Today (August 15) the Cabinet held a public meeting/Q&A via Discord. To start the meeting, I delivered the following report, which I've copy and pasted here both to provide an update on MoD activities and to provide an opportunity for those not on Discord or who missed the meeting to ask me questions in this thread.

Since the last Cabinet meeting, SPSF has been active in the field and I have a few behind the scenes updates.

SPSF aided in the liberation of Nasunia, a role playing region, on July 25. 10 SPSF Personnel assisted in the liberation, with SPSF Officer @឵Luca setting triggers for the operation for all liberating forces. This liberation was particularly significant because the original raid was only successful due to an act of espionage against our allies, 10000 Islands, and this show of strength by SPSF and our partners has demonstrated that efforts to interfere with our allies are futile and will be met with firm response. I wrote about the operation here: https://tspforums.xyz/thread-9471-post-2...#pid219210

SPSF also led the liberation of Chaylia, a new social region using the non-executive founder feature to experiment in regional democracy. 12 different SPSF personnel participated across two updates. Additionally, SPSF Officer Luca set triggers for the operation and I headed foreign coordination and outreach efforts for the defender coalition. Commander @Witchcraft and Sorcery and @Quebecshire were also involved in leadership. I wrote a special report on the operation here: https://tspforums.xyz/thread-9631.html

In terms of personnel, we're pleased to announce that @Conexia has been promoted from Trainee to Soldier. Conexia has been in the SPSF a while but has recently started attending update regularly, and we're happy to have them more involved. Additionally, @Moon has begun training to become an Officer.
In terms of infrastructure projects, these had stalled out due to RL obligations by myself. However, with Luca's assistance, the member-specific records project's release is imminent. After that, my goal before the end of the term is to do the SPSF Dispatch revamp, set up a system for members to produce their own SPSF promotional materials, and organizing the private SPSF sub-forum.

Finally, with the administrative ban of Melix, who was the Tidal Force coordinator, the program had stalled out. After remaining at home to facilitate our own Delegate transition, Tidal Force resumed its normal detag schedule in a joint effort between myself and the General Corps, and made a brief pause from that to help fortify Chaylia after its raid. At the moment, there is no obvious candidate for Tidal Force coordinator, so I will continue leading the project myself.
