I hereby announce the creation of OAII, an organization open to all members of the IDS.  The goal of the OAII is to promote southern interests on all levels of government and to provide a body for all southerners to discuss and come to a consensus on issues they find important.

If you want to join, just say so and I'll add you to the members list.  Once we have a number of participants, we can begin drafting an agenda.

Just a suggestion, but how about we design a logo that incorporates the coat of arms of the Imperial House of Jbrase. The first Emperor, the current Emperor, and our Regional/Emperial Senator all are part of the IHJ after all. Grin

Nice.  That ought to go on the wiki.

I suggest we begin creating our agenda with a simple statement:

"The OAII will strive to breathe new life into the IDS and Atlasia as a whole by inviting southerners from the Atlas to join the game, regardless of their political orientation."

If someone will second that, it can go to a vote.

     You know, our region needs a seal since the old one was lost long ago. I was planning to open a discussion on it whenever the queue cleared out, but I'm fine with just going for that one.

Thank you JBrase.  The following statement is up to vote (to be included in the OAII's Agenda):

"The OAII will strive to breathe new life into the IDS and Atlasia as a whole by inviting southerners from the Atlas to join the game, regardless of their political orientation."

This was a bit ad-hoc; we probably should have nominated someone for chair first, then drafted, rules, then started working on the agenda.  Since I set it up, I'll go ahead and declare myself imperial overlord until the vote on the agenda items is completed.  Then, the floor will open for Chairmanship nominations and rules submissions.

As such, the voting on this piece will last for roughly the next hour.  By the end of that period, if a majority of all votes cast are in the affirmative, the item will be officially added to the agenda.

Aye.

The measure passes unanimously.  Now for the chairman's position.  If you want to be it, just say so and get someone to second you.  FWI, I would like to keep my spot as the OAII is still in its infancy.  Supporters will receive a personally delivered plate of evil cookies!

     Yelnoc for Chairman sounds like a good idea.

Perhaps we should organize and annual Southern Pride Day to raise awareness for the millions of southerners living outside the IDS.

Thankee.  I suppose our next order of business shall be drafting rules.  Below is a quick suggestion, things I think ought to be codified to prevent spats (not that I think any of you nice people would ever argue Grin).

I didn't think the organization's goals, mission, etc. should be included in the by-laws, as it could conceivably change (though I'm no legal expert so feel free to contradict me).  Does anyone have any comments or suggestions for the rules?

     I think we should include a very brief mission statement like the goal you outlined in the initial post as a preamble to the bylaws. I agree that any further development of that should be strictly outside of the bylaws, however.

I'll join this here thang.

As for rules, just as nitpicking: The Chairman must currently be registered as a citizen of the IDS?
