Quote from: Baron Alexandreu Davinescu on Today at 07:37:48 AMI don't know why you would need legal advice, but if you did, you'd ask the person whose job it is to give legal advice to government offices: the Avocat-Xheneral (me right now).  If you needed someone appointed to help you specifically, we'd find a deputy and appoint them to the job to do that.

Say, where should the lines be drawn around ethical study? Ai usege in essays ect? there is such thing as too much knolage as indeed Lexh.D.7 does state.

I would argue/question that this is intended to apply "The government of the Kingdom of Talossa has the duty and responsibility to make public information about and held by the government's cabinet ministries and sub offices within the guidelines set below," which the civil service would possibly find a ajaysecent but not necessarily beholden to such requrst, at least as read in this secton alone. we are not considered sub-offices so much as separate entities with ministerial supervison.

I raise this as a example to do with the civil service as a whole also, not just the RS. 

Like, somehow we had a director of athletics at the university in the past, yet even the wiki doesn't mention it (I checked all previous versions), aside from Éovart Grischuns ÁrTal's page. Theres present for Sports to be folded in too?  At that point, maybe we could be a university again? Techically as you Say, I could do that and may even be my right to do so... the law would have to change to my wims?


21 June 1998/XIX – University of Talossa chartered... we even have the act of it too... yet not a charter itself actually exists (at least not any more)

Whoa there, compadres, I know what I can do and want to do. What I want is more structure. What if i wanted to fold the collage of arms and Büreu del Glheþ and Permanent Secretary of Cultural Development. Technically all have education as part of their mandate; some are more utilised than others; if at all, some are more importent then others. All could be construed as under the remit of advancing and preserving knowledge. Should the libabry of talossa be moved to our remit too? Could we start self-publishing Talossan works?

This is more I want the position to be considered as important and be reflected in law.

Even when we were the university and BEER we had very little oversight or presence, which was why it was so easy to fall out of use and be forgotten about... But should someone not have accidentally made a tit of themselves, assigning someone to BEER in exchange for withdrawal of a vote to remove it, it could have stayed as an institution in its own right and not later have been folded into the Royal Society. It's almost like there should be a formal mechanism for accountability but also clear powers and limitations of civil servants so they don't run wild and cause a scene... like checking if the changes they are making are constitutional before doing so?

Talossas never had an education secretary or minister, yet we talk about lack of knowledge and understanding of Talossa, history, language, unbenosnet changes to key details about ourselves (like is Taco Bell even our national restaurant any more?).

this bill is not asking for permition, its asking for movement, change, clarity. And more than 2 paragraphs.

I kinda dont even care what changes are made, I just want a improvement on our current assignment.

62RZ26   I vote per.
62RZ27   I vote per.

Tierçéu, I can share the bill I submitted in the past as an example for a policy concerning the terms question.

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.

for this particular point about civil service Terps, its more the point that there is few formal mechanisms for the civil service to be interacted with and  to intact with the state, for example we are unable to post in the ziu,  even to relevant changes in policy (SOS withstanding), there exists no mechanism for the civil service to seek a formal legal opinion thought the courts as I recently found out (AG withstanding). Finally There is no form of accountability or even freedom of information requests built in,  less in the way of needing help rather to be `summonedable` as well as to part of public record.

You are the person in charge of the Royal Society, so you're the one who makes changes in policy.  If you want to make a policy requiring that the Royal Society abide by the rules of Lexh.D.7 for public records requests, then you can just do so.

If you're not sure about what you want to do, you can ask your supervisor, the Royal Society itself, or the nation at large.  But fundamentally you make policy for the Royal Society.  As an example: when I was Clerk of Corts, I was annoyed with the way the records were kept.  There was no way to find anything.  So I just announced a new system, set it up, and made it the rule.  I was the person in charge of cort records, and so I had the authority to do that.  You're in charge of the Royal Society, so you have the authority to do stuff, too.

I don't know why you would need legal advice, but if you did, you'd ask the person whose job it is to give legal advice to government offices: the Avocat-Xheneral (me right now).  If you needed someone appointed to help you specifically, we'd find a deputy and appoint them to the job to do that.

Just do the thing you want.  If you're not sure what you want to do, ask for feedback or suggestions.

The fact that this bill was submitted at all is representative of a problem that has plagued Talossa for years; that no one feels like they are allowed to do anything unless they are specifically authorized to do so by law.

President Rôibeardescù, take it to heart that you have authority to act for the King in regard to the Royal Society insofar as it does not contradict Organic or statute law. If you want to increase your educational activities, you are free to do so. If you want to ask His Majesty's government a question on behalf of the Society, you are free to do so (I suppose they wouldn't be obliged to answer although, at least in the current climate, I see no reason why they wouldn't).

Like i shouldn't have to propose an amendment to be able to flag up a need for structural change to get this put on public record

Azul. Pursuant to Lex.B.13.2, on June 10th and July 7th I informed all relevant officeholders of their responsibility to appoint three members to the Electoral Commission for the 63rd Cosă General Election. As of July 14th I received all necessary nominations, and I have now successfully established with each nominee their willingness to serve, as required by law.

I am therefore pleased to announce that the Electoral Commission for the next General Elections is comprised of:

- Myself in my office of Secretary of State, as de jure non-voting member and chair;
- Judge Sir @Istefan Perþonest, appointed by the Uppermost Court;
- Senator @Béneditsch Ardpresteir, appointed by the Mençei;
- Senator @þerxh Sant-Enogat, appointed by the King on advice of the Seneschal.

I will proceed to transmit to the Commission a set of proposed rules for certification as soon as Royal Assent is signified on a number of bills that may cause some rules to require amending.



Sir Lüc da Schir, UrB
Secretary of State
