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

Yay! I hope I can find the time to do a little research and tweak my team this term.

I have thoughts on B.13.6 that basically boil down to: even 10 days is needlessly long 99% of the time, and while I recognise that the certification tools might be improved to speed up work, I suspect there's been a fair few instances of commissioners basically waiting until the deadline to get to work. And since we must wait for everyone to be done to wrap up, one slow commissioner will balance out the other commissioners who do recognise the sooner the election is certified, the faster we can get back to business.

So my counterproposal is: 7 days by default, 7 more days if two EC members feel like there's something substantial that needs more time investigating, and leaving untouched the already existing proposals governing extensions granted by the UC.

Quote from: Miestră Schivă, UrN-GC on October 01, 2026, 11:45:28 PMIn Aotearoa New Zealand, the clerk of the House organizes the election of the Speaker of every new Parliament.

The Talossan equivalent would be to empower the Secretary of State to act in place of the Túischac'h until one is elected.

I think this has the virtue of elegance.

Also: change El Lexhatx B.13.6 to read 10 days instead of 14 days?

If no-one has strong objections to this I'm going to go with it

The nomination has been withdrawn and there is only one candidate running, and a majority of Senators have nominated and/or voted for S:da Somelieir - good enough for the Chancery to declare the Senator for Atatürk elected as Mençei. Database is updated and board moderation handover will happen soon-ish.

In 2003, I made my second Haxh to Talossa, the first being the year previous.  On that trip, I stayed in a hotel with Andy Lowry two nights, two nights at Lytheria, and one night at the Talossan Consulate with Ben and Amy (Amy was out of town that weekend).

To say Lytheria is "eclectic" would be a gross understatement.  You will never find a larger library of fantasy and science fiction than at that place (unless it's at Ián Anglatzarâ's), and as Xherolt has alluded to, it is the site of the in(famous) 2003 Living Cosa and TalossaFest that led indirectly to what came after.

I would daresay the 2003 TalossaFest weekend was one of the great events of Talossan history.

Quote from: Tric'hard Lenxheir on Yesterday at 11:12:22 AMWell it is a new season and the first week is in the books. I forgot to post the matchups before the week started but here are the results for week 1.

Tigreux dal Belacostă def. Maricopa Havana Hijinks 255.80-159.80
Gordon Hiatus Support Team def. Maritiimi-Maxhestic Mençeis 215.60-171.80
Florencia Shepherds def. Els Talossaes Rexhitais 305.80-173.80
Banqeu da Cézembre Zambonis def. Cjovani Squilats 364.80-234.90
Vuode Villains def. Cézembrean Amateurs on Ice 190.60-130.60

The standings after week 1. Placement, team name, record for the season, points scored (the first tie breaker in the standings).

1. Banqeu da Cézembre Zambonis 1-0 (364.80)
2. Florencia Shepherds 1-0 (305.80)
3. Tigreux dal Belacostă 1-0 (255.80)
4. Gordon Hiatus Support Team 1-0 (215.60)
5. Vuode Villains 1-0 (190.60)
6. Cjovani Squilats 0-1 (234.90)
7. Els Talossaes Rexhitais 0-1 (173.80)
8. Maritiimi-Maxhestic Mençeis 0-1 (171.80)
9. Maricopa Havana Hijinks 0-1 (159.80)
10. Cézembrean Amateurs on Ice 0-1 (130.60)


Banqeu da Cézembre Zambonis are off to a hot start which based upon previous seasons could mean bad things for the rest of us as he is usually a slow starter who comes on strong towards the end of the season, Florencia makes a great first showing this week as well. The Villains were the lowest scoring winner for the week which does not bode well for the team when he starts facing the powerhouse teams.

Here are the matchups for this week. Remember to keep checking injury status and make sure you have 3 starts each week by your goalies.

Maritiimi-Maxhestic Mençeis (0-1) v. Florencia Shepherds (1-0)
Cézembrean Amateurs on Ice (0-1) v. Maricopa Havana Hijinks (0-1)
Cjovani Squilats (0-1) v. Tigreux dal Belacostă (1-0)
Banqeu da Cézembre Zambonis (1-0) v. Gordon Hiatus Support Team (1-0)
Vuode Villains (1-0) v. Els Talossaes Rexhitais (0-1)

Good luck this week everyone!

Wooohoooo! Go Shepherds!
