As initially mentioned here:

The CRS should be allowed to ask the Delegate to grant or remove Border Control from nations as it sees fit. There are two specific use cases for this I can think of:

• A border control action needs to be performed that requires a significant amount of influence. The CRS could then, in order to save influence itself, ask a trusted non-CRS member (let's say Pencil Sharpeners 2) to perform that.
  
• A border control action needs to be performed close to the game-side update of our region, something which is ideally done by somebody from the SPSF (who, by definition, cannot be on the CRS), because SPSF Officers and above have an understanding of NationStates update timing and would know best when exactly to perform a certain action. There was a situation last term where it was considered between Cabinet+CRS to have me do that, actually, and though we ended up not doing that for a variety of reasons, it's still something that could come up.
  

A draft proposal:

3. Executive Discretion

(1) The Cabinet and/or Delegate may grant Communications, Appearance, and Polls powers to regional members as they see fit.

(2) The Council on Regional Security may grant Border Control powers to regional members as they see fit.

Thoughts?

I like it generally.  Which act is this part of, so I can read it in context?

I assume it's the Regional Officers Act?

While I am all for giving more power to choose Border Control officers, I am concerned as to there being no limitation on this whatsoever. I feel like there ought to be a check, like put it to vote in so and so branch of government or something of the sort. I can't help but remember various coups and corrupt activities in regions I've been in in the past.

You mean in case the entire CRS decides to coup?
