Hello, comrades, and congratulations on your election!

This term holds some excitement with the NS World's Fair, only a few weeks away. Other than that, it's business as usual, more or less. Newcomers, check out your job descriptions in the Charter, returning Cabinet members, welcome back! If there are any questions, feel free to ask. I'll be pretty available this term, so I can respond within 2 days at the most.

Below is the proposed agenda for the term.

President/WA Delegate:

  • Find out what the people want from the Cabinet via polls.
  • Organize preparations for the World's Fair

Secretary General

  • Keep the Members of Congress list up to date
  • Update the top-of-forum bulletin to more accurately reflect any new goings-on in the forum.
  • Create an evaluation of the previous Cabinet
  • Amend electoral provisions regarding abstentions

Minister of Foreign Affairs

  • Ensure that there are active ambassadors to each of our allies
  • Investigate potential allies, both those that request being allies and those that you believe have potential.
  • Announce election results to allies.

Minister of Immigration and Regional Promotion

  • First and foremost, prepare for the World's Fair!
  • Update the DSA Population Statistics, seeing as the most recent entry in in September.

Minister of Justice

  • Continue to audit the DSA and its Members of Congress for Charter compliance. South Jarvis can supply you with a list of non-complying nations.

Minister of Domestic Affairs

  • Host a new contest similar to the best country one
  • Reinstate some sort of DSA news bulletin
  • Propose a Featured Five each week

Minister of Role Play

  • Keep the map up-to-date, including looking into the previously proposed vector format.
  • Try to bring back interest into the role-playing section of the forum and Forum7, both of which have seen little activity.

Finally, we all need to prepare for the World's Fair, as we all play some role in representing the region.

Okay, who has the keys to the Capitol of the DSA? And generally the DSA's policy is to pursue embassies with regions that have similar beliefs, but, as made apparent by the unfinished "Proposal to amend the MFA's duties", our definitive, legally binding responsibilities are entirely on the table. In this case, the region is pretty big, and I'm not entirely sure about if it has a particular ideology, but in this case, it's really just a matter of whether the people want it. I'm personally not a huge fan of the idea, but it's not my decision.

I've got the password to the Capitol of the DSA, and I'll change the flag later today.

EDIT: Done!

Also, does anyone know what the policy on declassifying old Cabinet meeting threads is?

For all intents and purposes, I will immediately start auto-telegrams with my former telegram format. If anyone can TG the one that TSJI used in his term, that would be great.

I will also be using Auralia's failure (it crashes so much) of a TG tool to Auto TG new recruits. I will create a new nation to see if it works properly.

I want to run a few tests to see if Shadow Afforess's Auto TG tool on NS++ is any more efficient, but those will have to wait.

I will get the pop chart updated as soon as possible. If anyone can tell me the date that we became embassy partners with Labour and Socialist International, that would also be great.

More importantly, Feux of Lazarus approached me via TG to say that their region is interested in establishing an embassy with the DSA. I'm rather hesitant to accept, given that we tend to focus our foreign policy on other like-minded regions and Lazarus is something of an outlier in that regard. Your thoughts, other Cabinet members?
While I acknowledge the relevance of sinker/feeders, I'm wary of the big names that like to frequent those regions, and the antics that result from that individual or collective desire to remain in the spotlight. Plus, I read the newspapers over in Gameplay, and one of the latest headlines was some conflict between them and one of the Pacifics. So rather than pass judgement, because it's maddening to figure out whose side of the story to believe, I have some questions you could ask (on top of what you have):

What is the culture of Lazarus? How dedicated are they to democratic principles? Is their socialism merely a GCR flavor-of-the-month, or can we rely on them not to change face after we establish connections? Are they a similar Lazarus as they were under Milograd's regime, or have they taken a new direction away from what resembled a revolutionary movement? What are their current engagements and relations with other GCRs that we should know about? And less important concerns like the various embassy conflicts (defender and invader regions, monarchist and socialist regions)

-----

Also, thank you South Jarvis for providing a list of the current charter offenders. ^_^ I really have no preference as to how I receive them. Whichever is more convenient.

I've declassified the Cabinet meeting thread of the 11th Cabinet. Unless anyone has any objections, I'll do the same to the 12th Cabinet thread in a few days.

@ Gervase:

There is a backlog of embassy requests that I just found now - I apologize for the late notice; but let me know if there are any you would like to accept.

Check with TSJI - he should be able to get you hooked up.

To whom do I send my featured five list?

Send it to me first since I still have admin access to the WFE, then to Kotovania thereafter once he gets instated as our delegate.

To all: I don't know who does this, but we need a welcoming telegram drafted so that I can put it in the admin section and new nations get a nice welcome when they join us.
