As potential opponents would have raised their voice already, I agree we can consider your proposal as adopted. I wish a lot of success to the Foreign Information Office Beach Umbrellas !

The proposals for postings still need assent of the Crown, and they need to begin colleting information. If Royal approval is forthcoming we could still await full time for consideration by l'Etats.  If opposition would suddenly emerge, then the information offices could be located elsewhere, or the proposal could be modified and resubmitted.

The crown has accepted 2 postings, thus it would be good to get any feedback from any interested within l'Etats in the next day should they object to beach umbrellas appearing.  I suppose it would be useful to have a sub-board here under the CZ for foreign information offices.

Maybe something can be done via Radio Garden?  I noticed that Marquette University plus 9 other stations broadcast out of a point in the GTA https://radio.garden/listen/marquette-university-radio/G85W0BfY#google_vignette

Information Liaisons will only pursue one entity at a time until their SWOT analysis and report is approved.
Thus far that list includes

@Breneir Tzaracomprada as Information Liaison for Asgardia

@Mximo Malt as Information Liaison for the Republic of Slowjamistan

Position Summary
An Information Liaison serves as an independent investigator and collector of information about an external entity (such as a micronation, community, organization, or group). The Information Liaison's primary responsibility is to research, monitor, and report accurate and relevant information back to the Talossan Government to support internal decision-making, potential future engagement, or understanding of the entity's culture, structure, activities, and relevance. Unlike ambassadors or consuls, an Information Liaison does not represent Talossa in official diplomatic functions, negotiate agreements, or act as a legal representative of Talossan interests.


The following external entities have made contact with the Kingdom, if there are others who have have interest in developing a report:

Cultural Republic of Auralis

Principality of New Rome

Socialist, Democratic, Popular Republic of Saint Précheux le Marais

I should have started this a fortnite ago to give time for consideration.

If it isn't too late go ahead and donate mine as well

Thanks for your contribution Tric'hard. I think there's some Patriotic points system on place.  Although the Patriots didn't score enough points to win.

Updated table HERE

The first two Information Liaisons should discuss together the basic information to gather, as well at the SWOT analysis which may suggest no action or future action in each case.  These initial investigations may arrive at a report format for ongoing inquiries. Once an inquiry is completed and a report submitted and accepted, then an information liaison may be released, possibly to take up gathering information on another entity.   Others who wish to become an Information Liaison for other listed entities, or other entities that they may suggest to be added, are invited to apply.

for context, that was the detailed job description agreed to by each individual.

Information Liaison

Civil service role supporting Talossan government efforts to research other entities without acting in a formal diplomatic capacity

Position Summary
An Information Liaison serves as an independent investigator and collector of information about an external entity (such as a micronation, community, organization, or group). The Information Liaison's primary responsibility is to research, monitor, and report accurate and relevant information back to the Talossan Government to support internal decision-making, potential future engagement, or understanding of the entity's culture, structure, activities, and relevance. Unlike ambassadors or consuls, an Information Liaison does not represent Talossa in official diplomatic functions, negotiate agreements, or act as a legal representative of Talossan interests.

Key Responsibilities
Conduct research and information gathering on designated entities, including their organization, leadership, practices, public presence, platforms, and relevant developments.

Compile written reports summarizing findings, trends, risks, opportunities, and notable facts for delivery to the appropriate Talossan ministry or department.

Maintain an up-to-date information file on assigned entity/entities, including reliable sources, contacts, and background materials.

Monitor public communications (websites, forums, publications, social media, events) related to the entity and flag significant changes or opportunities.

Provide contextual analysis of collected information to help Talossa officials understand external groups' structures, relevance, or potential for engagement.

Work independently and impartially without acting as an official envoy, ambassador, or spokesperson for Talossa.

Respect privacy, public forums, and ethical standards in all research activities.

Scope & Limits
This role is not a diplomatic posting and does not confer ambassadorial status, diplomatic privileges, or authority to negotiate on behalf of Talossa.

The Information Liaison is not authorized to enter formal agreements, sign treaties, or publicly represent Talossan government positions.

Liaison activities are limited to information collection, analysis, and reporting.

Qualifications:

Strong research and analytical skills, with ability to find, verify, and synthesize information from multiple sources.

Excellent written communication and report drafting abilities.

Familiarity with online research tools, open-source intelligence techniques, or community observation practices is a plus.

Comfortable operating independently and engaging respectfully with public information sources.

Basic understanding of Talossan law, culture, and government structure

Quote from: Baron Alexandreu Davinescu on February 07, 2026, 09:57:57 PMSure -- the role of information liaison was very carefully designed so that it was not "a position representing their fellow citizens or wielding government authority."  Such a liaison is gathering information, but is specifically not empowered to represent the Kingdom of Talossa and has no power to make any decisions.  There is no current prospect of the Information Liaison for Asgardia being placed in a position of power or serving as a representative of the Kingdom of Talossa.

So it's not actually "all postings" as the original policy states then, got it.

Yes, as in many instances in life there are logical adjustments made.

Looks like this didn't get any traction so I'll just refund the amounts paid in other than me as I'll just donate my $12.

I should have started this a fortnite ago to give time for consideration.

@King Txec

The Foreign Ministry proposes the following postings for your consideration:

@Antaglha Xhenerös Somelieir to Permanent Secretary of Humanitarian Aid    (Announcement)

@þerxh Sant-Enogat as Ambassador to France

@Breneir Tzaracomprada as Information Liaison for Asgardia

@Mximo Malt as Information Liaison for the Republic of Slowjamistan

I stand ready to respond to any inquiries you may have regarding these recommended appointments.

@þerxh, as Sénéchal de Cézembre and with the discussion and poll above, do you consider that l'Etats approves of Foreign Information Office Beach Umbrellas within Zone Autorisée?

So far it is 3 Per, 1 Astaneu and none against.  Not sure if I can interpret that as accepted by l'Etats as I don't yet have more then 50% Per.

I would like to be able to direct Information Liaisons to establish information offices on Cézembre in Zone Autorisée, similar to how homesteads can be establised in Zone Interdite.

Do you have a specific entity from THIS LIST  you would like to pursue first, or something not listed yet?  The concept is to pursue one at a time.

Probably Slowjamastan
