Esteemed Legislators,

Please be advised of the following appointments to the position of Deputy Chair: @Nakari, @Rebeltopia, and @islands_of_unity.

Both Nakari and Rebeltopia have served as Chair and distinguished themselves through government service as highly competent and capable individuals. Nakari’s tenure as Chair established organisational standards which are still in use today. Rebeltopia, in his capacity as Deputy Chair to then-Chair Roavin, is held in high regard by all who have had the pleasure to have served with him. Islands of Unity has a well-deserved reputation for his outreach abilities and has displayed enthusiasm for the activities of this body. I believe them all to be a tremendous asset to this region and I look forward to working with them.

The Deputy Chairs will assist me in the administration of the Assembly. They will form the leadership group of the legislature and in the event of my absence, the most senior Deputy shall serve as Acting Chair.^[1] The order of seniority is as follows: @Nakari, @Rebeltopia, and @islands_of_unity.
