Northeast Assembly Thread II

[Clyde1998]

I'm happy for dkrol to become speaker.

[DKrol]

Thank you all for your support. I look forward to working with you all.

[pikachu]

With the opening of the new Assembly, nominations for Speaker will open for 24 hours.

I nominate dkrol.

[DKrol]

I accept the nomination.

[Prince of Salem]

I'll support DKrol for Speaker

[Clyde1998]

I'll support DKrol for Speaker

[Dr. Cynic]

I'm fine with him as Speaker. He wants the job, let him have it.

Though, this happens rather frequently. Every time, bar once or twice, I've been here, it's always a seemingly one horse race for the job. We need to at some point think about at least having a proper contest at some point.

[DKrol]

I thank the Assembly for their confidence in me.

[pikachu]

Congratulations to dkrol for winning! (I'm really sorry about not being able to close the booth on time. Finals+other things are being a strain.)

Does anyone know where the current version of the SOAP is? I want to put in the Civic Information Thread, but I can't find a complete, updated version since bore made his amendments.

I think it's this: https://uselectionatlas.org/AFEWIKI/index.php/Northeast_SOAP

I'm not sure if any amendments have been made since this was last updated.

[DKrol]

I do not have access to a computer until tomorrow afternoon. I encourage the longest serving Representative to step in and handle the outstanding matters until that time.

Is everyone fine with me not opening the Speaker election until Monday (or before if we have 4 people in the Assembly) considering RGN's loa and whatever's going on with twistory?

[SUSAN CRUSHBONE]

sure

[The Other Castro]

Twistory will not be taking office, and there will be a special election to fill his seat. In the meantime, it's just the four of us, so I'm fine with waiting for RGN.

[free my dawg]

I've appointed DemPGH to serve, so we'll have five.

[pikachu]

I've appointed DemPGH to serve, so we'll have five.

Ok. I'll start nominations when he swears in.

[pikachu]

With PGH swearing in, nominations for Speaker will now be open for 24 hours.

[pikachu]

I nominate Castro.

[The Other Castro]

I accept the nomination, thank you pikachu.

[pikachu]

It looks as if Castro has won the Speakership.

[The Other Castro]

Well, that was a tough race. So, is the session open now or are we waiting for RGN?

[pikachu]

The session's open, and RGN's leave ends today regardless.

Unfortunately, the proposed Amendment to the Constitution passed by the last Assembly wasn't put up for a vote in the June elections.  In order to make sure that we satisfy the Northeast Constitution, somebody probably needs to re-propose it and the Assembly needs to revote on it.  If this is done before July 10, the referendum should be put to the voters July 24-26, under my reading of the Northeast Constitution.  And it probably should have a better name this time - Assembly Inactivity Amendment or something like that, perhaps?

If the Governor or one of the Northeast Representatives doesn't place this into the queue, I will consider doing so by citizen initiative.

Thanks.

[The Other Castro]

As tomorrow is July 4th, it will be counted as a non-sitting day. Although members of the Assembly may still participate in open business, tomorrow shall not be counted in determining the duration of debates and votes. Have a happy Fourth of July everyone!
