[Terpelaziun] Minister of Technology (Oct 2)

[Breneir Tzaracomprada]

Túischac'h:

I direct this enquiry to the Minister of Technology @Mic'haglh Autófil, SMC EiP and refer to his words from 1 August concerning the expected process for convening a new national database:

Regarding the replacement of the National Database, I envision the process basically working as follows:

Consult with the Chancery regarding Database tasks to prioritize replacement
Hold a brief public consultation regarding preferred method of replacement
Begin to port functionality over to this new database.

Minister Autofil, please report to the Ziu as to where you are in the above-mentioned process.

[Breneir Tzaracomprada]

Gentle reminder for @Mic'haglh Autófil, SMC EiP
This enquiry is still outstanding.

[Mic’haglh Autófil, SMC EiP]

Estimat Túischac'h,

I thank the Member for his question.

On the first step of the process, I can report that my adapted-FMEA process with the Secretary of State produced useful results; in accordance with the findings, Ministry personnel will be paying particular attention to how easy the new database makes it for the Chancery to add MZ's to a new Ziu term, as well as the processes by which Clarks are populated with bills and published for the Ziu to vote on. Apart from the occasional follow-up question with the Chancery which may arise, it would be appropriate to consider this step complete.

On the second step, we are nearing a few options in internal deliberations that I believe will be worth bringing to the public, keeping in mind this Government's other goals (for example, keeping as much of Talossa's digital infrastructure as possible on nationally-administered server space, and using "tailor-fit" solutions where possible). I would look for this discussion within a week or two, following the wrapping up of a few loose ends in our internal discussion.

The third step, of course, is contingent on completion of the second, but is also somewhat reliant on the Ministry's other main goal of re-nationalizing our web server presence. On that note, I am pleased to report that we should also be announcing a major development there in the near future (on a similar timeframe to the database-solution discussion).

I thank the Minister for his reply. And will follow-up next month.
