¡Estimadas es estimats Uniunistaes!

Under Constitution II.A.1, I rise to nominate as the three members of the Comità to be elected by this Convention, the outgoing Comità: namely, myself, @Mic'haglh Autófil, O.Be , and @Antaglha Xhenerös Somelieir .

Quote from: Mic'haglh Autófil, O.Be on March 08, 2026, 07:34:53 PMParty List Reform #1: The URL supports legislation to prioritize party lists, ensuring that "off-list" candidates can only receive seats if no "on-list" candidates are eligible, in order to improve transparency and allow voters to better judge the intentions of the parties on the ballot.

I'd add "... or willing" here. If someone doesn't want to take seats you can't make them. I'm aware that this might mean packing a list with people who agree in advance not to take seats, but if people want to game the system to such an extent there's not much you can do about it.

Wouldn't that be addressed by Party List Reform #2? People who are unwilling to take seats can simply say "no thanks, please don't put me on the list".

No. Consent to go on the list <> consent to take up seats

Agree; but we need more detail on what this might mean before we put it in a platform. Does the incumbent Túischac'h @Marcel Eðo Pairescu Tafial, UrGP have any ideas?

With these caveats, this is an excellent program, and what's even better, a program that could, realistically, be enacted in one Cosa with a 2/3 majority and an agreeable Senäts. It is realistic.

WHAT is my name?

Moinul Moin.

WHAT is my request?

If it so please the Squirrel King of Arms, I request the assistance of the College in designing and obtaining arms for myself and my lawful heirs.

WHAT is my favourite colour?

Green,Red,Blue.

I am delighted to announce that with the assistance of an international volunteering grant from the German Mennonite Peace Committee I will be travelling to Palestine (Al-Khalil/Hebron) later this year. I will be participating with human rights workers from Community Peacemaker Teams (CPT) and this will be my first human rights/peacebuilding mission since Colombia in 2019. I am beyond grateful and appreciative of this opportunity to participate in peaceful resistance to occupation.

For Talossa, this will mean that I will be taping some segment to show what the Occupation looks like on the ground.
