Council of Governors - Next steps

[Eðo Grischun]

El Lexhatx

D. The Government

9. The Ziu authorises the formation of a Council of Governors (el Cußéglh del Governadéirs in Talossan, abbreviated CG) to be comprised of each provincial executive, whether he or she is called "Governor" or not.

9.1. The Minister of the Interior shall call the Council into order no later than the first day of the first Clark of each Cosa term. Each provincial executive shall accept his or her seat in the Council no later than the last day of that Clark. (51RZ9)

9.1.1. If the executive of a province does not accept his or her seat by the specified time, the Minister of the Interior may appoint a resident of that province to the Council, who shall serve until the executive of that province accepts his or her seat. The Minister of the Interior shall not appoint him or herself to the Council in this manner. (51RZ9)

9.2. The Council shall meet and operate under rules of its own design. (51RZ9)

9.3. The Governor-General of Talossa shall be the leader of the Council, chosen by a majority of the Council members (who are the collective governors and provincial leaders of Talossa). In matters provincial, the Governor-General shall serve as a liaison to the Government of Talossa, to serve at the behest of the Council of Governors. (32RZ10) (51RZ9)

9.4. If a member of the Council ceases to be a provincial executive, he or she shall immediately lose his or her seat in the Council. The new executive of the province shall have one month to accept his or her seat in the Council, after which the Minister of the Interior may appoint a resident of that province to the Council, who shall serve until the new provincial executive accepts his or her seat. (51RZ9)

9.5. If a province is without an executive, the Minister of the Interior may appoint a resident of that province to the Council, who shall serve until the province elects an executive and that executive accepts his or her seat. (51RZ9)

Per the relevant statutes above, I name Antaglha Xhenerös Somelieir of Atatürk, Amada Merþedes of Cézembre and Miestrâ Schivâ, UrN of Fiôvâ to fill the missing seats until their provinces elect new executive officers.


Members of the Council of Governors for the 54th Cosa are thus:

Atatürk	Antaglha Xhenerös Somelieir
Benito	E.S. Bornatfiglheu
Cézembre	Amada Merþedes
The Free Province of Fiôvâ	Miestrâ Schivâ, UrN
Florencia	Breneir Itravilatx
Maricopa	Þon Txoteu É. Davinescu
Maritiimi-Maxhestic	Ian Plätschisch
The United Provinces of Vuode and Dandenburg	Viteu Marcianüs

At this time, I ask the council to direct attention to LEX.D.9.2 and LEX.D.9.3 (quoted above).

At this stage I have completed my statutory duties in getting things to this point and as such should be stepping away and letting the Council do it's thing, however I wonder if it would be helpful and desirable for me to continue on in a facilitator capacity to conduct the internal election for Governor-General on behalf of the council?


(I would also suggest that once a Governadeir Xheneral has been elected, then that person's province hosts the council's proceedings (ie: the discussions could move to the provincial sub-forum of the G-X's province)).

[Eðo Grischun]

Anyone?

I was hoping the council would have either given me permission to act as a facilitator or move forward by itself.

I'm just going to push forward until I get slapped down. So, electing a Governor-General...

Nominations open till the end of Clark. Voting will then take place (method tbd) until end of month.

Nominations, please?

[Miestrâ Schivâ, UrN]

a) I vote Ián P. for Governor-General.
b) I vote Eðo for facilitator.
c) I suggest we open discussion of provincial mergers.

Tagging all regarding last posts.
Please make nominations.
This window will close with the closing of the Clark (Next weekend).
If no other nominations are made then there will be no need for an election.
Ian P, being uncontested, will be asked to serve as G-X and I will move discussions to M-M for hosting the Council.

(When discussions begins in the host province, I think it will also be on NewWitt. So, if nothing happens between now and Friday, then we move to M-M on NewWitt)

Per my last,

If no other noms are made before Friday, then Ian will become G-X, we move to M-M and I will open that discussion at the weekend.

(Which reminds me, I've still to answer V's post in Vuode) - Getting to it, V.

Ian Plätschisch,

Looks like you're it.

As far as I can tell the role of the Governor-General is simply to be the official liaison between this council and my Ministry. Seeing as I'm keeping my oar in these waters, the role probably won't demand any additional time or effort and is merely a statutory formality.

So, unless you desperately protest against it, you're the new G-X (the very first?).

I'll open discussions in M-M shortly.
