To my comrades of the Ninth 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 this meeting of the Ninth Cabinet. ---Agenda--- 1. Review jobs offered in the 'Help Wanted' subforum If you want an assistant for your ministry, post the job in the subforum. 2. Munificent Interregional Alliance (Continuation of IRALL) The Alliance treaty is currently in the drafting stage on the NS forums. Our responsibility is to draw up the government section of the treaty. Once the entire treaty is completed, it will need to be put up for a congressional vote. 3. The World Assembly I would like to see us acting as a more unified force on World Assembly affairs. This may include the Ministry of World Assembly Affairs, proposed by United Federation of Canada/Chester Pearson, last term or something of that nature. Ideas on this front are more than welcome 4. Interregional Diplomacy I would again like to see the establishment of new embassies if possible. I would also like to see regular communication with and from our current embassy regions, whose ties we will be strengthening with the Alliance treaty. 5. Congressional Action Now that we have a formal legislative process set up, I would like to get the ball rolling on proper legislation. One of the ideas brought up during the election was have Congress formally question the Cabinet. Other suggestions are welcome. 6. DSA Role Play Convention In cooperation with the Minister of Role Play, I would like to see a second round of the DSA Role Play Convention to outline details on the new common currency, a Bank of the DSA, a miniature WA for the DSA and establishing our roleplay history. 7. Reorganising the Forum To complement new activity in the Court and possible new activity in the Congress, I would like to see the Secretary General and I reorganise the forums under the guidance and recommendations of DSAers. ---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. 4. Contact the Scientific States to familiarise yourself with the position. 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): 2. Review and revise recruitment telegram draft. 3. Contact the Suceavija to familiarise yourself with the position. 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. 5. Appoint an advisor, if desired. 6. Contact Lemur Isles 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.

Well it's good to be back. ![]() 2. Can you post a link to the draft? i would just like to see how it's coming along. 5. Other legislation that we could consider is the creation of some congressional departments and new directors in the Role-Play Ministry. The expansion of the RP Ministry was one of my original intentions when writing the amendments. 7. I remember that there were some suggestions on how to reorganize the form even back under my Presidency. Maybe we could use those as starting points. Also, one other thing that could be added is some amendments like adding a period for accepting nominations and introducing electoral platforms, as Grobladonia suggested last week. |

Welcome, Kiptoke! Welcome back, Haltari! Haltari, the discussion is here. And if you could link me to the reorganisation discussion from your presidency, I'd appreciate it.

Oh. That's the same discussion I started. When you said it was in the drafting stage, I thought you meant that a portion of it was already drafted. Edited by Haltari, 25 Jan 2014, 05:05.

And it looks like the forum reorganization was started by you under your Presidency. I felt like that discussion happened a lot earlier. Also, now that I look at it, not very much was proposed, so I guess we can bring up this discussion again. Link: http://s1.zetaboards.com/DemocraticSocialist/topic/5311582/1/ |

Ah, the comfy chairs of the Cabinet Meeting Room! It's nice to be back. Hello to all the Cabinet members. ![]() EDIT: Who was holding which position in the 8th Cabinet? I remember some, but not all. In need to put that on the list before I can do the 9th in the Capitol's factbook. Edited by Grobladonia, 25 Jan 2014, 22:42.

Congratulations, newly-elected and reelected Cabinet members. As you may know, we have a new case before the Court regarding the recent controversy surrounding Animula Vagula Blandula that I hope to get some input on: http://s1.zetaboards.com/DemocraticSocialist/topic/5360588/1/#new Grobladonia, you may find this page from my Factbook useful: http://www.nationstates.net/nation=gervase/detail=factbook/id=93267 I'm also planning on doing an audit of the region for Charter compliance in the coming week, so stay tuned for that.

For the 8th cabinet evaluation, when do all of you think this should take place? Should this be done now or in a few weeks? |

@Grobladonia: Welcome back! I look forward to the changes to the capitol city factbook. I'm also thinking about removing our link to it in the WFE proper given that I can just pin the main page now. Yea or nay?@Gervase: I don't know what I can contribute to the case as a whole, but I will get that pinned on the Current Business board stat. @Haltari: I'd wait a few days before starting a Cabinet evaluation. The inactivity of TSS as Sec Gen definitely wasn't conducive to a proper evaluation and not starting one up myself certainly was a fault of mine... I'm definitely looking forward to an active Sec Gen to take some of the administrative load off...On the subject of the drafting, the VF in the last page has actually made proposals concerning the military section of the treaty. So I'm assuming that we will be doing the scrutiny of the drafts in the public thread that you created. |
