Comrades, old and new: welcome to the newly-elected Tenth Cabinet of the DSA!

First off, allow me to extend felicitations to you all on your successful elections! Yay! It was no cakewalk this time. Candidates competed with campaigns and platforms. I think that's a first, but if it isn't, it's gaining a lot more traction now that it's noticeable. So many were qualified, and just as many were attractive candidates, making it tough to decide! No worries, you are all well, most of us are here. We still have to wait for the Minister of Roleplay.

While the by-election is being held, take notice of the meeting format. It's divided into two parts - three if you count the discussion. The first is the Agenda, which are the everchanging objectives we hope to achieve. Depending on extenuating circumstances, these objectives can change or be given different priorities. Hopefully, it's because they've been completed. The second, Items for individual ministries, are your regular (if not daily) chores. They are predictable and never end. Take joys in the little accomplishments you make to stave off any boredom. Before you know it, your term will be over, so don't dilly-dally and be left with any regrets. If you feel you need orientation in either of these areas, please contact the previous ministers or myself. The next part is copied and pasted because I'm unoriginal and couldn't think of another way to word it:

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.

I officially open the 0th Cabinet Meeting of the 10th Cabinet. Yes, 0th. It's preliminary.

---Agenda---

Familiarize yourselves with your positions and get settled. Preferably in your office in the specific sub-forums. Decorate your desks and organize your file-cabinets.

Nothing more for today. Wouldn't want to overload you on your first days. Baby steps. Class dismissed! :D

---Items for individual ministries---

Secretary General (SG):
1. Make sure everything is updated (Amendments, Charter nations, etc.).
2. Organise an evaluation of the Ninth Cabinet.
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.
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.
3. Familiarize yourself with the Charter.

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. Keep your eyes peeled for interregional events.
4. Experiment: find out what works and what doesn't. Perhaps a survey could tell us why people chose our region.

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. (I am speaking of course of the new NSWiki.org created by Afforess. Contact TSJI for info on how they managed it.)
--There should not be too much to change, aside from population and proofreading.
4. Update the DSA Capitol factbook.
5. Appoint an advisor, if desired.

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.

Oh I apologize. I would still like a generally consensus on how everyone feels about it. And while we're at it, I move to allow him into our meetings.
Of course I like your idea to make Comrade Kryftland your Aide and I fully support your motion.

Also, we have received an embassy request from Congress of Armed Proletariat States. This, in fact, is not an actual request, but an invitation to join a pan-socialist alliance.

Here is a short run-down of what they're trying to do:

Gimme all your thoughts. :P

I fear that you need to explain their proposal to me. I don't use the NS++ and therefore can't read this newspaper article.

Kryftland has accept my offer for him to become my advisor. I now need Cabinet Approval.
Terlibe, you've got my approval.

Here's what the newsletter says:
Quote:
 
Comrades;

This is an organizational work in progress, and its birth requires the participation of a sizable number of socialist aligned regions. It aims to be a centralized force for the realization of the will of the entire international working class.

Each region has received an embassy request as an invitation to join, and acceptance presupposes compliance with the prerequisite of having put the question of membership in CAPS to regional residency with approval. The first 100 delegates to the Congress will be tasked with drafting a constitution, to define internal organizational structure, policies, and procedure, as well as the relationship of the organization to non-socialist regions and the World Assembly.

Apportionment of seats to CAPS will begin on May 19th. The constitutional convention will be held on an off-site forum shortly afterward.

The tasks before us are paramount to the victory of the world revolution; prompt response from every region is necessitated! All power to the proletariat! Together, we will build international solidarity and smash the entirety of the capitalists' system of exploitation!

Prompt response? I don't even know where we stand in the alliance we've been working towards... Would it be prudent to seek this one as well?

It doesn't have to be too prompt. I spoke to the founder and told him about our process and that we'll need some time. Unfortunately, I don't really know what we should do about this, which is why I came to you.

We could always wait until it's established, then join, but then we'd lose the opportunity to help draft the constitution.
