Appointment of a Deputy Minister for World Assembly Affairs
#1

I'd like to petition the Cabinet to create the office of Deputy Minister for World Assembly Affairs.

Presumably this position would fall within the scope of the Office of the Delegate and Vice Delegate. Although the Charter doesn't make any explicit reference to the World Assembly outside of requirements for citizenship and certain government positions, it is the Delegate who ultimately votes on World Assembly resolutions.

This position would have the following responsibilities:
  • creating threads on these forums (specifically the World Assembly sub-forums) for resolutions at vote and optionally proposals that have reached quorum;
  • conducting polls of residents of the South Pacific on resolutions at vote on the corresponding thread and optionally through in-game polls;
  • providing advisory opinions on how residents of the South Pacific should vote on resolutions on the corresponding thread and optionally on the regional message board or by regional telegram;
  • including links to the WA resolutions at vote and the corresponding threads in the World Factbook Entry;
  • providing proposal drafting assistance to residents of the South Pacific; and
  • optionally spearheading development of proposals collaboratively drafted by the South Pacific.
In order to fulfill these responsibilities, the holder of this position would be granted the following privileges:
  • moderation powers over the World Assembly sub-forums;
  • the ability to create in-game polls; and
  • the ability to send regional telegrams and edit the World Factbook Entry.
I think creating such a position would be an excellent first step towards fostering greater involvement by residents of the South Pacific in the World Assembly, especially given that both Tsunamy and Drugged Monkeys have stated that they don't have any plans to work on this during their term. We'd also be following the excellent example of many other major regions with significant WA involvement, such as the North Pacific and Europeia.
