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.
3. Appoint an advisor, if desired.
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):
1. Make sure the auto-telegram system is transferred and working properly.
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.
4. Update the DSA Capitol factbook.
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.

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... :ermm: I'm definitely looking forward to an active Sec Gen to take some of the administrative load off...
Ok. I'll start it in a week or so. About TSS inactivity, I can definitely relate. That's kind of what I had to do for the last 2 terms of my Presidency, although I think that TSS was more active in the 7th cabinet than in the 8th cabinet. If it makes you feel any better, I have already made sure that everything is updated.

Well I had already made the changes to the Charter as passed, so I saved you some work there. I'll just check up on a couple small pieces that have gone rather overlooked in recent times...

Yeah. I noticed that. I meant the parts you didn't do like the Congress list and the Charter Opt-in.

I've been worried about that. I appreciate it. :wub:

I've updated the factbook of the Capitol with the government positions in both the 8th and 9th Cabinets. I've also updated the link to the Charter (it linked to the older version) and to the map.

Regrading the map, the link I found there was this one, which was outdated, though I don't know by how much. So I'm going to need Corujea's help in figuring out who is still on the map and who has been added since the last update of the link.

I would just like to say Suc's just given me the auto telegram info, so I should get that running soon.

I have also just updated DSA statistics. We have grown by about 4 nations. Hooray.

Boy these seats are comfy...

Also, another thing I noticed was that, in the charter, the SG is the official caretaker of the Capitol of the DSA. Even though I'm more than willing to do this, I was a bit surprised by this because the MDA always did this in the past. Who do you think should do this job?

Kiptoke, what program are we running recruitment on these days?

P.S. You will find this thread on probable changes to automated recruiting worth reading: http://forum.nationstates.net/viewtopic.php?f=15&t=279532&start=250. In short, we may need to set up a manual recruitment team again soon to complement what we're doing with the automated tool.
