Why Don't We Try This Again. :P; A (smaller) Saint Jamesian Manifesto

A Manifesto for a New Secretary General
For the unaware, I am stepping down as President of Congress. I feel that I have not been effective in the position, but I have enjoyed the administrative side of affairs. Call it drunk with power, but it has prompted me to run for the post of Secretary General.

For Performance
A President should not be burdened with administrative tasks. This is what the Secretary General is there to do, after all. I plan to bring tasks like running elections back into the SecGen's hands so that the President can focus on the big problems facing our region. The more administrative task the SecGen can handle, the more our President can focus on his job and the more service the SecGen is to the region.

For Quality
As Secretary General, I want to ensure that our Congress is playing within the rules. Ensuring that member states are actively fulfilling their obligations under the Charter is one of the SecGen's tasks and one that I want to uphold. I also want to ensure that the forum is maintained to high standards. As a next-to-daily resident of the forum, daily work to discover little secrets to make our forum more convenient and useful is something I strive to provide.

For Convenience
The Secretary General administrates on the forum. Part of these privileges is that to move and organise topics. The proposals to reorganise our forum is a topic dear to my heart and one that I want to see carried out. Making our forum, the fount and host of our collective works, more convenient for its users is a duty that no SecGen can ignore.

A New Ministry of Domestic Affairs
But everyone needs a bit of competition. So in the interest of providing some competition to someone who would have otherwise have been the sole candidate, I am also running for Minister of Domestic Affairs.

A Ministry by the People
My first campaign is to pass the Bureau of Public Information Act already proposed. This is a collaborative effort and I want every member of the DSA to be involved in its creation and passage. Everyone knowing the bounds and duties of the Ministry is the key to ensuring that future occupants can handle the task entrusted upon them by the region without any existential meltdowns.

A Ministry for the People
The job of the Ministry is to provide the DSA with bread and circuses, if we could call knowledge "bread". The former is the purpose of the "Daily Spam", keep people informed. The latter has been somewhat lacking lately. My first priority, after the Bureau of Public Information, is to organise a contest for the DSA. The plan is to hold one at least once every two weeks.

A Ministry of the People
The Bureau of Public Information is the key link between the Minister and the region. Ordinary volunteers serving their region by collecting information from all over the interwebz is a vision to reduce the burden of the Ministry on its holders while providing opportunities for budding nations to get involved with the DSA and provide the region with a critical service.
