I thank the Seneschal for the rapid replacement and welcome @C.d.I. Nouacastra-Läxhirescu, MSC as this administration's second defence minister. As a courtesy, I notify the incoming minister that I will inquire as to initial actions and changes in mandate in two weeks, to give the new incumbent time to acquaint themselves.

Tuischac'h,

This terpelaziun is for the new Defence Minister. Please update the Ziu on your early progress as the new minister and describe any changes, if any, to your mandate.

The Nonpartisan SOS Entrenchment Act

Whereas, the Secretary of State (SOS) position is one of the most prestigious in Talossa bestowed with great power and responsibility, and

Whereas, the SOS position is by norm, tradition and, based on the first whereas clause, necessity considered nonpartisan, and

Whereas, the current SOS acts as party leader for the Free Democrats, and

Whereas, this situation is in direct conflict with the norm that the SOS is nonpartisan and could create a potentially dangerous precedent for future SOSs who may not be as honorable and morally upright as the incumbent, and

Whereas, this measure to address this precedent is not an effort to impugn the character, stain the honor and good work of the current SOS, or officially accuse the SOS of a crime and therefore not a bill of attainder, and

Whereas, to demonstrate this, the proposed measure addressing this precedent will only take effect upon the end of the current SOS term.

Therefore, be it resolved, that upon the resignation, dismissal, or death of the incumbent Secretary of State, Dr. Txec dal Nordselva, the following amendment shall be made to section 5 of Title C, so as to read:

Quote5. The Secretary of State shall hold no seat in the Ziu. The Secretary of State shall hold no position of leadership in a political party or other partisan organization.

Mr. Túischac'h:

This terpelaziun is for the STUFF Minister. As we approach the midpoint of this Administration I note there have been only 3 or 4 posts on our Twitter account with the last post being three weeks ago. Please update the Ziu on plans to better use social media to promote the Kingdom.

Honorable Tuischac'h,

This terpelaziun is for the Foreign Minister. You have noted that attending MicroCon was a part of your mandate you were unable to complete. As to other components, please update the Ziu on progress concerning the return to actively appointing ambassadors, including the design of letters of accreditation and the setting up of a Landing Pier on Wittenberg.

Honorable Tuischac'h,

This terpelaziun is for the Technology Minister. Please update the Ziu on any plans and/or progress concerning the prioritization of upgrading and/or replacing the Talossa Database System.
#167
Honorable Tuischac'h,

This terpelaziun is for the Finance Minister and I direct him to the follow snapshot of Talossa.com concerning the Patriot Points program:



I note the last updates to the program appear to be from 30 March 2021 which is just over 14 months ago so this is not only on this administration but there have been contributions by voluntary tax within that time period.

Please update the Ziu on any progress to restore the "Patriot Points" program, accurately reflect the history of contributions, and to encourage voluntary taxation and citizen purchases of Talossan coins and stamps.

Honorable Tuischac'h,

The Minister of Defense has made this declaration:

QuoteThe Honours System will be posted in the Defence Section for review on August 1st along with the Ranks. I will have the spelling corrections completed and ready for the Ziu in a month from today, if not before. The Request for Arms is almost finished and will be submitted this week. And lastly, the Captain will have a rank structure and org table for approval by August 1.

If any of these projects are not completed by the promised time, the Honorable Minister will be dismissed and replaced immediately.

Ian Plätschisch,
Seneschal

Honorable Tuischac'h,

This terpelaziun is for the Seneschal. Now that we are past the 1 August 2022 date of completion for some of the tasks the Minister of Defence referenced I seek an update on the status of the Minister of Defence. Further, an update on the tasks mentioned in your reply.

Whereas, the Kingdom of Talossa has long claimed a mythical and/or mystical Berber connection, and

Whereas, the Kingdom can honor this connection by supporting the right to self-determination of Berber peoples such as the Sahrawi of Western Sahara, and

Whereas, Western Sahara has been under military occupation by the Kingdom of Morocco for nearly five decades.

