Quote from: Breneir Tzaracomprada on February 06, 2026, 11:47:10 PM@Sir Lüc Mr. Secretary, would you please move this to the CRL for consideration?

@Antaglha Xhenerös Somelieir Congratulations on your appointment as the Humanitarian Aid PermSec. I wanted to ask whether the recipient mentioned in this resolution might be an organization you would recommend to the Government?

Quote from: Baron Alexandreu Davinescu on Today at 02:12:20 PMAs to 62RZ16, BHAID: Humanitarian Assistance to Sudan Resolution, I vote contra.  At the urging of the bill's sponsor, the government has recently appointed someone to make themselves an expert in humanitarian aid and recommend how we should distribute the funds, and I don't want to immediately undermine her.

Nearly three weeks ago, before moving forward with this bill for Clarking, I asked this very question to the new PermSec for Humanitarian Aid.

I received no response.

@Antaglha Xhenerös Somelieir I had sincerely hoped that after some review you would find the organization and the cause worthy of support. Hopefully with some more time you will be able to advise the Seneschal so that his concerns about undermining you can be assuaged.

Quote from: Mic'haglh Autófil, O.Be on Today at 03:01:23 PMBecause I am trying to wait for S:reu Carbonel's input, as previously noted.

Please remember that I am trying to remain relatively hands-off in this process other than administrative functions, due to my not being a Florencian. A lot of "political questions" are things I am going to try and keep myself as uninvolved in as possible as a matter of propriety and respect for the local democratic will. As a result, in my view we are only properly, ethically quorate when both of you are present.

That said, in the interest of keeping things moving, here's what I propose: let's give @mximo until Wednesday (4 March) to provide input. Whether or not he has done so by then, I will put out some sort of agenda that evening. In the meantime, what I will ask you to do is put forward any specific recommendations on the sections you identified above.

Quote from: Breneir Tzaracomprada on February 22, 2026, 03:47:13 PMYes, as I have stated before I think we should amend the constitution in whole (moving toward a system with elements from Fiova, Belacosta, and Vuode) but if we decide to restrict ourselves to spot amendments then we should certainly work on reforms to Article III (Government) and Article IV (Legislation). Recent experience shows critical need for reforms specifically to Sections 6 through 9 of Article III.

Done, a few days ago, I proposed that those be areas for review but am not yet ready to submit specific proposals especially before you've even set an agenda.
In a few more days I will look forward to *some kind of contribution* from either you or the other member of this Committee.

Based on the frequency of his posts I am skeptical.

As someone who has worked in solidarity with the Syrian people for a decade in their civil war against the butchering dictator Bashar al-Assad, who was propped up all along the way by the "Islamic" "Republic" of Iran, I'm certainly shedding no tears for the 86 year old head of the theocracy going to meet his Maker.

But this isn't even "regime change". This is vandalism. A regime change strike would attempt to maximise the possibility for an opposition to the regime to change over. But the US strike actually killed former President Ahmedinejad, and is *rumoured* to have eliminated current president Pezeshkian and former president Rouhani - all "dissidents" who could have led a challenge to the theocracy. This is killing for the sake of killing and can't be defended even if you hate the "I""R"I with a passion, as many have a right to.

The wildest people around the Israeli government are now saying they're going to do the same to the president of Turkey next (who, while a creep, has at least as much democratic legitimacy as either Trump or Netanyahu do). This cannot stand.

Because I am trying to wait for S:reu Carbonel's input, as previously noted.

Early this morning and at the direction of their president, Donald Trump, the United States of America invaded the sovereign territory of the state of Iran and murdered an unknown number of people.  These actions of war were taken without authorization from the United States Congress, a necessary step according to their constitution, and without the authorization of any international entity which might conceivably have provided a legal basis for these crimes.  By all reports, there was no imminent threat.

The Kingdom of Talossa regrets that this is the third time we've been forced to condemn such behavior in as many months, but sadly expects further repetition in which the sovereignty of another country is violated without any legal basis.


Signed,
Alexandreu Davinescu, Seneschal del Regipäts Talossan es Baron Davinescu del Vilatx Freiric

As to 62RZ14, The Broosking Swing Mitigation Amendment (Reconsideration), I abstain, in keeping with the the Progressive Alliance's agreement with the URL.
As to 62RZ15, The Cunstavál Reform Amendment, I vote per.
As to 62RZ16, BHAID: Humanitarian Assistance to Sudan Resolution, I vote contra.  At the urging of the bill's sponsor, the government has recently appointed someone to make themselves an expert in humanitarian aid and recommend how we should distribute the funds, and I don't want to immediately undermine her.
As to 62RZ17, Party List Priority Act, I vote contra.  There's an error in how this is approached: if someone on a party list is ultimately unable to hold seats, this law would still obligate that they get seats and then strike out.  I recommend another version that cleans up this language.
As to 62RZ18, The Immigration Application Cleanup Act, I vote per.
As to 62RZ19, Zuavs Name Correction Act, I vote per.
As to 62RZ20, Sense of the Ziu: Global Governance of Artificial Intelligence, I abstain.
As to 62RZ21, Sense of the Ziu: Iranian Freedom & Democracy, I abstain.

Well, okay.  That's a long time from now, but I'm game.

I'll put those on my calendar, and on those days I (or my successor, hopefully) will declare a special Day of Observance: 8 Jan 2027 will be a Road Sign Day of Observance, and 12 Feb 2027 will be a Number Plate Day of Observance.  When we get to those days, what would you like me (or my successor) to do to celebrate?

Quote from: Baron Alexandreu Davinescu on Today at 01:31:49 PMSo I'll be happy to declare a day of observance on those days, but they're very far away.  It's going to be a long time waiting for them, and there's no guarantee that I will still be Seneschal.  I can pledge on behalf of the office to celebrate them, but may I suggest just requesting the days and telling me how I might celebrate them for you?  Then I'll announce a Day of Observance for everyone to celebrate on a date that's a lot closer, probably within a few weeks.  Waiting for so many months seems like a hard thing to do!

Alright, let's make Road Sign Day 8 January (which is when the TMRSS "became" a thing) and Number Plate Day 14 February (date of the TalossaWiki page for my number plate concept being last edited).

So I'll be happy to declare a day of observance on those days, but they're very far away.  It's going to be a long time waiting for them, and there's no guarantee that I will still be Seneschal.  I can pledge on behalf of the office to celebrate them, but may I suggest just requesting the days and telling me how I might celebrate them for you?  Then I'll announce a Day of Observance for everyone to celebrate on a date that's a lot closer, probably within a few weeks.  Waiting for so many months seems like a hard thing to do!
