Exceptions under Sections 32 & 33 of Chapter 7.6 of the Legal Code

Summary: These batch of exemptions were presented to the Regional Assembly by McMasterdonia in an effort to permit the North Pacific Army to target fascist regions in addition to regions that maintain embassies with region's previously exempted for their nazi ideologies. With little opposition, all five exemptions were passed by the Regional Assembly.

Results:

The Union of Dictators -
34 Ayes | 6 Nays | 10 Abstentions
Jon - 33 Ayes | 7 Nays | 10 Abstentions
People are Worthless - 34 Ayes | 6 Nays | 10 Abstentions
Pax Britannia - 38 Ayes | 5 Nays | 7 Abstentions
Fifth Empire - 39 Ayes | 4 Nays | 7 Abstentions

Status: All Exemptions Passed as of 3 May 2020



Confirmation of Holdac as Election Commissioner

Summary: Holdac was nominated to the Election Commission by then-Delegate McMasterdonia in mid-April of 2020. Due to their almost exclusive activity in the North Pacific's roleplay community, Holdac received many questions from their fellow citizens. After answering the questions proposed to them, Holdac's knowledge and understanding of the electoral procedure was sufficiently tested and they were later confirmed, by a majority, to take their seat and be admitted to the Election Commission.

Results: 29 Ayes | 5 Nays | 19 Abstentions

Status: Confirmed as of 4 May 2020



Delegate's Report Bill by RocketDog

Summary: The Delegate's Report Act was originally introduced to the Regional Assembly a year ago during El Fiji Grande's term as Delegate as a way to clarify when the executive administration was to give reports on its activities. After a period of dormancy for many months, discussion surfaced again in late March of 2020 and after a few revisions the bill later passed.

Results: 24 Ayes | 20 Nays | 10 Abstentions

Status: Passed as of 11 May 2020*

*Bill was subsequently vetoed by the Delegate after passage



Confirmation of Siwale as Election Commissioner

Summary: As a constantly active and notably consistent member for two terms prior, Siwale was nominated by then-Delegate McMasterdonia in early May of 2020 to continue their service on the Election Commission. In light of their invaluable experience in the role, Siwale was successfully confirmed as an Election Commissioner once again after little debate.

Results: 50 Ayes | 1 Nay | 1 Abstention

Status: Confirmed as of 15 May 2020



Confirmation of Artemis as Election Commissioner

Summary: After answering a few standard questions that North Pacifican citizens typically ask nominees to the Election Commission, Artemis was successfully confirmed as an Election Commissioner following their nomination by then-Delegate McMasterdonia in late April of 2020.

Results: 53 Ayes | 1 Nay | 3 Abstentions

Status: Confirmed as of 20 May 2020



The Incorporated Rum Pact

Summary: The Incorporated Rum Pact is a non-aggressions and communications agreement between the North Pacific and Lazarus that was passed by the Regional Assembly with a two-thirds majority vote.

Results: 38 Ayes | 5 Nays | 8 Abstentions

Status: Passed as of 29 May 2020

A few things:

1.) For the publishing BBCode, all "[ h ]" and "[ /h ]" tags will need to become "
" and "" tags.
2.) For the publishing BBCode, the segment author and their position alignment will need to be fixed by using the "[align=right]" and "[/align]" tags.
3.) I had trouble with some of the summaries. I didn't really know what to say, so feel free to shorten/change those.
4.) The Incorporated Rum Pact, which is currently at vote, will likely have its voting concluded by the time this publication is released. At which point I will move it under the section for passed motions and appropriately add the results of the vote.

Changes:

1.) The Security Council Application of Wonderess was added to the current business section of the highlights segment.
2.) The Delegate's Report Bill is now noted as having been subsequently vetoed by the Delegate via the addition of an asterisk and explanation.
3.) The BBCode spoiler has now been updated and features correct coding for NationStates dispatches.
4.) The list structure for the past exemptions was edited to remove the bullet points (I didn't like them).
5.) The Incorporated Rum Pact was moved to the passed section of the highlights segment and had its results properly recorded.
