Quote from: Tric'hard Lenxheir on November 09, 2022, 08:20:16 AMI've never done a Zoom meeting, is this something I need to set up an account for or just follow a link when I am invited?

You do not need to set anything up ahead of time

How should political parties get you a contact list? Email addresses? Witt PMs? Facebook?

Email generally works best w/ Zoom invites.

Quote from: Miestră Schivă, UrN on November 05, 2022, 06:29:12 PMThe Senator from Benito previously volunteered to set things up technologically speaking, I've asked him to chime in ASAP.

We'll need an Acting Túischac'h if AD can't make it, and an agenda. And probably a quorum?

I am also available on 11/20, and can help to make this happen.  I'll have to check as to whether I can hand over moderation/host powers to whomever will be chairing or not.  If not, I guess I'll have to function as a sort of "sgt. at arms" under the direction of the chair as needed.  Might be a "cohost" function.

Naturally I'm less interested in the Lunar "Democracy" that comes into being through the machinations of Mannie and Mycroft.  That's just warmed-over Enlightenment Liberalism facilitated by an electronic puppetmaster.

The adoption of the MIAHM Judge system felt natural.  Given the little codified provincial law in Benito, it seemed that lay arbitration might be a viable solution.

Estimats Senators,

Is anyone who's not

A.)  A party officer
-AND-
B.)  Not having their term expire this Cosa

interested in serving on the Electoral Commission?

This is also my bad.  Forgot about the Party Officer part, and thought Benito had another Cosa.  Consulting w/ Senate colleauges ASAP.

Benito adopted the "judge system" from MIAHM, as an example.  Essentially binding 3rd party arbitration.

Wittenberg / The NPW Rides Again
October 23, 2022, 06:33:56 PM
Estimats Talossans,

The NPW, Talossa's only Peculiarist Party, has been quiet for far too long.  As you know, we did not stand for the previous Cosa, and the only current Peculiarist in office is your Mencei, yours truly.  That simply will not do.

For those playing at home, Peculiarism is one of Talossa's oldest distinct ideologies.  The definition provided by Talossawiki, is that "Peculiarismeu is the belief that Talossa is not a country like other countries, but is instead its own special sort of entity. It is a genuine and unique Talossan ideology. According to this way of thinking, as Talossa is unique, it does not have to imitate other nations and their habits."

That's pretty fair.  My own attitudes, as a singular example, are that Talossa COULD explore the political possibilities presented by Heinlein's Lunar Govt. in "The Moon is a Harsh Mistress," or elements of governance from "A Canticle for Leibowitz."  Other historical examples include some of the thought of Danihel R. Lauriéir and Dieter Vercáriâ.

The current NPW does have a strong Republican attitude, at least partially driven by the personal attitudes of the current active membership.  It is something that could change (though I hope it doesn't!).  As such, Peculiarists of ALL Repub/Monarch stripes could find a home here.  If you're interested in joining, or would like to know more, please reach out!

I'm working my way through a lot of accreditation paperwork in my day job at the moment.  Being able to track the evolution of things has been INVALUABLE.  Though a wiki-history is one option, we should prepare ourselves for wiki-technology to one day be superseded.
#104
I think it is worth considering the first option, at the very least.  Though it might fill the Lex w/ ugly verbiage, it does fill the same purpose as "This page intentionally left blank."

As an almost-Cjovani, I'm glad I got on first.
