Quote from: Baron Alexandreu Davinescu on Yesterday at 05:55:32 PMI think it might be time to put in some requirements that government business be required to take place in venues that will allow this to happen.  This Government is certainly doing so with the Cabinet forum, as did my predecessors, but there's no legal requirement... we're just relying on everyone's good nature.

However, it might be the case that a policy statement -- which would either stand publicly or be rescinded publicly by an administration -- would serve the same purpose.  I'd be interested in hearing everyone's thoughts.

You will not be surprised that I am in complete agreement on enacting legal requirements for transparent government business. This past informal session is a perfect example of what becomes possible when we conduct business with increased visibility between the actors.

Looking forward to your thoughts on the premiere. One day we should have a Trek watch-party. There is plenty of content to choose from.

I'm definitely gonna watch!

Scotch and a Trek premiere is a great way to celebrate. Felicieu Nadaliçă!

I am wondering if anyone is planning on watching this? As a Trekkie, I consume it all but the presence of Holly Hunter and Paul Giamatti is certainly a hook for me. I am not a fan of the new setting in the Fourth Millennium but remain hopeful.

Quote from: Baron Alexandreu Davinescu on December 29, 2025, 07:13:41 PMIf you would be willing to defer this bill, I have some ideas about reforming the whole process.

@Baron Alexandreu Davinescu Seneschal, a quick check-in. Any news on the ideas you mentioned having to reform the whole process of government transparency?
