Council operation changed

After a decision of the Council in june this year to change the way the Council is run, the board administration has finally implemented the changes. The new procedures is as follows: all discussions and drafted bills that were formerly held either in a forum called "Things that go bump in the night" or in the Council itself, are now all to be started in the council. Once a bill is ready to be voted upon, the Secretary of the Region or the Vice President (depending on the type of proposal) will open a poll in the newly created "Voting Chamber". Only in that forum, official and legally valid council polls are held. Question about the council operation can be asked to the Department of the Region, the board administration or your local government official.

Vote on Succession Law

In the beginning of this year, a discussion had risen over a successor to the current martial law, because the "Martial law is entirely full of loopholes and is about as watertight as fishnet tights," according to Fudgie, who wrote the original draft of the bill. Now, after having been in the refridgerator for several months, the secretary of the region put the bill again to our attention and started the voting, the poll can be found in the voting chamber and will be open until tuesday 6th of September.

No delegate contest

Earlier this week, a nation named Sangrecruz had stated the plan to run for the office of delegacy of the South Pacific. This after being invited to announce the intentions, after a quick rise in endorsement level. Sangrecruz' main message was that he or she had a fresh look on the region because of being new, although the nation had a few ideas for change. However, after the critical questions from many member nations, as is common practice in the region, Sangrecruz backed down and announced to drop all endorsements. The full discussion can be found in the delegates office under "brave little toaster declarations"
