Mr. Speaker,

I rise with an enquiry for the Minister of Technology @Mic'haglh Autófil, O.Be

Minister Autofil, recalling your response to my enquiry concerning control of the back-end in May which was as follows:

I thank the Member for this question; the Ministry is working on getting the Burgermeister of Inland Revenue access to the team on DigitalOcean. While we likely could get by on having everything registered under the Ministry's email address, having people use personal funds to pay, and then reimbursing them from the Treasury, it seems to me a much cleaner option for the future to simply set up direct payment now and cut out the middleman.

What is the status of the Burgermeister's access to the team on DigitalOcean?

Estimat Tuischac'h,

I thank the Member for his inquiry; I am pleased to report that the Burgermeister of Inland Revenue has successfully been added to, and can access, the Talossa team on DigitalOcean. He is working to connect a payment method within the next few days (he tells me it will not allow for Paypal, but we have a debit card number available as well).

In the meantime, I will work with the Permanent Secretary of Backend Administration to prepare for the transition; because we are copying the server state between Droplets (which I am told was easier than transferring Droplet ownership), this will necessitate a brief period of downtime for the nation's server. I will try to ensure that the transition and accompanying downtime are scheduled toward the end of the month in which they occur, to avoid any interruption to Clark voting/tabulation and the call for bills, but in any event will notify the nation publicly of when the downtime is scheduled for once it is so scheduled.
