As part of the potential upcoming Accession, I have been working on a draft of Accession Honours that I will first be presenting for advice to my incoming Privy Council and also with the incumbent government. I have a few ideas about things going forward but I don't wish to act unilaterally so will be seeking advice.

On another note, I do think it is perhaps time to elevate the The Fulbright Fellow to the rank of Pursuivant. I'll have a chat with the Dean and The Fulbright Fellow in another thread.

I have no strong opinions either way.

Gotcha. I'm sure I'll sleep well. Thank you.

It's late here and I have tired teacher brain @Breneir Tzaracomprada so I'm having trouble figuring out if your mad at me for commenting or complimenting me lol.

Quote from: Miestră Schivă, UrN on September 12, 2024, 09:32:38 PMI hope you noticed that I also identified the problem of "ImmMin getting too much gatekeeping authority", which is why I included the option of an appeal to the SoS.

This appears to be one of those new tasks, Txec. @Sir Txec dal Nordselvă, UrB I assume this came up in discussions?

I missed that, but my day job gets in the way sometimes. I'm really trying to stay out of political discussions, and probably shouldn't even have commented before.

I don't see how this would be a difficult task, even though I have no personal idea how to even back up any part of Witt :-)

Quote from: Sir Txec dal Nordselvă, UrB on September 12, 2024, 11:35:30 AMAs the current Secretary of State, I would be remiss if I didn't publicly bemoan the addition of yet one more task to the already heavy workload of the SoS. Of all the offices in the Civil Service, surely there could be someone else tasked with this. Perhaps a requirement that the Archives has a deputy.

But this is a stopgap, incidental measure which could also be handled by your deputy. This is not a standing responsibility. Does that lessen your concern any?

The odds are not small that I won't be Secretary of State the next time this requirement could possibly come up. I'm simply pointing out that it does often seem the reflexive response is that the Chancery can handle something without anyone in the Chancery being asked, "is this a task that adds to your workload." A deputy could definitely handle this. It would just be nice if the department getting additional work, even minimal, is consulted.

You threw in an extra table between the top row of tartan and the lower row :-)

Never mind. It is above the post haha. Also, I fixed your table for you :-)

Maybe I'm doing something wrong, but I don't see voting buttons.

I didn't even know that!

It sounds fun but I know even less about hockey than I do about cycling haha.

As moderator of Witt I'd like to remind the participants in this thread of the purpose of this thread. Thanks.

I would be delighted to participate in the coronation in an active role.

It feels wonderful that the CoA I designed for you will be remembered and revered throughout Talossa for a long time.

SKA

Thank you BenArd! I had quite forgotten it was you who designed my original arms. I am excited for what the future holds.
