El Ziu/The Ziu / Re: Rules of procedure?
Last post by Baron Alexandreu Davinescu - January 15, 2026, 10:34:17 AM
I agree, and I would have called cloture if necessary, but I also want to be mindful of the fact that it might seem aggressive to do that if someone else wants to speak -- it ends up being perceived as an attempt to stifle them, rather than a matter of time.  So the moderator just giving a reminder of the time after ten minutes of debate on a bill might just be helpful without seeming like an attack, you know?  Just a thought.

Thank you again... you did a great job.  I know my pronunciation wasn't perfect but I think it was a lot better than it would have been without your tutoring!

Sure. I mean, if time is really of the essence, members can always request a time limit via Point of Order, so that should be fine.

That would be good.  I think we can also have a reminder of the time when we pass a certain number of minutes on a given bill, maybe?

Wittenberg / Re: [Govt] Policy Announcement...
Last post by Baron Alexandreu Davinescu - January 15, 2026, 08:54:14 AM
PUBLIC NOTICE
The Prime Ministry wishes to announce that all significant Government business will take place on the Cabinet forum, and will accordingly be preserved for posterity and to assist future government decision-making.  This public commitment is in keeping with past practice, but we are publicizing and memorializing it as a formal policy decision for Talossan governance.

This and other postings will continue to be available on this page, and any significant changes will be accompanied by a public announcement.

Wittenberg / Re: [GOVT] Immigration Form Re...

Okay, so I've kept working on this when not occupied with management matters or the informal session stuff, and I've added logic to the system to automatically parse some things when processing applications for the public posting.  It will now automatically put in potential provincial assignments, delete social media info if the applicant wants it kept private, and alert the minister if any significant portions of the application are incomplete.

We're also able to be a lot more transparent about the process.  For example, I can easily report that we've gotten ten applications this month (plus two tests from me).  Of those, two have been bounced back with explanations that they're incomplete, one was processed and posted, and seven have not yet made Wittenberg accounts.