Therefore, be it resolved that it is the Sense of the Ziu of the Kingdom of Talossa:

To call on the Kingdom of Morocco to negotiate and finalize under UN auspices the end of its occupation of Western Sahara, and

To honor its mystical Berber connection, beyond the mere espousing of it, by raising awareness of the Western Sahara struggle in Talossa and beyond.

Sad Star Trek-related news. Nichelle Nichols who played Lt. Uhura has passed on at age 89.
During her tenure on the original series she had considered leaving the role. Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr. himself encouraged her to stay.
May she rest in peace.

Sense of the Ziu: Procrastination and a Period of Consequences

Whereas, the British prime minister, Winston Churchill, once stated that "the era of procrastination, of half-measures, of soothing and baffling expedients, of delays is coming to its close. In its place we are entering a period of consequences," and

Whereas, this quote well-encapsulates humanity's current predicament in relation to anthropogenic climate change, and

Whereas, in 2022 alone, 25 nations have experienced their hottest summers ever and the past seven years each have been the hottest years in succession, and

Whereas, leading contributors of atmospheric warming emissions (People's Republic of China, United States of America, and Republic of India) have lagged in fidelity to their commitments based on the Kyoto and Paris Accords.

Therefore, may it be resolved that it is the Sense of the Ziu of the Kingdom of Talossa:

To declare a climate emergency, and

Based on this declaration state its assessment that anthropogenic climate change is an issue touching not just on scientific and political scopes but also on moral and bioethical scopes, and

To encourage Talossans around the world to make meaningful changes in their personal lives to limit their individual and family contributions to climate change, and

To encourage nations which are leading contributors to climate change to meet their previously-agreed treaty-based commitments.

Wittenberg / [FORA TALOSSA] Casting Call!
July 27, 2022, 07:56:22 AM
Fora Talossa is looking for additional beautiful faces and exciting voices to vlog on Talossa's only online television channel and most active media outlet.

Here are some areas where we are fielding interested contributors:

AMAs or (Ask Me Anything). We would like to host a video series with well-known Talossans opening themselves up to interesting and varied discussions based on questions from the Fora Talossa audience. La Menseasca is our current show in this format.

This Month in Talossan History. Either armchair historians or historical figures themselves. We would like to foster discussions in interview format on Talossan history.

Tastes of Talossa. As seen in the example from the Java King himself, Braneu Excelsio, we would like to host videos either about food and cuisine or with hosts cooking or baking directly.

Somaliland Recognition Act

Whereas the international community currently only recognizes Somaliland as an autonomous region of Northern Somalia, and

Whereas Somaliland has possessed its own distinct culture and heritage since the 1800s, and

Whereas in 1991 Somalilanders took a stand against the murderous rule of military dictator, Siad Barre, and declared their independence, and

Whereas since this time in contrast to Somalia the Somaliland government has drafted an enduring constitutional democracy and maintained societal stability, and

Whereas the democratic features of Somaliland governance have been observed by the international organizations including the European Union, and

Whereas, this present Act follows on the precedent of 28RZ28, An Act to Officially Recognize Taiwan, then co-sponsored by current sitting Fiova senator Gödafrïeu Válcadác'h.

Therefore, be it resolved that the Kingdom of Talossa officially recognizes Somaliland, to be referred to in official documentation as the Republic of Somaliland, and

Be it further resolved, that the Kingdom of Talossa encourages all nations of the world to initiate diplomatic and economic relations with Somaliland.

You want me to stay, I'll stay... but I'm 40 goddamn years old with a Masters Degree. I don't have anymore time in my life to argue with children! If I want to argue with kids, I have a 8 & 9 year old at home.

Davinescu

Edited to add tag @Dr. Txec Róibeard dal Nordselvă, Esq., O.SPM, SMM Mr. Secretary, I assume you will be charitable in your requests for decorum with your own party members? Coming from another 40-something with a Masters degree.
