The investiture should only be held under a full moon during Milwaukee's SummerFest.  Talossan tradition demands this.

No need for sequential numbering on investitures is what I think is being requested.

The question is how we get people involved more in debating bills (especially since the CRL isn't functioning, est. Mençéi :D ). The Regent says he just stopped responding to the first version of the Repatriation Bill because I stopped responding to him, and other people only discovered massive issues with it once it was Clarked. I've had other ideas on how to make sure bills are properly debated before - including a "multiple reading" system, or a system where the Cosă and Senäts vote separately - but no-one has ever been enthusiastic about them, and we still get under-debated bills with errors.

We need more than one Hopper: one month in the '1st reading', one month in the 'second', and one month in the third.  Or just two weeks and a 1/3 Cosâ requirement (independent of the Clark) for advancement to each of the 2nd and 3rd readings...

I remind everyone voting on this amendment to the 2017 Organic Law merely puts the question to a direct referendum of the people and does not actually enact the provisions.  We are merely asking the people to decide.

Let it never be said four and only four Senators thwarted the will of the people on this matter.  We must be able to periodically choose - or throw out - our elected Head of State who has in their purview the weight of Talossan culture and history as well as carries the power of legislative veto and is the chief of all heraldic and honorial matters in the Kingdom.

Voting Për on 55RZ21 does not depose John Woolley from the throne.  I suspect the Convocation will elect him for another seven years.

Për on all bills.

What if... we made a rule that every bill in the Hopper at the end of the month will get Clarked unless its sponsor(s) ask for it not to be? If everything in here could possibly be up for a vote in the next month, maybe people would take bills more seriously, and not just assume that if it's not being talked about it's on the trash bin.

The need for someone to physically come into the forum and specifically request a bill be clarked is an important one.  It puts the final onus of error-checking and purpose on the bill-writer(s) and leaves the SoS free of the prospect of "I wasn't finished with my bill yet.  Why did you Clark it?".

I am happy to serve.  :-)

Thanks.  :-)

We're short on time, and I decided to take this gig myself this time.

If there are threads for provincial elections, please include links to those.  I would also include information on coming elections for all Senators, whenever they may be. 

Nitpicks in a bunch of beautiful work, Dr. Nordselva...

The Secretary of State is in quick need of a Mençéi Election Commission appointment.  To satisfy that legality as soon as possible and after receiving an assurance from the SoS it is legal for me to do so, I hereby appoint myself. 

Many apologies for not thinking of this sooner, as I would have liked someone else in that post, though at this point I have no wish to give the SoS a new person for that role at this late date.  Unless there is a huge legal objection to same... 

Açavat, I think you were our EC person last time.  You will (hopefully) get the nod next time, but I had to made an executive decision for the SoS quick.

Thanks, all!

Happy Easter, Passover, and springtime to all!  In many places (at least in the U. S.), things are starting to wake up agan.  No matter what happens, though, this is still God's world.

Many thanks as always to all of you for serving as Senators, in the Ziu, and for serving the people of Talossa.  We cannot take each other and the continued existence of Talossa for granted.  May God grant that Talossa survives into the age to come.

No, ProBoards is not taking down talossa.proboards.com any time soon, but its CEO did put out a call for contributions/donations, which tells me things may be more dire with ProBoards than they are letting on, imho.

The message may be had via https://www.proboards.com/contribute

I am making a tiny monthly donation, and I encourage all Talossans to do their part to make our Witt XI legacy voice heard with the ProBoards staff.  That service has been free for all for almost twenty years, but those halcyon days could be coming to an end, imho.
