The Hopper / Re: CRL Committee for the 57th Cosa

There are no other logistical problems with the bill, so it seems good to go.
Welcome to Wittenberg!

It's okay! Things happen, and it's entirely understandable if you miss something. But that means you should probably give others the same benefit of the doubt, right?Your flexible memory aside, I proposed a compromise between the two bills, Dama. It remains the last post on the thread, since you ignored it.
... actually, I never saw it. My apologies - I have been rather unwell for the last month and only checking Witt once a day, which means some things fall off the "latest 59" post.
I am happy to make that amendment you suggest.
Would you be open to just having Republic Day on the day of Reunision, and no Reunision Day at all, and getting basically 100% of the Cosa behind this? I really don't want to endorse the narrative that Reunision was the defeat of the Republic, and this alternative would specifically celebrate its history and heritage but not the unfortunate schism that separated so many for so long.
What precisely is happening here?
You submitted your bill to the CRL, and Dama Miestra submitted her bill. ESB asked to confirm that they were really very similar, and that has led into a discussion where I'm trying to hammer out a compromise that might be agreeable to both of you.
It is not acceptable to me. By submitting the original to the CRL and then clarking it...I thought that was clear.

That's exactly right. I suggested this amendment to the former bill and I was simply ignored. So I thought, what the hell.There already is a Democracy Day. It commemorates the start of democracy in the country. So that is a serious flaw in the bill that will need to be fixed.
I should also point out that - if present political positions hold - the former bill will not pass, while mine has a good chance to.
Did the Government have something like this in mind?As a note to the above, I will add too that fine-paper versions of the Talossan grants above will be formally sealed and signed by me and sent to those individuals who indicated to my former regent that they wished for them. Here is a picture of an example, pre-signature.

I had forgotten this was posted, but in terms of issuing titles, that is a start, although, in the design for such a thing, perhaps also, including the coat of arms of the monarch at the top, and where appropriate, the CoA of the person getting the title, with the updated arms reflecting their title, also, the seal of the realm should be included too, to make the design feel more Talossan, authentic, and personal to the individual. Also, having a slightly different design for each rank would also be an idea.
The same could also be done with awards from the Ziu.
The Culture department is also thinking of other things that could be designed, and will post such ideas here when we have them, as i had said in an earlier post, this is intended as a collaboration project with the Min Culture and the College of Arms.
[li$i] Creating physical items of Talossanity: 33¤20 ($50)
[/li][/list]
Sorry I'm only seeing this now, but a question: to what does this refer? As far as I can tell, this could refer to just about any physical object
Hi, the Senechal has asked myself to respond to this, with this, it refers to costs of making physical trappings of monarchy, as per the coalition agreement, and is something have approached the CoA in designs for, but yes, this is for costs pertaining to making such items. What these are and final costs are not known yet, as those plans are in early stages, so we are reserving a sum in the budget for such a time where we are in a position to make physical items that we come up with. I know this is still vague, but the concepts are still in early stages.[/list]
[li$i] Webhosting costs: 86¤42 ($130.05)[/li][/list]
Could you break this down, please? It seems very high.
The Seneschál has asked me to field this question. A yearly renewal for our webhosting on GoDaddy is due in July, which is $US64.20. The Government also decided to renew the domain names talossa.com ($15.95) and talossa.net ($18.95). We were originally going to let the other domain names expire, but firstly we were told that talossan.com would be updated, so that's another $15.95. Plus, a check of El Lexhatx D.2.9.2. suggests that we are legally required to hold onto kingdomoftalossa.net ($15.95).
The domain names, which I seem to recall the opposition were opposed to the Government relinquishing, all add up. And this is without renewing kingdomoftalossa.com and *.org.

WHEREAS there is a large legal loophole that would permit virtually any crime, including very serious crimes such as threats of sexual assault, theft, bribery, or anything else, and
WHEREAS the problem lies with the fact that we're offering unlimited and unqualified sanctuary under terms which clearly reference the medieval Christian practice of offering church protection from secular law, thereby allowing anyone to claim the right of sanctuary if accused of crimes, and
WHEREAS it's hard to find any other way to interpret this bit of the law so that it makes sense, and so therefore this reading probably is going to be a valid one, or at the very least would be an incredible complication that might make it impossible to prosecute someone, and
WHEREAS no one has yet taken advantage of it, but there's no reason to think that will last forever,
THEREFORE the tenth section of Title A of el Lexhatx, which currently readsQuote10. The Ziu hereby recognizes the historic right of churches and other religious organizations to offer sanctuary to individuals in dire need.
is hereby stricken in its entirety.
FURTHERMORE, the words "Except as provided in A.17," shall be struck from section 16.
FURTHERMORE, the Scribe is directed to renumber Title A in a sensible fashion.

WHEREAS currently the entire status of much of our legal system is possibly itself illegal, since the Ziu's ennumerated powers do not include any power to write criminal laws at all, nor to regulate any aspect of the legal system, meaning that most of Titles A & J are very much in doubt if challenged in cort, and
WHEREAS this means that anyone in cort can very reasonably ask under what authority the Ziu purports to organically restrict their behavior, when all such power seems reserved to the provinces under the letter of the law, and can also ask how the Ziu gets to set any standards for the bar or other things,
THEREFORE the third section of Article VII of the 1997 Organic Law shall be amended to include these additional provisions:Quote20. Criminal justice designed to protect the personal and property rights of citizens.
21. Administrative matters incidental to the functioning of the justice system.

... I hesitate to step on the Seneschal's toes, but in fact social media posting resumed two days ago. It's thought provoking that neither the Seneschál nor the Opposition noticed!
