Sense of the Ziu: Humanitarian Aid Fund
WHEREAS Talossa exemplifies in extraordinary ways the true nature of nationhood; and

WHEREAS Talossa has a conscience, and a will to act on that conscience; and

WHEREAS Talossa consists of friends, countrymen and lovers, whose communal existence defines them; and

WHEREAS Talossa consists of humans - a species to which a high calling is to aid those in grave need; and

WHEREAS Talossa recognises, with its conscience, as a community, as humans, that it has a duty to its fellow man;

THEREFORE, the sense of the Ziu is that, under the auspices of the Ministry of Finance, a Humanitarian Aid Fund should be created, with the follows points of operation:

I. The fund shall consist of voluntary contributions held by the Ministry of Finance and accounted for in its regular reports; of budgetary earmarks, if the government operates under budgeting legislation; or of individual legislative earmarks, if the government does not operate under such.

II. It is recommended that the Minister of Finance select appropriate channels for dispensation to the best of his judgement, after consulting with the Seneschal. Initial recipients might include the Tibetan Government-in-Exile (a fellow government unfortunately, and hopefully temporarily, separated from its people), or the American Himalaya Fund; Medicins Sans Frontieres; and an appropriate Burmese-focussed charity.
