Cabinet Meeting 8.2; opened 7 December, closed 25 January

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.

Sure Corujean, and Suceavija, I'll also be putting up the population updates into PP. I'm actually away from home right now for Christmas, and internet is unreliable, so I might not be able to post another update until like the 27th :/

Just to let everyone know, I'm going to be doing quite a bit of travel the first two weeks of January -- first to Montreal from the 2nd to 5th and then to Nicaragua from the 7th to 15th. I'll be in touch solidly through the Canada portion, if perhaps a little slow in replying, but I might not be able to check in very often during the Nicaragua part. I'll do my best, but please be patient if I don't get back to you right away. Fortunately I should be back well in time for the next round of elections.

Enjoy your trip, Gervase! :D
I actually used to visit Montreal quite often when my sister and her wife used to live there. For breakfast or brunch I recommend Cora's Restaurant - they serve delicious crepes the size of your head :D

To all:
I have finally figured out the autoTG thing thanks to TSJI's patient guidance :D It's already targeted about 20 new nations; so we should hopefully see our numbers rebound soon!

Thanks for the advice! I'm really looking forward to a meat sandwich from Schwartz's.

Progress Report for my ministry:

The recruitment tool is now working properly. It has already reached around 300 nations since I rebooted it yesterday (one every 180 seconds, according to the website). I also have personally solicited 107 established nations in feeder/sinker regions who meet our basic Charter requirements. One of those has already joined us as a result :)

I would like to specifically thank TSJI for putting up with my questions, confusion, and several TGs back and forth so that I could get caught up to speed and get everything up and running :P

I think it would be wise for the admins to move the post from Misley in our Hall of Honour to a more appropriate forum. The Hall of Honour is for drafting and displaying acts of Congress.

@ Terlibe & TSJI: Since it is not possible to exchange embassies with The Internationale, would you please ask Misley to cease spamming our RMB and Forum about that? I'm concerned about the inevitable conflict that it is meant to instigate.

And now for something completely different:

Suc, I have two threads ready to post in the World Fair forum. I'd like it if you look them over quickly. (I'd like to post them if it's okay.)

They won't look exactly like that on the NSWF forum, but it's what I could cobble together in three hours. ;)
