This location has been provisionally marked on Homestead granted and provisional claims Q1 2023 for consideration.

Although I'm not yet recognised as a Talossan citizen, I would like to claim the following spot (which was the place we usually sun-bathed with my parents when I was younger). Fun fact : Cezembre beach is the only one south-oriented in the region

Thanks for your consideration

Great to hear from you and that you have been to (and can see) Cézembre!  I do hope that you continue to pursue citizenship.  Typically we have held spots in the Zone Autorisé for the government, and distribute spots in the Zone Interdite.  However, in your case having prior use of the location, and it being near the edge of the canton boundary, I think that the Cézembre Land Office could propose the adjustment, subject to approval by l'Etats de Cézembre.  (also a hilarious pick for the english word version)

Just over 24 hours remain in the discussion period with no comment thus far.

As per RZ2 The BHAID Aid to Türkiye & Syria Act which passed the Ziu and was posted for administrative action 11 April:

Whereas, the people of Türkiye and Syria have been devastated by a severe earthquake with a death toll in the tens of thousands, and

Whereas, it is in the national character of Talossans to come to the aid and support of others in their time of need, and

Whereas, the Bureau of Humanitarian Aid and International Development exists for times and needs such as these.

Therefore, the Ziu authorizes the Bureau of Humanitarian Aid and International Development to make a one-time Talossan contribution of 33¤20 or $50 (USD) to the Syrian Civil Defence (White Helmets) to support local aid efforts.

Tomorrow 26 April there will be a donation of $50 from the PayPal account of the Kingdom to https://www.whitehelmets.org/en/

Quote from: xpb on April 11, 2023, 08:10:02 AMI will endeavor to start modeling a US non-profit tax compliant entity after that time for consideration by MinFin and then subsequent government discussion.

May I ask the Minisitreu if the Ziu is going to be informed and receive a copy of this model as soon as it will be delivered to his Minisitrà for consideration? The Seneschal just labeled this an "open discussion" and "open process" surely the Ministreu doesn't want this to be a closed government discussion, right?

My basic outline has already been stated in this thread in various places.  The primary discussion will be the number of directors, but as long as there are at least 3 then it could begin and add more directors at later dates, etc.  I will generate a mockup formation after tax day.

Some general information about 501(c)7 entities https://donorbox.org/nonprofit-blog/start-a-501c7

I will monitor this thread for any questions or concerns with proposed action to be taken after noon MDT on 26 APR 2023.

In the US, the current time period for submission of income tax forms will conclude a week from today. Typically that is 15 April, but as that is on a Saturday, it is pushed out, and because April 17 is an observed holiday of Emancipation Day in Washington, District of Columbia, the date this year is the 18th.  I will endeavor to start modeling a US non-profit tax compliant entity after that time for consideration by MinFin and then subsequent government discussion.

I'm getting one of each of the mugs and stickers.  The shipping seems a bit high, but that may be due to protection for the ceramics.

With regret, announced to Cézembre.

Quote from: Üc R. Tärfă on April 04, 2023, 04:03:54 AMI hope I am not misunderstood: I very much appreciate the study and information that the Bugermeister is sharing, and I agree with them "in principle". However, I would like to emphasise that, from my point of view, this exposition is not yet definable as an action plan but rather as ideas and suggestions of a possible way forward (for exemple I'd be more inclined to have only more "permanent" civil officers on the board and not more frequently changing political members of the government, King, Burgermeister & SoS for example). May I suggest that a bipartisan Royal Commission (Burgermeister + one member of the majority (I guess the FinMin will be the one) and one member of the opposition) be set up to study the path in depth, starting from the Burgermeister already exposed framewok, and draw up detailed proposals/pathway/implementation suggestions to be submitted to the Ziu for consideration and implementation (Lexh.H.5.)?

On the financial reform, I'll officially submit my proposal as a draft, I haven't received any comment on it except from the Burgermeister, with the change proposed by the Burgemeister framed in this way: until such a time when an organisation will be set up, the money will be temporarily held by...). That section, which needs to describe the current situation, will be later modified accordingly by the implementing acts adopted by the Ziu based on the plan drawn up by the Royal Commission. The bill could also be the vehicle to set up the Commission (FURTHERMORE etc etc)

We can certainly continue on for some time in the current fashion, but in this the 44th year it would appear best to eventually (prior to Independence day, better yet prior to Q4) get this resolved to a more sustainable form.

Quote from: Breneir Tzaracomprada on April 02, 2023, 05:19:01 PMxpb With respect to the 501c7 you have presented a good framework for action. I am happy to assist with setup costs as well.

Thanks - what we will need initially will be a minimum of 3 directors.  That could be King, Burgermeister, and MinFin with the King as the registered agent, or could be Burgermeister and two others, such as Seneschal and shadow Seneschal or some other mix, with the King remaining as the registered agent.  These directors can change from time to time, such as after a Cosa election, or whenever the Kingdom would see fit.  The number of directors can expand or contract such that there are at least 3 at any given time.

It appears that as long as at least one Director is a USA citizen, along with the registered agent (both are currently the proposed case) then other directors could be of any nationality.  There can be more than 3 directors, all of whom would need to publish their physical address in the filings.  The postal mailing address for the proposed entity will be Post Office Box 3037, High Mar Station, Boulder, CO 80307-3037 USA which my family has held since 1960 when that Post Office opened.  I would likely list +1 303-442-5538 as a phone number as that has been held since 1960 as well but is now directed linked to a mobile phone.  The mailing address and phone number may also be updated periodically as needed by the organizaiton.

A prototype Timebank for Cézembre has been established at https://www.timeoverflow.org/organizations/395
Thus far I have listed offers for lasercutting and 3d printing, and requests for list-type trivia questions.  Let me know if you would like to join this test - I will be happy to add you just send me a PM.

Quote from: Baron Alexandreu Davinescu on March 29, 2023, 10:57:11 AMYeah, the person who's in possession of those assets, Istefan, hasn't been responsive despite several requests.  It's understandable, given circumstances, but difficult for us to manage around.  I'd love it if anyone had other methods of contact beyond his personal email.  (Same with Mic'haglh, actually.)

How long has it been since the purchases were made?

These are recent stamp and coin transactions - there are others that are voluntary contributions (still being shown as purchases with fees deducted) and party registration fees etc.

As there have been recent payments to purchase coins and stamps, and there has been no response regarding the inventory of coins and stamps, it it my intention to refund recent PayPal purchases of coins and stamps along with messages that those potential purchasers would be contacted again when such items were available.

I would like to suspend the links at https://talossa.com/culture/coinsandstamps/ until such time as an inventory is accessible for these purchases.
