You two are perfect for each other.

I am relieved and grateful. @mximo and @Antaglha Xhenerös Somelieir We will need to nominate a new governor who will hopefully be present and able to fulfill the duties.

I resign as governor.

You two are perfect for each other.

Any news concerning plans for the Royal Society in 2026? Should there be a chance for Fora Talossa and the Royal Society to collaborate I am certainly down for it.

Quote from: Breneir Tzaracomprada on January 02, 2026, 07:57:26 PMMadame President, I wanted to follow up on this query. As Fora Talossa editor I would love for my channel to work with the Society on any planned educational efforts.

The lack of response here is disappointing as I had high hopes for the Rejuvenation Project.

Yeah, I assume that if any official requested to speak on a given bill within their portfolio (probably even if it wasn't in their portfolio, actually), they would be invited to do so. It's a good thing to permit, because the people carrying out our laws often have invaluable input on their form.

It's an interesting question, actually. In Germany, ministers who aren't MPs are allowed to participate in debates when the bill in question is on a topic that's part of their portfolio, in order to represent Government policies. I would be in favour of allowing something like this in Talossa, too.

The King may debate, but not vote. The Secretary of State may do neither. No one else can speak unless invited to do so, which is what a terpelaziun does.

A multi-part question came up as I was writing the mailer.

• The King can not hold any seats in either house, but he is Organically a member of the Ziu as the Crown-in-Parliament. He can also Hopper and Clark bills. As such, can the King take part in debate on bills? As a kind-of-MZ, should the King be able to vote on procedural issues?
• The Secretary of State also can not hold any seats in either house, and is not a member of the Ziu either; but he is the other non-MC and non-Senator who can Hopper and Clark bills. As such, can the SoS take part in debate on bills?
• Ministers are not required to hold seats in the Ziu and historically some didn't, as is the case of the current MinTech. Can any such non-MZ ministers take part in debate, or are they restricted to only answering Terpelaziuns, or are they barred from speaking altogether?

(This kind of boils down to how strict floor privilege is considered to be in Talossa, which is an unexplored matter. It's not too important an issue, but it would be helpful to know for sure beforehand.)

Quote from: Breneir Tzaracomprada on Yesterday at 12:13:54 PMA review of voting shows mixed support from the PA and URL on the Green Party's Sense of the Ziu concerning the deterioration of democracy in the United States. We call on both major parties to join us in expressing Talossa's grave concern especially since the US actions in Venezuela and threats against an ally (Denmark) over the status of Greenland.

And what is happening in places like Minneapolis with trigger-happy ICE agents...

Right, the meeting link will be https://unipd.zoom.us/j/88582238457?pwd=lrVZ5swd4T9ULUrviBoeHx9HjeiNm3.1. See you all there on Sunday!

Looks fine to me!  Thanks!
