Preamble: As a party built out of chaos, it has long been our mission to preserve what we have while seeing to strengthen it to protect us from a rouge or authoritarian government rising once again. While we continue to dedicate ourselves to this purpose, we see a need for this party to evolve beyond its founding platform. So, in the spirit of progress, we, the members of the APC, have created a platform we belive can serve as the foundation to guiding TSP to new highs, and we, the undersigned members, shall dedicate ourselves to the fulfillment of its goals.
Above all else, I hope to be a decent person.
Has Been What's Next? CoA: August 2016-January 2017
Minister of Foreign Affairs: October 2019-June 2020, October 2020- February 2021
Good start, how about these changes?

Not a lot of changes, just some fixed typos and word changes. Thoughts? @everyone? -Griffindor/Ebonhand

It looks good - might just remove or rewrite the second "we, the members of the APC," in the last sentence.

Here is my suggestion for the CoA:
Quote:The Assembly of The South Pacific is the most critical organ of democracy in the South Pacific, as such, we believe that all nations wishing to join should be able to, barring they are not joining in bad faith. It is a core pillar of this party to reduce toxicity, and sadly, the Assembly at the time of this platform adoption is quite toxic. As a party, we will strive to reduce the toxicity and allow for every member to speak without fear of backlash or slander. The Chair of the Assembly is one of the most important jobs in the region, if not the most important, the party believes that breaking the Chair's duties into something more manageable is the best way to preserve that office, and have it desired, and not as a "if I must" office. The APC as a whole desires to draft legislation in the assembly, and as such would work towards court reform, Assembly reform, laws regarding transparency and political parties, and any future laws that gain the parties interest.Here is my suggestion for Transparency: Quote:Transparency is key to any nations survival, without it, corruption can run rampant with no check. As such, the APC have continuously released private party chats, held public endorsement votes, held public party summits, the APCRC also has released their government logs every month for public viewing. We believe that even if a group, organization, or party isn't obligated to release information under the Sunshine Act, they should still do so. In keeping with this, the APC believes that all government agencies, political parties, administration threads, and password protected forums should be released in regular intervals, so long as they would not threaten regional security.Here is my suggestion for the CRS: Quote:The Council of Regional Security are the gatekeepers of the coalition, and as such is the line of defense that protects the region from invaders and potential bad actors who seek to harm the region and its democratic process. We believe that the CRS, must be accountable for its actions, and must not be too far out of reach of the Assembly, which is why, the party supports periodic reconfirmation of CRS members on a regular basis. The party also believes that the CRS should branch out into an Intel committee and one for regional protection. This would allow for trusted members of the coalition to become members for the purpose of rooting out potential threats.What do y'all think of this?? (All we need now is a final RA, LC, and, Preamble) -Griffindor/Ebonhand

Here is my first draft:
Quote:The Ministry of Regional Affairs is tasked to inform and entertain the citizens in The South Pacific and the rest of the regions. In order for the ministry to function efficiently, it should be divided into two departments, namely: Culture and Outreach, and Communications, as the current workload for the minister is very heavy. With this split, these ministries will be able to produce more quality outputs.

Yes to everything. Preamble edits look good and I like this platform all around! Also it has been great to see people other than me be running this summit, it gives me great hope for the future of this party!

So, just remembering that platforms are for a year or until the next summit.
I disagree that toxicity is the biggest problem in the Assembly and also think we need to differentiate between healthy argument and what is toxicity on Discord and the forum side Assembly. I probably also recommend that we have a major legislative or Assembly related goal (maybe relating to the position breakdown) that isn't just about toxicity. The rest looks good. With the CRS having two branches or tiers sounds good actually and is a definite goal.
