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.

Quote from: Breneir Tzaracomprada on July 19, 2026, 08:34:11 PM@Tierçéu Rôibeardescù I recall proposing some kind of ability for terps to be submitted directly to civil servants. I wonder if that effort could be picked up to further the idea you mention in the sixth whereas clause.

the thing about this is possibly its need to be being a kept apart from the ziu/politics as technically we serve his majesty rather then the people?

An excellent point, thank you. I think it would be wise to continue limiting the encroachment of political interests into the civil service. And I think the designing of some kind of facility to question civil servants is possible while considering that concern.

My primary concern in the past has been that we have de facto vacant civil service positions. Or that we have limited mechanisms for accountability for what are very powerful offices. We can see the former with the Permanent Secretary for Humanitarian Aid and International Development (no shade intended just observing the obvious).

Tierçéu, you've touched on an area that has been of interest for me for years. Perhaps at some point in the future I hope you might consider cooperating on this.
