Can I ask for clarification as to which people necessary for the ceremony have and have not confirmed their involvement?

I need to hear from The King, the Seneschal, the Dep Leader of the Opposition for the event itself and S:reu Rôibeardescù for the technical stuff.

For example, I didnt know the King was busy with work right now. When isnt he, and how about the others?

The issue for me is that I can't schedule if I don't know on which days and times everyone is available. The whole event would be rather pointless if one or more of the people involved couldn't show up.

It's true that I haven't had contact with S:reu Rôibeardescù since, but as I see it, without knowing when the event even is (or can be), I didnt have anything to contact him about.

No scheduling has happened yet. The relevant parties are seemingly refusing to get back to me.

Thank you, D:nă Schivă.

Members are now free until August 21th to give their speech on RZ2 in any order they like, though I would prefer it if a member of the Opposition spoke next.

But when is the best time to *have* the event? I need to know what everyone's schedule looks like to pick a date that isnt extremely awkward for one or more people involved.

Esteemed members of the Cosă, please come to order.

I hereby close the debate on RZ1 and open the debate on RZ2, The Talossan Criminal Law Reform Bill #1. The debate is scheduled to end on August 21.

First up is the Right Honourable @Miestră Schivă, UrN for the Free Democrats.

Any updates?

Surely no-one is allowed into the Cosa apart from members of the Cosa? And you have moderator power over this forum for this precise purpose?

Firstly, the legislation regarding Living Cosăs, which I am informally basing this procedure on, allows Senators to participate in debates if they so choose. A lot of this is terra incognita, for better or worse.

Secondly, I don't have moderator powers over the Cosă board, though this is an oversight on my part. I will fix that right away.

Let's just say that I'll allow this particular intrusion as a gesture of goodwill on my part. But I will take the appropriate measures should this situation repeat itself in the future. I hope this settles it, and that we can continue with the debate on 56RZ1.

To my knowledge there's nothing in the books that says the King isn't allowed into the Ziu, or what my powers would be if he werent allowed, so I've decided to allow it for now until the legality of the action has been cleared up, but I appreciate the move to discuss the content of your speech and His Majesty's response to it outside of this chamber regardless.

Thank you, D:nă Schivă.

Members are now free until August 11th to give their speech on RZ1 in any order they like, though I would prefer it if a member of the Opposition spoke next.

I'm free up until Friday, then I'm busy with my Sister-in-law's wedding for the next week.  Though not sure what role I play, since the State Opening is in the Cosa, yes?

Lexh H.1.1. states that the Speakers of both Houses of the Ziu conduct the State Opening, but I don't know what that really entails. Based purely on the letter of the law, the only people who have speaking roles during that event are the King, the Seneschal and the Leader of the Opposition. So I have no idea what you and I are supposed to do in the meantime.

So then, when's the best time for the King, the Seneschal and the (Deputy) Leader of the Opposition to all meet up in a livestream?

First up is the Right Honourable @Miestră Schivă, UrN for the Free Democrats of Talossa.

The Opposition could elect a new Leader of the Opposition for the month of August or something, just so things can run smoothly until you're available again, S:reu Briga.

Being the Túischac'h, I am at least partly responsible for this delay. I would like to have the State Opening as soon as possible. When's everyone free?

Estimat Túischac'h! The Free Democrats wish to speak to both bills before the Chamber, I'm just sorting out with our party president who from our side will rise to give the speech.

Great, good to know. Unless someone else seizes the opportunity to speak before a list of speaker gets established, whoever gets picked by your party will be the first in line.

QuoteAlso, will there be a set Timp për Terpelaziuns/Question Time?

Had someone requested it earlier I could've scheduled it before the 21st, but if there's demand for it we could have Terpelaziuns sometime between the 22st and the 31st. Would you (or your party leader), like to request it?
