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.

It is my sad duty to again recommend the following nation for ejection out of the Democratic Socialist Assembly:

Glossarian

They for a second time have failed to correct their nation on their own and ignored my offers of assistance.

We'll let me just say that Kryftland has decided that he can no longer assume the position. He has again decided to leave NationStates. This news was sad to hear for me, as I'm sure it is to all of you. Kryftland and I have become friends and I truly hope he returns to NS someday, as he said he might do.

It is indeed sad to hear this, but I’m sure that Comrade Kryftland had some serious reasons for such decision. Let's hope that someday he will return to NS.

I have a proposal. Why don't we use the recruitment tool off NS++ by Afforess?

It's easy, it's accessible, and it would probably crash less than Auralia's recruitment tool. I am running a test run right now and will conclude later. I will return with results.

Here is what is it looks like: http://www.nationstates.net/page=blank?recruitment=the_kiptoke_interregional_consulate

I appreciate feedback. Thanks!

Fenua

Freshwater

Lambia

Mercenary Peoples

Noradon

PfistopianV2

The statistical parameters of these nations have violated Charter requirements for Residency, and I properly warned them about consequences of non-compliance, but unfortunately they failed to correct their nations on their own and ignored my offers of assistance.

I again make the legal ruling that the provisions of the Article III, Section I, Subsection I, Clause III of the Charter can be ignored during the upcoming elections of the Minister of Domestic Affairs. It is the responsibility of the Secretary General to decide how to conduct the elections if there will be more than two candidates.

I'm not annulling this broken Clause for all future elections at once because I believe that we all need a reminding that the situation when we are forced to simply ignore one of the Charter provisions is absolutely unnatural and undesirable. It is our duty to amend this part of the Charter as promptly as possible.

I'd really hate to post this here, but it's the only way I see I can get help.

I am experiencing honest hatred and disgust at Marxhaven's actions as of late.

He is disrespecting me as not only a nation, but as a human being also.

Also, as a shout out to our MoRP, he has complete disregard for the RP, literally conquering my nation in one post.

Again, I am literally gritting my teeth and shaking in anger against Marxhaven right now.

Please help me.

You and Marxhaven simply are using different styles in Role-Playing.

If you want to have some standards in RP you should organize it on the forum where the rules and guidelines for each RP can be settled in separate OOC threads.

Comrade Ratatague, after reviewing the Charter I have found out that according to the Article II, Section II, Subsection IV, Clause VIII of the Charter the President is required to feature five nations every week, so I fear that your initiative to transform the Featured Five into the Featured Four wasn't legal. I’m forced to ask you to return to the procedure of featuring five nations every week.
