Hello everyone!
As we enter the summer period, where people are away (I'll have limited activity from the 4th July to the 19th) and loving the good weather, I thought I'd give you all an update on whats happening over the next month as we begin to implement the range of changes that have been discussed in the Council Lobby.
Ministries
Currently, there is a Constitutional Amendment at vote which will change the Ministry of Labor to the Ministry of Culture. It is looking like it will pass, the next stage is a Council vote, should that pass I'd like to have the new role up and running by the 25th July.
With this in mind, the Council of Nine will vote on points 2, 3 and 4 here. This will complete the current round of reforms, empower the Chief of Staff with new powers and create the Master of Tacos role.
Frontier
We are still currently working to develop and launch our Frontier Region A Taco Paradise. If you would like to be involved in this process, please get in touch! We need more WA volunteers to begin the next stage.
Houses
I'll be liaising with the House Stewards here, to begin the implementation of the House reforms!
Additional legislative reforms
By the 25th July, I will have the following laws enacted:
Political party reform - Current parties will be archived, but still accessible in line with new legislation
Lyonneesse East Senator reforms - will see the Senator help develop the houses and removes the house report.
The Paffnia Rotunda - will be established with offices and archives being moved around a bit so that it will be easier to use.
The Minister of Education
Thank you to everyone who has helped with this!
Elections and getting involved
I'll be away for two weeks but elections will obviously continue as normal. This cycle sees Lyonnesse East and Himes West up for grabs! Be sure to have registered on the forum by next Tuesday (11th July) to be able to vote.
With all the changes we will have the following vacancies:
Emissaries - help us get to know our allies abroad!
Governor of A Taco Paradise - this job will be coming up soon, if you're interested in helping manage our Frontier let me know!
Master of Tacos - want to help our economy here on the forum? This is the job for you!
Cultural Officers - With the ministry changing we'll need new cultural officers to help out. Get in touch!
Empire of Power Day - July 30th
We're developing a program of events to help celebrate the 20th Anniversary of one of the most important events for 10000 Islands. If you have any ideas or want to be involved, please let me know!
Building the Islands
Aschente, our Minister for Immigration has been hard at work developing our use of DOT. However, now we need you to help us recruit.
More information here! Recruiting using this method is easier, more engaging and will help our region. A few minutes a day will help us reach so many more nations. We need your help!
