Since we are currently without a Vice Delegate, we do not have someone to process citizenship applications. I personally find this unacceptable and would like to update Article 1, Section 2 of the Charter so this does not happen in the future. (Proposed addition is in blue.)
Quote: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. 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.
5. If a Citizen no longer has a resident nation their citizenship will be immediately removed by the Vice Delegate.
6. 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.
7. 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.
8. Citizens may request a leave of absence from the Vice Delegate.
9. If the Vice Delegate position is vacant, the Chair of the Assembly may conduct the above duties.
Honestly, I don't care who we want to do it, but I'd like to get this up for a vote ASAP. I don't want potential citizens being hung up by this.

I agree with the idea, though I'm not sure if the CoA is the best choice.
Perhaps MoRA?
Not to give you more work, but as a more appropriate fit?

I think either the Delegate or a member of the CSS should be the ones to check the citizenship apps.
I actually think it makes sense of the CoA to review applications. Citizens are after all members of the Assembly, so it is reasonable to think that the leader of the Assembly is the best person for the job, after the Vice Delegate.
How's this?

For the above, I think it works better in that different Cabinet members might have different time constraints. If we let the Cabinet decide, it could be the MoRA, CoA or even the delegate, if they have the time.

That's a good point. I didn't think about the security checks that would go into it.

I'm in favor of this. Since we'll only be talking about what is "hopefully" a short period of time and infrequent in occasion...I think this the wisest solution.
Also, I thought of posting something in the citizenship apps thread just giving them a heads up about the delay...but didn't want to step on toes.....
