I want to commend the Prime Minister on nominating a Cabinet which, if confirmed, will have more first-time Cabinet Ministers than old timers. I think that’s something we haven’t had for a while and goes to show the benefits of giving the PM a bit of room to work to match legislators to roles.
I want to admit that the current General Corps (including me) has been pretty crap at providing a sustainable and clear pathway for training and I’m hopeful that your fresh energy will help with that. Do you have any specific proposals for training besides “we need to remember to do it”? (Which is a great proposal.)
Would you be willing/able to also post reports in Dispatch form and on our forum? I believe in cross-platform coverage, which is something we (including me) have been missing with past reports.
I’m excited to see what you’ll bring to the position.
@EmC (actually, kinda more a question for @ProfessorHenn tbh):
Em talked about this in her campaign and it was one of the things I most definitely agreed with. The current World Assembly Act is outdated and just doesn’t match our current model of government.
Will you be proposing the legislation to the Assembly to get this task done? Will you be delegating that task to Em as OWL Director?
@Pronoun: Your plans for the term outline good principles, but they leave me with one enormous question. What are you going to do?
Specifically, what is the one integration project you will get launched this term if you get nothing else done? Why?
We often have pie in the sky ideas in this area especially that never come to fruition. They take the form of big proposals and threads for public input and then projects that stall out and don’t get implemented before the end of a term. It’s been almost 2 years at this point, and Luca’s resignation from the old Ministry of Engagement is pretty much still spot-on to our way of doing business. Especially given your emphasis on diverse and streamlined pathways without actually naming something to accomplish, I have concerns we’ll continue in our old pattern of “promise miraculous perfect fixed streamlined system, never accomplish the change, term ends and new Minister appears with as little direction as the previous”.
Please assuage my concerns.
@Legend : I’m actually pretty excited by your nomination. I don’t think we have always (or often) agreed, but I think you’re active and invested in the region’s success, and that alone merits both recognition and an opportunity to prove yourself, which I’m glad the Prime Minister is giving you. That said, your platform is big on aspirations and low on plans.
Can you please give an example of an event that you will run?
What is an example of an activity you will do in order to accomplish this goal?
How will you accomplish this?
@Maverick: No questions. You’re going to do great. You’ve always been a capable and dedicated advocate of the RP community, and I don’t doubt your ability to grow and expand your community.
