I'll open the floor by saying that even though there is this nominal appointment, *there has been no change in practical terms* since we are dealing with other more important issues at the moment. For that (and his continuous support) I thank @Sir Txec dal Nordselvă, UrB, since he's been around with a helping hand while we deal with all of the hosting mess. I cannot say less of @Lüc. I promise you we're on to good things that will benefit our Kingdom.

I stand by my decision to separate the Web Registrant (technical role I take upon) and the Burgermaster (the best cook there is North of the Rio Bravo). I have heard there are concerns and have received that feedback as valuable information for risk management and mitigation. We'll deal that risk accordingly, even for worst case scenarios.

While I understand some problems have happened in the past due to contacts MIA (specifically for payments), that's not going to be of concern for us. As I've said elsewhere, I want to move some services out of our current provider, DoRoyal, in light of the current situation. By mere virtue of moving our domains away from them onto a better registrar, we'll be 1) saving some money as we're offered better rates, and we'll be 2) extending the expiration date of all domains until July 2024.

Now, I understand the Web Registrant can be a multi-year role. I'm really not concerned about the future, I'm here for the long term, and not only am I willing to serve for such long term, but the renewal or dealing with technical details will be at the entire disposal of whoever a future government (or SoS, or His Maj, or the aliens) decide to appoint in the future as Web Registrant. As stated, I have a mission here and my plan is to improve things and to leave them in better shape on my departure.

Reposting as it was eaten up by the void.

I'll be here all day to answer any questions, of which I've heard there's more than one.

With many thanks to Dr. Txec dal Nordselva for his continuous, generous and reliable service as the Talossan Web Registrant, I hereby relieve him of those duties and simultaneously instruct myself, Danihel Txechescu, to occupy that same chair and desk.

I'm thankful and feel unworthy of such distinguished honor. I'm just the new guy here trying to learn the ropes from those that have weathered many storms.

Don't. I'm going to vote for you (if I get to that).

I'd like to have a nomination, please, to go.

I'd like to have a seat, please, for here.

WHEREAS it has been more than a fortnight since Orlando Alas [@aorlando14] first posted on Wittenberg, following his introduction to the citizens of the Kingdom by officers of the Immigration Ministry, and

WHEREAS he has, in that time, demonstrated an active, genuine, and continuing interest in Talossan life, culture, and language, and

WHEREAS he desires citizenship in the Kingdom of Talossa, and

WHEREAS by all indications it appears that he would be a loyal and dedicated citizen, and a credit to this nation if he obtains the grant of citizenship he requests, and

WHEREAS he will certainly spice up and enrich our Talossan culture,

THEREFORE I, Danihel Txechescu, a citizen in good standing of the Province of Maricopa and of the Kingdom of Talossa, do by the present petition the Secretary of State @Sir Txec dal Nordselvă to issue a grant of citizenship to Orlando Alas, as specified by law.

Same here. I could spend days and nights on a single Civilization game.

I believe that's UTC-0600.

How long are you expecting that to take? Google Meet is free for up to 100 participants and for up to 60 minutes. It can be created instantaneously or scheduled.

If more than 60 minutes are required I can ask at work if usage would be permitted as per company policy, for unlimited time. That was the case during the pandemic.

Speaking of which, we met via Google Meet or Jitsi back then in "La Curantaina".

Yeah, merge Maricopa and Fiova lol.

Ño.

Quote from: Dr. Txec dal Nordselvă, GST on October 31, 2022, 11:51:10 PMI'm having difficulty figuring out which province to assign our soon to be newest citizen. Mexico is not specifically listed and while it's possible thr country is in Central America, there is listed continental Central America and insular Central America. My first inclination is Maricopa. Thoughts?

Some people say the Southern part of Mexico (past the Isthmus of Tehuantepec) belongs in Central America, but Mexico is in North America. Because of Mexico being Mexico, or maybe because of our State (Nuevo León) being so interrelated to Texas, I was assigned to Maricopa. In any case, I do feel Alejandro belongs in Maricopa, and that Bråneu should move North to the right province where he can organize all the poker tournaments our nation needs.

WHEREAS it has been more than a fortnight since Alejandro Aguirre [@alec_aguirre] first posted on Wittenberg, following his introduction to the citizens of the Kingdom by officers of the Immigration Ministry, and

WHEREAS he has, in that time, demonstrated an active, genuine, and continuing interest in Talossan life, culture, and language, and

WHEREAS he desires citizenship in the Kingdom of Talossa, and

WHEREAS by all indications it appears that he would be a loyal and dedicated citizen, and a credit to this nation if he obtains the grant of citizenship he requests, and

WHEREAS luck would have it, he is from the industrial, courageous and enterprising city of Monterrey, and gaining Talossan citizenship would complete his circle of luck, now

THEREFORE I, Danihel Txechescu, a citizen in good standing of the Province of Maricopa and of the Kingdom of Talossa, do by the present petition the Secretary of State @Dr. Txec Róibeard dal Nordselvă, Esq., O.SPM, SMM to issue a grant of citizenship to Alejandro Aguirre, as specified by law.

I subscribe on the appreciation for all the diligent work @Dr. Txec dal Nordselvă, GST does around here.
