and fresh ideas from our fellow region members, I believe a new place to discuss them would be appropriate. I will hope that a Cabinet meeting for every 25 days will remain feasible, though its return is just an experiment for right now. I shall still ask each of you to regularly update the Cabinet on the status of your ministries and share any concerns. I have again proposed an agenda to carry over from the previous meeting and provided each ministry with a small list of items to address, though again you need not discuss all of these at once as long as you get to each of them eventually.

Therefore, I declare open the second meeting of the Eighth Cabinet.

---Agenda---

1. 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.


2. 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.

3. International and Embassy Expansion
I would still like to see us expand our links further, see a couple more embassies established and encourage more nations, especially active ones, to serve as ambassadors.

4. 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.

5. NS World Fair
The People's Socialism is currently in discussions with the South Pacific on the DSA's role in the World Fair. Our region may want to start getting its presentation ready.

6. DSA-TI Relations
Given the continuing military zone in force in the Internationale and the continuing evacuation of non-WA nations, I would like the Cabinet to determine a future for the as of yet unofficial and limited DSA involvement in the situation.


7. Proposals from region-mates
Commendation of Haltari for service as P/WAD and MIRP
Fifth Cabinet entry in Capitol Factbook (proposed by Grobladonia, in progress)
Ministry of World Assembly Affairs (proposed by United Federation of Canada)

---Items for individual ministries---

Secretary General (SG):
1. Make sure everything is updated (Amendments, Charter nations, etc.).
2. Organise an evaluation of the Eighth Cabinet before the end of the term.
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.

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. Keep tabs on the auto-telegram system and make sure its working properly.
2. Continue negotiations and discussions on the NS World Fair.


incoming Minister of Domestic Affairs (MDA):
1. Come up with new debate ideas.
2. Try to come up with a new contest or game.
3. Update the DSA Capitol factbook.
4. Appoint an advisor, if desired.
5. Contact Suceavija or Arahu 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. Appoint a chair for the DSA currency discussion.

Yeah, I think that Suceavija would be an obvious person to promote to administrator emeritus. If we need a second admin, I think Laevendell would also be a good candidate.

Welcome to the Cabinet, Lemur Isles!

I also think Suceavija would be a good choice for admin emeritus.

Thanks Gervase!

I just got this telegram today from Ivory Rhodes

Hello,
I just wanted to propose and idea that could help benefit the DSA by rating nations, sort of like a credit score/grade. Before I go more in-depth with my idea, I'd like to know if this would somehow be possible to be made something official. I hope to hear from you shortly.
Regards,
Ivory Rhodes


It seems like it might be interesting, but I'm not exactly sure what they mean by making it "official". I suppose it can't hurt? :P

It seems like a lot of work. Unless we have some math whizzes here that came up with a formula.

It's possible -- I've actually though of something like this before as part of an economic RP -- though the details would be somewhat complicated to implement. It might tie in nicely with the regional currency idea, especially if people want to get more into that as an RP. If Ivory Rhodes wants to go ahead and come up with some concept, I say let them go for it.

On that front, I'm going to try getting in touch with Corujea again to see what's going on with him. I'm starting to get very nervous about the state of the map project.

This came in about 24 hours ago:

computer problems (bad HD and a problem with delay getting the new one... also, in the last few weeks I almost didn't even stop at home, work things... tired, my health a little weaker than recommended, but all good.

I'm not sure when Corujea is going to get back to the duties of the ministry, but Corujea is still alive. (If that is any consolation.)
