Happy birthday!

So after a period of review, I believe that some of the initiatives proposed by the Commission are being implemented, however, the one that I believe will lead to a better outcome with immigration is that of the Talossa Assistant. We have a good influx of applicants, but not that many stick around during the entire immigration process. How can we "encourage" this initiative? Perhaps we can require new-ish citizens to join the program as part of their introduction into Talossan society and, as recent immigrants themselves, they will be in a good position to assist? Ideas?

What other proposals should we consider putting before the Ziu or the people?

When I suggested the category (I may not have been the only one - I don't remember) I had just listened to this song from when I was a kid and it got me thinking: (this is not the exact version I remember but it's close)

Quote from: Mic'haglh Autófil, O.Be on September 04, 2025, 11:10:45 AMAugust ended without action by anyone vested with royal authority. Under the precedent set during the years of King John that Organic amendments fall under the same conditions as regular bills regarding royal inaction, I hold that this bill has passed into law.

Because Article VII of the Belacostan Constitution does not require referenda for constitutional amendments, it therefore takes effect immediately.

My apologies on this. I was waiting on my Cunstaval but I also didn't circle back to double check.

Quote from: Marcel Eðo Pairescu Tafial, UrGP on August 24, 2025, 06:57:15 PMRight, I was more so saying that there was some grumbling when someone with 7 posts in two weeks were let in, but no outward rejection. I don't remember anyone ever testing the lower limit any further because usually, people who didnt post enough would just not get petitioned for, and that would be the end of it.

Lack of engagement would make sense as an explanation, though from my perspective that's not really anything new.

That is more or less my point. Lack of engagement should be enough to not get a petition. Merely having a pulse shouldn't be enough.

I've always felt one or two posts does not show genuine interest in Talossa and we should not be petitioning for immigrants who do this. Stating they show a real and active interest in Talossa in a petition to the Chancery is not genuine and makes me wonder why we would want to inflate our citizenship rolls with someone who will likely not participate and will eventually just strike out. Is it for new voters or is it genuine? I wonder.

This immigrant made two posts total. One was in reply to asking if they were still interested, so essentially only one post was made of their own initiative. Do we seriously believe, as stated in the petition, that this immigrant has "demonstrated an active, genuine, and continuing interest in Talossan life, language and culture?" I think not.

I apologize to the members of the commission for not following up sooner. The start of the new school year has been very pressing on my free time. I hope to spend some time this weekend working on this.
