There may have been some confusion as to when and how a Senator from Cezembre is to be elected. Here are links to the election rules for the 53rd - 55th Cosas in which in each election, a new Senator had to be elected. In the 53rd, it was 3 terms, in the 54th it was 2 terms and in the 55th it was 1 term.

Regarding Cezembre elections:

https://talossa.proboards.com/thread/13707/chancery-rules-registrations-december-2019?page=1&scrollTo=167637 54th Cosa election rules
https://wittenberg.talossa.com/index.php?topic=347.msg2077#msg2077 55th Cosa election rules

There have been 4 Senators elected/appointed and only one was elected to a full 3 year term - Thor Deyaert. Thor lost his seat due to not voting in the last 2 Clarks of his first Cosa term and so another election was called for the 54th where Amada Eleonora Merþedes was elected  but never seated to fill the remaining two Cosa terms. Sir X. Pol Briga took the seat after a few missed Clarks. In the 55th Ian Tamoran was elected to fill the final Cosa term.

Cezembre may choose to hold their own election concurrent with the 56th GE but this seat has to be filled via election and not via appointment.

Thanks for the clarification and details.

Cézembre, according to the administration guide, will not rely on the Chancery and will conduct the local election.

Also it is my understanding that a senator (our lord warden) was selected during the previous election 55 and thus would continue to serve until at least election 57?

Also to clarify, will the Senatorial election also be conducted by the province or will it fall to the Chancery?

I was appointed by the Regent to fulfill the vacancy for Lord Warden in the midst of session 54.  Then there was an election to officially fill the position in session 55, which I thought would then be a regular election -- but perhaps was just viewed by the Civil Service to officially fill the vacancy, rather than accept the determination of the Regent?   That election placed @Ián Tamorán as our Lord Warden, which is the Cézembrean term for Senator to the Ziu.

I will call a session l'Etats to discuss whether Cézembre should conduct yet another election for Lord Warden or just reappoint Ián Tamorán which was the intent of the most rescent election, should this remain unclear at the eyes of the Civil Service.

Cézembre, according to the administration guide, will not rely on the Chancery and will conduct the local election.

In regard to your consideration of http://www.talossa.ca/files/bills.php?cosa=55&bill=21

as it relates to the existing Organic Law
Article II: The King
Section 3

The King of Talossa is King John I, until his demise, abdication, or removal from the throne. Should the King at any time renounce or lose his citizenship, that renunciation or loss shall be deemed to imply his abdication of the Throne. Upon the demise, abdication, or removal from the Throne of the King, the Uppermost Cort shall be a Council of Regency. (54RZ28)

I was not aware that the King had abdicated, nor have I seen any formal process to remove him, only to remove this section of the Organic Law as a fait accompli - am I missing something?

It appears this session dissolved due to the variety of time constraints on the seated members.  4. and 5. will be taken up in a future session, along with further discussion of the first 3 topics.

just to show that i am alive and do care, but am also overwhelmed by the outside world (rhymes with "country for future" and "best in covid", not to mention a semester at full throttle).

i have no major comments to the proposals above except for:

ad 3) i would really consider if it would be an ID or passport, as miestra could be right and we cannot issue passports, if understood properly.

ad 5) unsurprisingly, as a former republican, i do not hold that tight on a king stuff, although as a peculiarist, i am not fundamentally against kingdom and suchs, but i have my reservations to the hereditary aspects. i would rather go for an elective king/queen as a head of state. i am from central europe, we used to elect kings and emperors, at least in the holy roman empire (and since approx XVIcc, estates also had to approve a new king in the kingdom of bohemian crown lands).

cézembre, kupředu pravá, zpátky ni krok!

Thanks for the note - it turned out I had a road trip from Dallas to Los Angeles with stops in New Mexico and Arizona on the way so I have been off the grid for a bit as well.

#3 are there any comments on prototype identify documents, such as the Cézembre Paßaphort/Passport/Passeport?

Hearing no applications we move on to item #2 Immigration.
There is one candidate in the queue Shvidenko Коnstantin https://wittenberg.talossa.com/index.php?topic=623.0
This is informational only as that process has not been completed at the level of the Kingdom, but if there is any discussion or questions those can be addressed either here or in that thread, and all are encouraged to communicate with the candidate.

l'Etats is in session - there were no additional items added to the agenda, but they still may be.

If no other items are added, let us begin discussion of #1 CLO are there any new homestead requests?

In that case, I believe @Antaglha Xhenerös Somelieir is the new Chair of the Council of Governors.

So will a session be called for said council?   Should such an entity rate a forum?

In support of this proposed legislation, I went to Children's Hospital in Denver today and donated a pint of whole blood.

Now that the Hopper is for the People has passed, I solicit a member of the Ziu to sponsor this bill.

@Txosuè Éiric Rôibeardescù
@Ián Tamorán
@X. Pol Briga
@Ián S.G. Txaglh

The third instance of this legislative session is called for 8-15 March 2021.  Hear Ye Hear Ye Hear Ye let all with business before l'Etats bring their business in detail to this thread. 

Some possible topics shall be:

1. Ongoing business of the CLO Cézembre Land Office

2. Welcoming of immigrants under Statute E.7.10

3. Potential identification documents (possibly last issued 2012)

4. Formation of a CBS Cézembre Bureau of Standards

5. General discussion of actions of the Ziu

It may also be appropriate to introduce the concept of Vote of Confidence into the affairs of l'Etats should there be a desire for change in direction or leadership independent of any different election timeframe of the Ziu.

Considering that the Kingdom's Ziu has exclusive jurisdiction over "immigration and emigration, naturalization and aliens" under OrgLaw VII.3.11, is this another sign that Cézembre is going to secede?

I suppose if it is a Kingdom then that is true.

While I was working in the middle east, i picked up a camoflage passport from a company advertised in the Economist as a safety precaution. Discussion at https://laughingsquid.com/camouflage-passports/
