PRESS RELEASE Nomination of anjo to Legislator Committee 2 January 2022 Fellow South Pacificans, Recently, there have been challenges with timely processing of Legislator applications by the Legislator Committee, which were highlighted in this Assembly discussion thread. Reasons cited by the Legislator Committee for the backlog included lack of available LegComm members. Subsequently, LegComm accepted open applications for new members of the Legislator Committee with intent to recommend a new member to the Cabinet for nomination. The Cabinet is pleased to announce @anjo as our nominee to join the Legislator Committee. @anjo has government experience in the South Pacific, having served in the past as OWL Director and currently beginning his second term as Chair of the Assembly. In these positions, anjo has been consistently active on a daily basis and has demonstrated punctuality, discretion, and professionalism in handling procedural matters. Given the current issues in LegComm related to prompt handling of applications, anjo is an ideal candidate to fill the current vacancy. One concern may be about anjo's lack of Gameplay/FA knowledge, and therefore that anjo may not be fully ready for some of the security tasks of LegComm. However, LegComm is currently well-staffed in terms of Gameplay/Security knowledge with Roavin, Nakari, and Witchcraft & Sorcery on its roster. Additionally, anjo does stay aware of the broader gameplay landscape as a TSP Ambassador and has expressed a willingness to learn more. Another concern, perhaps, is a conflict of interest with the role of Chair, however this question has been addressed previously when Nakari was elected Chair while also a member of the Legislator Committee and served the duration of her term as Chair while a member of the Legislator Committee. Additionally, there are few specific scenarios where the duty of admitting legislators would conflict with the duty of the Chair. Chair, with the power vested in me as Prime Minister of the Coalition, I declare that the Cabinet has in good faith appointed anjo to serve as member of the Legislator Committee in accordance with per Article 1, Section 2 of the Legislator Committee Act, and request that the corresponding Assembly procedure is initiated. Faithfully yours, Prime Minister HumanSanity on behalf of the Cabinet
