Greetings to you, my fellow Comrades of the twelfth Cabinet of the DSA! :)

I congratulate you all for being elected/reelected to your Cabinet positions and I eagerly look forward to working with all of you this term.

I would like everyone to review your job descriptions in the Charter. I encourage all first-timers to freely ask any and all questions about your ministerial duties, either here or by telegram with those who have held your position in the past. If you think you will have difficulty fulfilling your duties, I encourage you to appoint an adviser and/or request help from volunteers in the Government Jobs subforum.

Below is my agenda for this term. I invite each of you to provide any feedback and to also provide any additional ideas or initiatives that you would like for your Ministries to pursue over the next 75 days.

I will be busy in RL this term and will not be around as much as I'd like to be. However, I aim to be available to answer questions and check in with your Ministries at least once a week (usually weekends).

Without further ado, my agenda:

Office of the President and WA Delegate:
1. Regional Polls: I would like us to have a much better picture of how residents see the region and their place in it so that we can target initiatives that will increase activity and boost morale.

2. Featured 5: I will renew the weekly roster. This boosts morale and increases dialogue and intrigue between Comrades; so I will make sure to do this regularly.

Office of the Secretary General:
1. Audit the congressional roster in the Forum; make updates to roles/statuses as necessary.
2. Organize an evaluation of the 11th Cabinet.
3. If you wish, appoint an adviser to help point you in the right direction.

Ministry of Foreign Affairs:
1. Draft and deliver formal apology to the residents of the old Alliance for the trespasses of New Puppy City.
2. Offer your recommendations for accepting/rejecting current embassy requests from abroad.
3. Distribute puppets to allied regions and announce your new position with a warm greeting from your ministry and the DSA.
4. Review current alliances and their regional statuses; compile brief intelligence report for the Cabinet.
5. Give recommendations for closure of embassies (if any) and/or new alliances to form (if any).

Ministry of Immigration and Regional Promotion:
1. Keep up the good work! Despite heavy losses due to mass-CTE, our region still hovers around 285 - a significant improvement from the recent past.
2. Keep the Cabinet updated about any interregional or world-wide conferences, or anything else that you think would be a good venue in which to promote our region.

Ministry of Justice:
1. Remedy any loose ends left from the previous Minister between their untimely absence and now.
2. Audit region for Charter compliance and begin proceedings for violators, if any. Report findings directly to the Secretary General so that they may update the Congressional Roster accordingly.

Ministry of Domestic Affairs:
1. Host a new discussion/debate in the Forum and advertise it in both Solidarity and with posts on the RMB.
2. Hold a contest for anything you'd like. In the past we have done things like best factbook entry, best flag, best motto, etc.
3. In the RMB, personally welcome newcomers with a quick post.
4. Compile a new daily or weekly bulletin (like the DDD or Proletariat Press) to summarize things that are going on in the Forum, the NS World, and RL as well.

Ministry of Role Play:
1. Map updates if any.
2. Solidify or create new notes for the regional LCD currency.
3. Introduce a resolution for the DSA Parliament.
4. Host a new RP activity in the Forum.

Please do not hesitate to ask questions. I encourage you to put forth your new ideas and discussion. I wish you all a successful and enjoyable term :)

On the matter of the list, I kept it updated during my term in office as well. It never had any hard dates of when everyone was featured on it, so it's mostly just a historic curiosity at this point.

If needs be, we might start a new list with dates on it.

I was also wondering if you would be able to start working on the daily/weekly news stuff. I am thinking that a more effective way to get people in the region to start reading Solidarity more often would be to post it there rather than in the RMB like we used to do. Then we could just announce when the publication is finished in the RMB and people could go to the site to read it. I am willing to help, but I'm too busy to take it on by myself.

One section I was thinking would be cool to add is a featured factbook entry from the DSA. Just today I discovered a new one: http://www.nationstates.net/nation=fraztovia/detail=factbook/id=246188

I think this could be a fun way to get nations to be checking out and interacting with others here in the region. Let me know your thoughts!
I'm not yet familiar enough with the forums and Solidarity. How is Solidarity even edited? Who writes in it?

I've tried to have some presence on the RMB, though. It seems to me that people are reluctant to use the forum. I've started a contest => a couple of people seemed interested enough to actually access the forum.

The zombie invasion, however, made people cooperate very nicely, on the RMB. They got organized and worked together. I'm not sure how I/we can raise everyone's interest in interacting. With the zombies, it was like magic: even our ever-so-silent founder wrote a couple of lines on the RMB. People who haven't said a word during the current Cabinet telegramed each-other and interacted on the RMB. Last time I saw such a level of activity, it was when our comrades were on trial for their flag changes and attitudes...

Also, I'm very busy with work, much more than I was this summer. This limits the time I can spend on compiling interesting topics for our comrades...

Anyway, what's happening with the World Fair? What are the next things to do?

I'll add the featured nominated by me to the existing list.

Yeah. We should do that again. Someone do something stupid and against the Charter, NOW!

Well, there was that time when Borq tried to register their puppet as a Charter Member. Can we prosecute them for that?

Hmm... Well, that's only against the Charter in that we didn't allow him to do so. If he had been successful at fooling us, and had stayed for a reasonable period of time, then we could, but it's not happening now.

And speaking of the good old days, remember when the Minister of Justice ceased to exist during one of the cases, and I had to finish it? Those were the days...

I'll keep trying to sneak in a puppet by the SecGen. One day, ONE DAY!
