Hey guys ... I'd like to propose a quick change to the citizenship clause in the Charter. In light of Pen being a bit tied up IRL, but not gone, I'd like to propose this minor change.

Section 2 - Acceptance and Removal

1. Citizenship applications will be reviewed by the Vice Delegate.
2. Upon review the applicant may be either conditionally approved or denied by the Vice Delegate.
3. Upon the applicant being conditionally approved the forum administration staff will conduct a security check to ensure the applicant is not using a proxy, is not trying to avoid a forum ban, and is not a citizen using a different nation. In the event that an applicant is found to be using a proxy, attempting to avoid a forum ban, or applying for citizenship on multiple nations their application will be denied and not subject to appeal.
4. Citizenship applications submitted during election periods will not be processed. In the event that a citizenship application has been submitted prior to the election but not yet processed, the current Vice Delegate may process the application during the election period.
5. In the event that an applicant is denied the reason for denial must be disclosed by the Vice Delegate. The applicant may appeal their denial to the Assembly which may reverse the denial by a 75% majority vote in favor.
6. If a Citizen no longer has a resident nation their citizenship will be immediately removed by the Vice Delegate.
7. Citizenship may be removed by a majority vote of the Cabinet if a nation is found to be a security threat. Citizens removed for being a security threat may appeal to the Assembly which may reverse the removal by a 75% majority vote in favor.
8. Citizenship will be removed if a nation has not logged into the South Pacific forums for more than 30 days and made two posts within that period.
9. Citizens may request a leave of absence from the Vice Delegate.
10. If the Vice Delegate position is vacant, or the Vice Delegate is otherwise unavailable, the Cabinet may designate a member to perform the above duties.

Addition in red. Thoughts?

How would we define "unavailable"?

Seems reasonable enough to me. I'd love to hear from Aram, since he's pretty good at spotting loopholes and such, but this has my support.

Animefan666 (me): One day I'd like to wipe out humanity...and maybe conquer the city. Ya know, the usual.
Then, once everyone is a zombie, we all starve and Serling dies. A perfect end to a doomed city.

Animefan666: So, now that we've established that I am Brain, who will be my not so brainy sidekick Pinky?

TAC: So who's gonna be my right hand mutant?

Fortunado: And now i need something to restore my faith in humanity... been a struggle to stop losing it.
LeSageStupide: Have you ever just stared at TAC's avatar for a while? It helps a lot.

Seems reasonable to me, it can help reduce backlog as well, so long as we work upon the assumption that the designated Cabinet member works with similar rigour when dealing with applications:

Provided the appointee is able to operate objectively and has justification behind any rejections, this will work in a pinch. But we absolutely need the cit apps to be processed prior to the court elections finishing.

I don't think this will help that. But still important to have.
