Quote from: Miestră Schivă, UrN on November 10, 2024, 02:11:51 PMI will jump in here to exercise my right as Seneschal to answer Terpelaziuns on behalf of absent ministers.

I think the answer to the Member's question is "no updates".

I thank the Seneschal for confirming the unfortunate absence of the Foreign Affairs minister and that there are no updates. I will follow up next month.

Quote from: Bråneu Excelsio on November 10, 2024, 02:03:14 PMThe Ministry of Defence held discussions with the Heir Presumptive to discuss a possible new Captain of the Zouaves. The Minister has made a decision and respects the timing for the Heir Presumptive to make the official appointment at the right time.

I thank the Minister for his reply.

Túischac'h, @þerxh Sant-Enogat

I would like to direct your attention to the following sections of El Lexhatx (emphasis added by me):

QuoteH.1.2.4. Any PQ or Terp that is submitted by a MC or Senator in accordance with the provisions of H.1.2., must be answered by the named Minister within seven (7) days of the question being tabled...

and

QuoteH.1.2.7. Failure to answer a question within the given timeframe shall constitute an offence, and a Minister, if found guilty of such an offence, will be subject to a punishment at the discretion of the Courts.

I would request a determination from you concerning whether the Minister is in violation of H.1.2.4. and an encouragement tha the Government answer a lawfully filed enquiry.

I thank the Member for this question. If he will allow me to answer in two parts:

The first priority is the re-nationalization of the nation's web presence. I am still waiting for the Permanent Secretary of Backend Admin to give final agreement, but the plan at this point looks like this:
* At the moment, the PermSec is overseeing server hosting using a service called Digital Ocean; we have a "droplet" (a piece of server space) with DO under the PermSec's name.
* The PermSec will create a separate DO account to be controlled and funded by the Government. (I will ensure that he works with the Burgermeister to set up relevant payment information.)
* Once this account and a nationally-run "droplet" is set up, our web presence will be migrated to it, completing this process and achieving the goal set out at the beginning of the term.

Overall, a fairly straightforward process, I am simply waiting to make sure that everyone agrees on what the plan is so that we can implement it.

Regarding the new database possibilities:

* I am similarly waiting on some final feedback from the Deputy Minister regarding his suggestion of a possible solution, but from what I understand it will be a good fit for our needs. (I anticipate that the last few weeks have been a bit busy for him, what with setting up the Heir Presumptive referendum and whatnot.)
* However, this does not mean that I will not honor my commitment for a public review of the suggested solutions. I would look for this sometime within the next two weeks; sooner, if we can get the server transition done quickly.

I thank the Minister for his reply and will follow up next month regarding this comprehensive overview of the current state of affairs.

Quote from: Sir Lüc on November 08, 2024, 03:05:40 PMEstimat Túischac'h, the Deputy Finance Minister is S:reu Ian Plätschisch, as announced in a separate thread here on Wittenberg. The appointment was made with the main purpose of serving as an US based signatory to the Treasury's accounts; I would assume he is likely to step up to be the next Finance Minister, but as the Leader of the Opposition probably knows, I am not in charge of appointing my successor. As for the expected income statement, the figure I was using as a ballpark estimate was about 80¤00 (120$), which I would have revised before making the statement based off any Q3 financial reporting that was made available to the Treasury for wider publication. I simply never got around to asking the Treasury for such a report.

I thank the Minister for his reply and acknowledge awareness of who appoints his successor but assume the Finance Minister would know or play some part in recommending his successor upon assuming another position.

Túischac'h, I have a simple supplementary question in reference to this part of that reply:

QuoteAs for the expected income statement, the figure I was using as a ballpark estimate was about 80¤00 (120$), which I would have revised before making the statement based off any Q3 financial reporting that was made available to the Treasury for wider publication. I simply never got around to asking the Treasury for such a report.

When will this income statement be officially delivered?

Quote from: Mic'haglh Autófil, SMC EiP on November 03, 2024, 05:47:50 PMAs Deputy Minister, I may be able to assist here. (And I thank the Member for this question.) The Permanent Secretary of Backend Administration is currently working through an authentication problem on our webmail accounts, but I anticipate it will be resolved shortly.

I thank the Deputy Minister for his reply and for his work on the issue. If you could please inform the Ziu once a resolution is reached.

Quote from: Miestră Schivă, UrN on November 03, 2024, 01:48:01 PMI thank the member for his question. The Chancery has given me no updates in this regard. I've taken this prompt to remind them.

I thank the Seneschal for sending a reminder.

Quote from: Miestră Schivă, UrN on November 03, 2024, 02:13:41 PMI thank the member for his question. The Government is certainly aware that the immigration pipeline has closed off altogether since the rush from the Argentinian YouTuber ended, and this is an issue which has concerned me in particular. One suggestion I keep raising is for a Landing Pier on Wittenberg, open to "interested parties" (on pain of ruthless moderation) who might not be ready for citizenship yet - the technical people in the back room have got it on their to-do list down the line.

We know from previous Governments that Google Ads are a waste of money and we are not aware of any other means of paid promotion - so we would have to rely on what they call "earned media". The best means towards that is our social media outreach, which has unfortunately been hampered due to the respective Minister's extra-Talossan commitments. But this is, at the moment, our Government's "best bet" on the issue.

I thank the Seneschal for her reply and reiterate my own concern about our social media outreach while definitely sympathizing with extra-Talossan commitments (particularly those connected to professional obligations). I will seek updates from the STUFF Ministry concerning what plans to achieve a balance. I have a separate enquiry out to the Foreign Affairs Minister as I think the Landing Pier is a good idea.

Quote from: Miestră Schivă, UrN on November 03, 2024, 02:14:37 PMI thank the Member for his question. This project has taken a back seat as SIGN has recently prioritised the Essay Contest. Speaking of which, we should do something to spark more interest in that. I wonder if the Member would like to contribute an entry?

I thank the Seneschal for her reply and invitation. While I fully support the essay contest and encourage others to participate, languages are not my forte, and I prefer to honour it by not butchering it. With respect to cultural endeavors I would invite the Seneschal and other members of the Government to send recipes my way for the Talossan Book of Cuisine or to participate in the Talossa Talks program that the incoming king is considering.
