Quote from: Mic'haglh Autófil, O.Be on Today at 12:54:15 AMApart from the US, I've been to Canada, the Bahamas, the UK, Ireland (RoI), and now Catalonia for work -- I did head down to Barcelona while there, logged around 15 km walking the city one day. No visit to Camp Nou though, sorry. :P

Bucket list countries would probably include:

• Switzerland
• Germany -- yes, including a trip to Wolfsburg to visit Autostadt and the VW factory, but also perhaps to catch a Grizzlys Wolfsburg game
• Italy, especially if I can get some good tours in of Palladian architecture
• Finland
• Russia, at least as a hypothetical. In my undergrad years I minored in Russian Language and Culture, and it would be very nice to put some of what I learned into practice. Rather let them get their stuff shaped up a bit before going over though, I think.
• Japan: between traditional architecture in places like Kyoto, a desire to hike Mt. Fuji, and the food...pretty much anywhere...this is probably one I'm going to want to save up a good bit of PTO for.
• Singapore -- not so much a "bucket list" country, but I'll likely be headed there for a wedding next year? That should be fun, I've heard good things about Singapore.

That sounds like an amazing travel experience! It was great to hear about your time in Barcelona. I'm a big FC Barcelona fan, so I have a special fondness for the city. Even though you didn't get to visit Camp Nou, I'm sure exploring Barcelona itself was a wonderful experience. I hope you get the chance to visit again in the future and see Camp Nou then. It's also one of my dreams to watch a Barça match there someday. :-)

If the next Government wishes to offer new Permanent Secretary positions for the outgoing Ministers to continue their duties that they held before joining the Cabinet, that's all well and good. But that ought to be their call.

@Sir Lüc , please move this bill to the CRL.

I'm amenable to cosponsoring, yes.

Obviously the CRL has already voted to approve this bill, but if the Scribery may request a point of clarification, so that I understand what would be required of me if this bill passes:

Under "Part II: Standards of the Cosa", if I understand correctly, should 62RZ14 pass referendum, then this text:

QuoteThe Cosa may impeach any of its members from the Chamber with a two-thirds majority vote and with the approval of the King. Following impeachment, a replacement will be chosen according to the third section of this article, and the impeached member shall not be eligible for reassignment of seats under the terms of this article. Following a failed impeachment, the accused Member of the Cosa may not again be impeached for the same offence, pursuant to the Seventh Covenant of the Covenant of Rights and Freedoms. The former Member of the Cosa is not barred from running for office in future elections as long as the former Member of the Cosa maintains citizenship.

would, if itself ratified, become the new wording of Org.IV.4.2. If 62RZ14 fails its referendum, the same text would become Org.IV.4.3 instead. Correct?

Quote from: Breneir Tzaracomprada on June 17, 2026, 09:31:42 PMWelp, with no word from the PA senator I hope to get to the Governor's comments this weekend.

Good evening - have you been able to alter your proposal to address any of those comments?

Sadly no, not yet. Extra-Talossan commitments have been occupying more of my time recently. I am going to try and post the alterations by the end of this week.

I face the same problem.. it was the 1st time I've wished victory for Portugal!

Everything above this comment has been queued up for Clarking - I suspect that's going to be it for this term, so I'm going ahead with numbering in the usual order (amendments, then bills, then nonbinding resolutions) so I can get a head start on preparing the PDF. Anything submitted later will simply get numbered out of order.
