The Speaker's Desk

The removal was noted here, by Quak (the question mark is indicative of confusion as to whether your would retain the administrator emeritus mask, one presumes, which is a matter for the Administration not this Office).

I referred to the post on the 19th as that is the post that is visible to myself and my Deputy, the post in the Mod HQ is not visible (as the Speaker, at least, no longer has the ability to see there, so far as I can tell, and it would be strange if the Deputy Speaker masking had retained that ability when that of the Speaker does not). The post of the 24th, though it is not the post that was used as it is not visible to myself or my Deputy, would have come to the same result, as Tomb has noted.
 
I am as sure as I am able to be without being privy to all private fora and sub-fora. I would say that, if it seems contrary to the law that posts in private fora are not considered by the Speaker's Office, due to the fact that to do so would require access to them so they can be checked, though they are still posts on the forum, then perhaps it would be possible to seek a judicial review. I would say it might be wiser to say that the law ought to amended to specify that it applies to public fora and provide some workable definition of public fora.

Alternatively, if the Administrative team were willing, then perhaps some solution could be found, in terms of having Administrators check those referred to them to have their masking changed for posts in private fora, however, I would assume that such extra busywork isn't really desired.
 
The spreadsheet script used for tracking citizens' posts does not need access to any private forums. It checks a user's post count on the day the check is run vs their recorded post count XX days before (I don't remember if that's 30 or something else, it's whatever the law says). If the post count has not increased, then the member has not made any new posts.

So, assuming that the Speaker's Office uses the script, they can be sure that there were no new posts, even in forums they do not have access to.

Looking at GBM's post history in all forums, she has a post on November 19th, another on November 24th, no posts in December. In 2016, her first post is on January 8th. Based on this, the Deputy Speaker was correct to request citizenship removal on December 28th.
 
Good evening all, thank you for electing me, it is good to be back as Speaker proper, and commiserations to JhawnathinJ.

I have two brief announcements, the first of which is that I am seeking a second Deputy Speaker and, if there is considerable interest, perhaps even a third. If you are interested in serving as Deputy Speaker then simply send a PM to either myself or Quak1234 with an expression of said interest and also brief answers to these questions: why are you interested and do you have any experience in office in TNP or other regional legislatures (experience is not a requirement).

The second announcement is that I'm interested in receiving feedback to a proposition relating to notifying members of lapses in their citizenship, the proposition can be found here and responses to it should also be made there.

Speaker Zyvetskistaahn,

As the result of a mistake in this recent post, Submersive's account was accidentally linked to my own, and I was remasked as a Former Resident. As you can see, my nation is still quite active. Could you please fix this for me?

Thank you so much for your time.

The telegram version of the digest is slightly different from the version posted here, as the telegram version includes an error in regards to Mister Masses' Massive Message that I did not notice before issuing it.
 
Firstly, when sending PMs to the citizens regarding the election as Election Commissioner, I found that the following names recorded in the Citizens registry were in error:

#speakers_office:
[23:15:25] <Eluvatar> The following citizen forum names are incorrect:
[23:16:55] <Eluvatar> obiwan1001 -> Antarticeuropa
[23:17:56] <Eluvatar> Lollard Pilgims -> Lollard Pilgrims
[23:18:14] <Eluvatar> Pasargard -> Pasargad
[23:19:33] <Eluvatar> Mr. T -> Mr.T
[23:20:21] <Eluvatar> Socio Polor1 -> Socio Polor01

Furthermore, I am in some confusion as to the status of Yuno. They are not listed in the Citizens registry, nor are they mentioned in a post in this topic, but from what I have been able to glean from the applications topic they have been a Citizen since May 8th. Clarification would be appreciated.

The forum names will be corrected (this is a recurrent difficulty that the Speaker's Office faces with name changes). Yuno was included in a list of persons granted citizenship in error by my Deputy, they had, in fact, failed the Admin check, and correcting that error I rejected their application and removed them from the rolls. Since that time they have reapplied for citizenship and, having passed checks by both the Vice Delegate and the Admin team, have been a citizen since the 8th of May (though the rolls have seemingly not been updated to reflect this).

