Yes to Feir and Yes to Viet

No to Sam, reasons already explained. 

Omega, Tsu, Far, etc, etc.

So, not to throw a whole monkey wrench into this, but I can't help but think including an admin might be a good thing. I know we've all be reluctant to do it for various reasons, but ... it might help with things like IP checks since we already have experience there?

I'd prefer Farengeto over Sam, yea.

Well I couldn't articulate it but that's why I was being all hyper about getting you Glenn or Kris on it and all of ya'll declined.
So Far is maybe the closest?

I support the Farengeto, Feirmont and Vietnam ticket. I think all three are trustworthy, active in the region or have proven records of activity, and skills and expertise to add to the roles. 

Also totes going to call them Legs to avoid the LC (Local Council) stuff

I'm fine with Far over Sam, though I don't share the reservations about Sam (especially since I've talked to him about it).

So it's all down to Seraph's approval now.

Ah, if only it were that easy.

As I said in Discord, appointing Far will look bad and I'd much rather Sam still, but if it's three to one against my opinion hardly matters.

Sam messaged Roavin taking himself out of consideration, so all these arguments turned out being for nothing.

Far it is.

Draft statement:

Dear Chairwoman, dear fellow Legislators,

we are now ready to present our three appointees for the new Legislator Committee that will, pending your approval, facilitate a faster and more secure application and audit process for Legislatorship within the Coalition. This was a laborious process - 10 reviewed candidates, 6 formal hearings, dozens of followup questions, multiple personal interviews, expenditure of political capital, coordination with the CRS and forum administration, and tons of heated discussion within the Cabinet office have followed us in the past month to get this done, all while simultaneously dealing with the expected activity hiccups during these holidays.

The first appointee is Feirmont. Feirmont is a long-time trusted South Pacifican. He has served our region in many positions, including as Delegate during a time when that position was also the head of government, and is now best known for being the indubitable Elections Commissioner for most elections in the past two years. Furthermore, Feirmont has experience with off-site vetting processes, having handled citizenship applications in the Kingdom of Alexandria in the past. In many ways, he approaches the ideal of a "perfect" candidate, and we expect him to be a spearhead figure in the success of the Committee.

The second appointee is USoVietnam. Viet is best known across the NationStates world as one of the very best military gameplayers to emerge from 2016. He is known amongst defenders as a trusted figure that has, despite not being a defender himself, been entrusted for over a year with the highest operational clearance in Libcord, the joint defender Discord server, and in fact continues to be the only non-defender to have that access. Furthermore, he is a true son of the South Pacific, having been founded here and staying with the SPSF since the very beginning despite being sought after by many, many other military organizations for his prowess. We expect him to be an enrichment to the committee for his knowledge of current affairs in Gameplay.

The third appointee is Farengeto. While this may be a surprising appointment, given that his most recent term as Chair of Assembly was a significant mover in the formation of this committee in the first place, it is well-founded. Farengeto is also a true son of the South Pacific and has served on the Council on Regional Security for years. He knows how to operate the administration panel of our forum software, having been in charge of legislator applications many times, and furthermore will be in a prime position to liaise between the Council on Regional Security and the committee. We expect him to provide as-needed continuity as well as CRS coordination to the committee.

As for myself, I am currently the sole member of the committee in a transitional capacity. I will resign once all three positions are filled, though I may (if desired by the committee members) briefly serve as a select non-voting advisor to help transition from the setup work that I am currently doing.

Chairwoman, I declare that we the Cabinet, have chosen in good faith to appoint Feirmont, USoVietnam, and Farengeto to the Legislator Committee, in accordance with Article 1 Section 2 of the Legislator Committee Act, filling the current two open vacancies as well as the vacancy left by my automatic resignation should all three appointees be approved by the Assembly. I request that the floor be opened for three days of debate preceding an approval vote as per Article 1 Sections 2 and 3 of the Legislative Procedure Act.

This is fine. I don't see anything to correct or change.
