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.

Haltari, that is why I told Uni that an alliance is simply out of the question. I think that a defense pact may not necessarily be against our policy though, but I know it is sort of a gray area, which is why I came to all of you. |

A defense pact with the UDL or any other defender organization is just plain redundant. The UDL is supposed to protect all regions that are in danger, so what exactly would we be getting out of such an agreement? Nothing. If they wouldn't helps us in case of an emergency just because we didn't sign this pact then they would just prove themselves to be hypocrites. On the other hand, the UDL would get a foothold in our region as well as drag all of us (both those interested in the R/D game and those who are not) into one of the most divisive issues in NationStates. I'd be firmly against such a disproportionate deal. Edited by Grobladonia, 24 Feb 2014, 15:05.

I agree, Grob, which is why I said such a pact would be unlikely. |

Putting my personal misgivings about the UDL and the entire R/D game aside, I absolutely agree with Grobs. |

TSJI, When do you think I should declassify the last cabinet meetings? It's not really in the agenda, so I was just wondering.I also completely agree. It's also not like we would actually ever need this defense pact with opalaland as our founder. |

I think your meaning is still escaping me, but alas. And Grobladonia, I think we have consensus. No deal! |

Well, Avaerilon of the SLU sent me this telegram the other day and I'd like to share it with you. :D I for one like it. I've proposed a Delegates' Summit in the vein of the Ministers of Justice summit that Gervase attended. Any thoughts? |

Forum activity is down significantly and I'm not sure I can identify the cause, but I have a suspicion. This happens to be about the same tine as last year when activity had a sudden drop and I was wondering: are people having to deal with exams or stuff like that at the moment? I'm not sure when these happen elsewhere in the world. I'll try and organize a scavenger hunt in order to try and boost activity around here. It may take me about two weeks however. |
