I know Amerion's proposal was a joke, but I think it'd be actually really cool if we did inter-regional Assembly Commendations. How would we go about allowing that + making it a thing within the assembly? Would we be able to just pass legislation that commends someone right off the bat, or would we have to add it to the abilities of the Assembly?

So, There is nothing in our laws that says we can't do them. However, there's also nothing in the laws that outlines how we would do that sort of thing. I would love to see us do this, not going to lie, but I think we would need to decide how we would do this. Would we treat it as Assembly Resolutions (3 day discussion/3 day vote/simple majority to pass)? That would make the most sense to me, though if anyone has any suggestions, I'd love to hear it!

Another point to think about, more on the logistics side. Where would we archive past commendations? What would we do to signify that any specific Legislator has been commended? Would we keep it to just legislators or all TSPers?

I think the simplest thing would be to add a section to the Law standards act outlining what resolutions of this nature should look like and amend the Legislative Procedures Act to detail where they should be stored.

Above all else, I hope to be a decent person.

That appears to be the most straightforward way of codifying the resolutions themselves. I'd assume we'd be making them very similar to the style of what the SC commendations look like?

But won't those examples eventually get amended to be stricken with red?

This is a valid complaint, last time we decided to have some sort of commendation system we never used it.

TSP, historically, has been very passive about oversight concerning their ministries and other parts of the region - as we've repeated very recently - and this not only applies to taking out inactivity and violations of the rules but also to praising the successes of each person and ministry.

I'd say a better way to go around this is to have some sort of way for everyone to know what's happening around the region... i.e a good, regular newspaper

That is a good point.

Perhaps before we legislate this, we may produce a few ones informally and see if there is an appetite for it long-term?
