Declaration of Absence
Per Section 7.8.48 of the Legal Code, I am declaring that I will be absent from the office of Delegate effective immediately for a period of one week. As required by Section 7.8.51 of the Legal Code, I will declare when I am resuming my duties in a subsequent post. As you may know, I am currently overseas and I have found that there are too many distractions for me to fulfill the duties of this office properly. This is not a total absence as I am still able to be online at least daily and keep myself appraised of any important things happening, but I believe at this time it is best to leave the responsibilities of the office to someone who can be more active than myself.
Pursuant to Article 3.12 of the Constitution, Vice Delegate @Chipoli will assume my duties as Delegate for the duration of this absence. Pursuant to the same, the next highest member of the Line of Succession who is available will assume the duties of Vice Delegate for the duration of this absence. Following prior precedent, as @Pallaith is currently serving in a constitutionally-mandated elected position as Justice and has further indicated he does not intend to assume these duties, @Siwale will assume the duties of the Vice Delegate.
