Wittenberg / Governors' Council
Last post by Miestră Schivă, UrN-GC - Today at 01:29:04 AM
As part of my portfolio at Culture, it is my intention to bring together a semi-permanent council of all the Heads of Government of the several provinces, to specifically discuss ways in which Talossa's provinces can be made interesting again, culturally speaking (although provincial governance arrangements may arise where pertinent to Culture)

Can I get a current list of who they are?

Atatürk: currently vacant
Belacosta: @Mic'haglh Autófil, O.Be  (incumbent)
Cézembre: @þerxh Sant-Enogat
Fiova: me (as incumbent Capitán of the Praisidieu)
Florencia: vacant right now ( @mximo is the nominee)
Maricopa: vacant right now ( @Françal I. Lux is the nominee)
Maritiimi-Maxhestic: @Sir Ian Plätschisch
Vuode: vacant right now

ETA: Provincial governments can send representatives if that's more convenient.

Yes. It looks fine.

I oppose the "senior MC" alternative mainly because it would lead to the senior MC becoming "default Túischac'h", i.e. there would have to be an affirmative Cosa majority to choose anyone else as Túischac'h.

I was at one of my daughters' swim practices with my computer and no project I could really sink my teeth into in a half hour, so I put together a new lesson. It's already been pretty much approved by Tafi, with just a couple errors to correct. The topic is pronunciation!

I haven't had a chance to sit down and wrap my brain around this, but I'm a little worried about possible interactions around someone holding both sets of powers at the same time. I feel like if I sit down and go through the law, I'll find instances where that would be a really bad idea. Has anyone gone through and done that?

Are we still debating who the Speaker will be? Is that why folks are not voting?

This seems good, nothing to add.

Right. So the amendments here are:

Quote13.6. The Commission shall review and certify the unofficial results within 14 seven days following the Election Deadline, pursuant to the following subsections. [41]

    13.6.1. The Commission, sua sponte or upon notification by a third party, shall review any ballots or results in which a potential irregularity has been spotted. The Ministry of Justice shall, in consultation with the Secretary of State, make available to the public forms which such notification can be made to the Commission. [41]
    13.6.2. Notwithstanding the above, the Secretary of State shall be empowered to correct any irregularity in the tabulation of results found prior to the Commission taking jurisdiction over the matter. [41]

13.6.X. If the Commission, upon a majority vote, believes that there is a substantial issue that requires more time to investigate, the Certification Deadline shall be extended to 14 days following the election deadline.

    13.6.3. If the Commission, upon a majority vote, confirms the existence of an irregularity which affects the outcome of an election item, it shall correct the problem prior to certification as provided in the following subsections. [41]

        13.6.3.1. If the Commission finds that a vote (or votes) has (or have) not been properly counted, it shall direct the Secretary of State to correct the results as necessary. [41]
        13.6.3.2. If the Commission finds that a vote was cast by an ineligible voter, it shall direct the Secretary of State to invalidate such a vote and correct the results as necessary, and notify the Ministry of Justice of any potential civil or criminal violation. [41]
        13.6.3.3. If the Commission should find multiple irregularities which significantly alter the results of an election, it may recommend to the King that the incoming Cosa be dissolved and a new election be called. In such a case, the Commission shall continue to serve as constituted. [41]

    13.6.4. If the Commission should find any other irregularity not otherwise specified, it may take any action appropriate within its power proportionate to the circumstances. [41]
    13.6.5. Should the Commission fail to certify the unofficial results prior to the Certification Deadline, the results are considered to be official, unless the Commission should lodge a petition with the Uppermost Cort[32] seeking additional time to review a potential irregularity. Such petitions shall be submitted to the Uppermost Cort[32] on forms prescribed by the Ministry of Justice following a 2/3rds vote of the Commission. [41]
    13.6.6. The Uppermost Cort[32] shall immediately review any petition laid before it by the Commission, shall grant such petition upon finding there is sufficient evidence to warrant the request, and shall limit the delay in certification only to such races or ballot items which the outcome would be affected if the potential irregularity were found to be true. If the petition is not granted within 21 days following the Election Deadline, the results shall be considered certified and the petition denied as moot.

And El Lexh H.4.4:

Quote4.4. The Cosă shall elect the Túischac'h as follows.

    4.4.1. Should the position of Túischac'h be vacant and a majority of Cosă seats be filled, any Member of the Cosă may either nominate one eligible person for the office of Túischac'h, or second such a nomination made by another Member of the Cosă.

4.4.1.1. Whenever the position of Túischac'h is vacant, the Secretary of State shall perform the duties of the Túischac'h under Organic and statute law.

    4.4.2. Members of the Cosă may not nominate or second multiple different nominees.
    4.4.3. Should the Secretary of State determine that an eligible person has been nominated and seconded by members currently representing an absolute majority of seats in the Cosă, the Secretary of State shall declare the person to be duly elected as Túischac'h, to serve until the Dissolution of the current Cosă.
    4.4.4. Upon receipt of a petition declaring the Office of Túischac'h vacant from members of the Cosă representing an absolute majority the Secretary of State shall declare a vacancy in the Office of Túischac'h.[183]
    4.4.5. The Túischac'h shall have full powers to suspend an MC from Cosa debates for Contempt of the Cosa. For a first offense, this shall have a maximum term of 1 day, for a second and subsequent offenses, this shall have a maximum of seven (7) days.

And while we're at it, a new El Lexhatx H.4.6:

Quote4.6. The Cosa shall autonomously determine the rules of its proceedings.
(want to add more details to this @Marcel Eðo Pairescu Tafial, UrGP ?)

Madam Cunstaval @Antaglha Xhenerös Somelieir

I am not for certain but I believe you are the one to appoint a new governor?

I believe that the nimlet needs to attempt to choose a governor for itself before the crown intervenes

Last time the crown intervened because the nimlet failed to agree on a candidate

If the nimlet fails to decide on a candidate and after which, invites the crown to intercede via a resolution of the nimlet, then and only we may do so
At least this is what i remember from last time.

Thanks Madam Cunstaval, I nominate @mximo for Governor