EDIT: the rolls have now been updated to rectify the inaccuracies noted above.
 
It is possible to add a script to the spreadsheet that automatically updates forum names, as long as the forum profile IDs are accurate. It would work similarly to the script checking for last login time.

The changing forum names is the reason why all the other scripts used by the spreadsheet and which check the forum rely on profile IDs and not on the names themselves.

EDIT: I went ahead and added a new script "Check Forum Names", which automatically updates forum names using the listed forum IDs. The script is completely independent from the rest of the spreadsheet and its code, so if you'd rather not have it, I can just remove the code.

If you do like it and plan to use it, I would suggest updating other sheets in the spreadsheet that use forum names, to automatically copy them from the main "Citizens" sheet, rather than relying on the names being manually copied every time they are changed.
 
Dear speaker,

the NPA has asked that the following citizens have their NPA masking removed. Problem is, i am not sure with all of them whether they should be put in the Resident, former resident, member or citizen group.

As a favour to me, would you please run through them and let me know what group they should be in?

Can I also ask about the status of the following members:

Grossmania
BK1031
Fortunado
rolindb
snowangel526

After cross-checking the forum citizen mask/usergroup lists with the citizen registry, I found that the above members simultaneously:

1) are masked as citizens;
2) are not on the registry; and
3) there has been no request to have their citizenship removed.

Grossmania - Lucky for us that they haven't been on the forum in exactly 30 days (and thus haven't posted in that time.) Resident masking.
BK1031 - Their nation CTE'd. Former Resident.
Fortunado - CTE'd. Former Resident.
rolindb - CTE'd. Former Resident.
snowangel526 - CTE'd. Former Resident.

I hope this is what you were looking for?
 
Yep, many thanks :) .

For most of those I could determine that they were CTEed or likely residents, but before remasking I wanted to run them through the Speaker's Office first, to make sure I am not breaking your masking pipeline.

It's definitely no problem. ;)
 
Seeing that the Bill to guarantee the right to abstain has been vetoed, I'm curious how Article 3; Clauses 5 and 6 are to be applied in this situation. The clauses are:

5. The Delegate may veto a proposal of the Regional Assembly to enact, amend or repeal a law within one week of its passage.
6. The Regional Assembly may override such a veto by a two-thirds majority vote, which shall cause a proposal to take immediate effect.
To initiate such an override, does a proposal to do so have to be made in the RA? If so, by whom? The Bill's author? Any citizen? I'm just unclear if this process is automatic or not (as it is with rejected citizenship applications). Thank you.
 
The process of override must be begun by a motion from a citizen and is not automatic. Any citizen may move to override a veto and should do so in a different thread to the original vetoed Bill. It is not a legislative proposal and uses the non-legislative rules, so requires the second of another citizen. Once the motion has been seconded a vote on it will be scheduled, likely giving some time for debate, unless there has been extensive debate before the motion is made.

I think that answers your questions, but if you have any more feel free to ask.

Admin note to the Speaker's Office:

From a technical perspective, it is no longer necessary to specify a person's previous status when requesting a remasking. E.g., instead of:
Citizen -> Member:
HMS Unicorn

Resident -> Member:
mcmasterdonia
Click to expand...
you could simply request:
Make Member:
HMS Unicorn
mcmasterdonia
Click to expand...
It makes no difference whatsoever to admins which format you use. If it's easier for you to continue providing the original status, then feel free to do so.

I just thought I should point this out, in case not including the previous status makes your job easier.
 
I think that we will continue to specify the group a person is being moved from, so as to make it more clear to the citizenry generally what it is the Speaker's Office is requesting and also to make it easier for the Speaker's Office to answer queries which may be directed at it in relation to when and why a person lost a given status (to avoid, say, a person's removal from the residents group being mistaken as being their removal from the citizens group when they had already been removed from the latter earlier).
