Për on all

Personally, I think that the members of the "nominating conclave" should also be very carefully chosen.  As opposed to a blanket over "everyone above 7 years," lets make that the floor to be considered.  Then membership in the body needs to be approved by 2/3 of each house of the Ziu.

I don't see what the point of this would be given that the Ziu would need to approve of the committee's nominee. The point of this provision was to ensure that whoever is chosen is approved by Talossa's "senior" citizens.

-Nominations are put forward by a committee composed of all Talossans who have been a citizen for longer than 7 years.

Is your idea that the committee as a whole (by majority vote or some other method) must approve of a nomination, or that any member of this committee could nominate someone?

I was thinking the whole committee (but only those who indicated they were present in some way) would vote to make a nomination.

OK, how about this as a starting point for discussion

-Nominations are put forward by a committee composed of all Talossans who have been a citizen for longer than 7 years.
-Nominations must be approved by 2/3 of both houses
-Confirmation in a referendum

Congratulations!

I've contacted him off Witt already so I'll do it.

Actually most do... for example https://www.rsc.org/membership-and-community/join/associate-member/#undefined

Yes, because they are more difficult to join than just writing an essay.

The current President is Ian T., but I'm gathering he would like to step down.

Azul,

It's been suggested that I offer some kind of math course here, and maybe I will. First I would need to know if people are interested at all, and what they are interested in.

Someone else can persuade Talossa to enter the twenty-first century and use metric measures (and UTC?) as very nearly every other country in the world does [aircraft hight being measured in feet is absurd – and that will, and must, change!]

This has in fact already been done (minus the UTC part)

In the absence of any more discussion, I think MM is ready to move forward

I should be available then.

I think the previous version used Google Hangouts. We could (like everyone else on Earth apparently) use Zoom instead, which is quite easy to use, but I think the free version caps meetings with more than three people to 40 minutes.

I am starting to think we are doing this all wrong.

What if we just added a section of the Organic Law that said:

QuoteThe King is [insert King's name here]. If he abdicates, renounces his citizenship, or dies, the Uppermost Cort shall form a Council of Regency.

Then selecting a new King (or replacing the current King with someone else) is akin to every other major change in Government; amending the OrgLaw.

AMP seat reassignments:

Breneir Itravilatx - 20
Cresti da Ion Nouacastra-Läxhirescu - 20
Jordan Placie - 6 (He's been busy lately, and he is certainly the easiest person for me to remind).
