@Lord Dominator has been appointed to the Election Commission by the Delegate. Noting that this nomination is subject to confirmation by the Regional Assembly, I hereby open the floor to debate and discussion on this matter. I invite the Delegate to give a statement in support of the nominee.
Motion:
Vacating office is different from a resignation.
You may not be aware of this nominee’s history, but he is known for losing office because he didn’t log in often enough, or losing citizenship because his nation ceased to exist. It’s happened more than once, in more than one office, including elected ones.
I agree that vacating office and resignation are procedurally different.
I may not be familiar with this nominee’s history. However, I do not think it is appropriate to use this nominee as a basis for making generalizations about other nominees.
Who is doing that? I didn’t pose this to any other nominee, just the one who has made a habit of losing his offices due to not showing up. I’m not even inherently opposed to his returning to the EC. But this has to be acknowledged after so many times it has taken place.
It’s an entirely fair thing to pose to me specifically and the same reason why I am willing to say that I won’t seek EC again should I vacate (or not post an oath) office in the same manner as I have in the past - I do indeed have a history of it that others don’t.
Setting that expectation for yourself is a fair and responsible approach. I support you.
Thanks for the context. I think it's acceptable when viewed on a personal level.
