Quote from: Breneir Tzaracomprada on Yesterday at 08:34:11 PM@Tierçéu Rôibeardescù I recall proposing some kind of ability for terps to be submitted directly to civil servants. I wonder if that effort could be picked up to further the idea you mention in the sixth whereas clause.

the thing about this is possibly its need to be being a kept apart from the ziu/politics as technically we serve his majesty rather then the people?

An excellent point, thank you. I think it would be wise to continue limiting the encroachment of political interests into the civil service. And I think the designing of some kind of facility to question civil servants is possible while considering that concern.

My primary concern in the past has been that we have de facto vacant civil service positions. Or that we have limited mechanisms for accountability for what are very powerful offices. We can see the former with the Permanent Secretary for Humanitarian Aid and International Development (no shade intended just observing the obvious).

Tierçéu, you've touched on an area that has been of interest for me for years. Perhaps at some point in the future I hope you might consider cooperating on this.

What kind of help are you looking for?  If you're looking for direction, you can ask your supervising Government official (the Minister of Culture, @Françal I. Lux ).  If you'd like to establish more policies or guidelines, though, I think you should generally just do it.  Or you can do a public consultation if you're just not really sure.

Quote from: Tierçéu Rôibeardescù on July 17, 2026, 02:51:35 PMhi luc, under the new model of membership requirements your submitting of your this thesis qualifies you for membership in the Society, should you wish it.

I would be happy to join. I had my qualms with the way the Royal Society was being used as a cheap honours farm for a little while, but I think it's headed in a better direction these days.

Incidentally, my current research interests veered off in a different direction (computer engineering applied to natural risk assessment), which I think would make for a more interesting talk than approximation algorithms, if people were interested.

I am keen to move away from being a title factory also, plus its not like I am in a position to give myself the PHD I dream of so what would be the point. My main reason of necro ing this post, the fact that as now submitting a paper (which we find ourselfs a lot just by being academics) allows for ease not just of membership but also dissemination of knowledge and expertise like never before. If there can be roving relevant that could even be applied here in talossa,  however small in scale, even better!

@Tierçéu Rôibeardescù I recall proposing some kind of ability for terps to be submitted directly to civil servants. I wonder if that effort could be picked up to further the idea you mention in the sixth whereas clause.

I raise this to start the discussion and as is quite evident is intended to be modded to suit the outcome of said discussion

WHEREAS, I the president of the royal society feel that the society I represent lacks much in the way of legalistic clarity and clear executive mandate in terms of detail, currently only making up 2 short paragraphs of the nations legal code.

WHEREAS I'm sure we could be delegated more powers and mandates over educational matters from our assigned ministry, and as civil servants we are less surseptable to political tides and engagement wims.

WHEREAS, the royal treasury has 7 sections plus 4 sub subsections which is makes our 1 plus subsection look less significant.

WHEREAS, plz gib us shiny rocks and more law and stuff to do to make us feel big and clever.

WHEREAS the following amendment... (TBD)

WHEREAS maybe there should be a more formal but public mechanism for civil servant to be able manner akin to a terpz

Oh my God! He's OUT?!? Wasn't he like the number two in the race?

Full update later, but the big news is: Vingegaard crashed and abandoned the race! An EVC, VFL or BDC comeback is unthinkable now.
