I fully intend to make every cabinet member liable for the actions of their subordinates and responsible for the activity required by the position. If not said member will be replaced by one of their own subordinates.

No government office will go inactive under my watch,

Management of our embassies.

Source: THIS THREAD

I have been an ambassador since November 10th, but this is largely a paper exercise, since no updates have been published, and no instructions given to ambassadors.

On 15th November, Kor promised an update "in a couple of days". It never materialised.

on 14th December I posted a direct question to Ann about this. SHe has not responded.

Management of foreign embassies

Source: THIS THREAD

On 5th December, TKR requested an embassy/consulate
On 12th and 14th december they poked.
On 15th December Ann apologised for the delay, and granted the consulate.
It still has not been opened.



It is not as if Ann is inactive. She is running for Mayor in TWP. She is just inactive HERE.

In a time of war and where NS is becoming increasingly shaped by a web of alliances and alignments, our Foreign office should be the most active aspect of the region.

A simple question:

Will you keep to your promise on election, and replace Ann?
 
Who would you suggest I replace her with? We didn't even have any volunteers for election Commishioners. We are in holiday lull at the moment. I had some one lined for the MOD job...but she is also inactive.

We have about 2 weekes left for this term. Choosing someone now who may just be replaced seems pretty pointless. I was hoping that more people ran for positions this upcoming term and I could find some active members to take those spots that need activity.

What are your intentions with this (it's pretty obvious but I'd rather not assume) ? Especially since I spoke to you yesterday and you never brought it up then.

I am not sure what you mean about "intentions". I only started thinking about this after I had spoken to you, and it seemed to be a thing for a public thread rather than a private conversation. Government ought not just to be accountable - it ought to be seen to be accountable.

Perhaps you ought to state openly what you feel is obvious to you, because it is not obvious to me, and probably others. I will admit to being disappointed that a term that began with so much activity and promise seems to have petered out somewhat. But that is stating an opinion, not an intention.

Regarding the MOFA, I would say that two weeks of activity would be better than two more weeks of inactivity, but that is up to you. Heck, I would do the job myself if it would get something done.

Of course it should. Hence why I post what I am doing and up to.

It seemed obvious to me that this was meant to shed a bad light on my short term. Just in time for elections too.

The gov has only slowed these past 2 weeks. I don't remember seeing this much concern when Elu went inactive twice for more that 2 weeks each time during his term. At that time, even though I was not working in the government the second time, I contacted GBM and others to make sure we didn't get overtaken and also tried to see who had spoken to Elu. I did much more than that and didn't try to make it a public spectacle either. Most times action is a better course than just talking.

No offense to you Elu.
 
Meh. I see no point in responding more to this. If you want to see ulterior motives, that is up to you. I have highlighted the problem and, yes, volunteered to help sort it out, even for two weeks. The ball is in your court now.
 
This is the first holiday period we've had under the current Constitution. At this time last year we had just adopted the current constitution, and we were in a transistional mode.

While inactivity this time of year is something that can be anticipated, it requires advanced planning to minimize disruptions, and we as a region weren't as well prepared as we might have been. (Of course, poorly written and thought out legislation contributed to the problem this year; hopefully, we'll have a better handle opn things after the holidays and the election.

I'm hoping to go through the measures that failed that had flaws that could be fixed to bring them forward in the RA after the elections are over. As an example there were efforts this last year to try and fix the Legal Code, especially the laws that were holdovers from the last Constitution, and which weren't adopted because of sleath provisions that would have made substantial change without a separate discussion and vote. That's something that can be easily remedied if care is taken in the development process.
 
Thanks Gross.

Flem: Then when Ann posts her resignation or I remove her...just post an oath and the job is yours. The requirements and what needs to be done is already in that forum.
 
I would like to kindly point out that I do agree with most, if not all of Flem's posts here.

I myself have been willing to serve and help out the government, especially in Interior, Defence, and Foreign Affairs. Unfortunately, maybe due to issues of discrimination or something, I've not been able to be given a chance to serve and help out the government become more active.

It also makes things a bit more difficult when I am unable to contact any government officials and am unfairly prevented from being allowed to access the IRC channels, one channel of which is supposedly for government business and there has been no legal standing to show any validity for preventing a member of the RA from access like any other RA member, except for personal bias and discrimination.
 
Govindia.

Take a look at the assignments thread in the Diplomatic Corps forum. If there are vacant embassies you would like to cover, please post in that thread.

I can use the help.
 
Flem, check the MOFA area, i've already been assigned ambassador areas by Ann, and was never contacted via PM about stuff as the other ambassadors were. I am hoping as MOFA you intend to correct this issue so that I'm as accurately informed as you have been with the other ambassadors? :ADN:
 
That's odd. I checked the list of ambassador postings and did not see your name. May be my oversight. If you are an ambassador, please post the latest update in your assigned region.
