New Member Committee - kloister - 03-12-2008 If I could indulge the pleasure of The Assembly in reading and commenting on the proposal below... Quote:<strong class='bbc'>New Member Commission (NMC) ? Terms of Reference</strong> New Member Committee - Guest - 03-12-2008 In general I think it's a good idea. A few comments: Quote:Eligibility criteria for a ?new member? to serve on the commission are determined by the length of time a member has been a member on TSP forum. It is proposed that this should be no more than 6 months. <strong class='bbc'>No minimum term is defined.</strong>Quite obviously there is no minimum term, as a new member can become part of the committee as soon as they are registered. Quote:This is at the discretion of the MoR <strong class='bbc'>who could extend members involvement beyond the 6 month period</strong> i.e. they are actively engaged in ongoing discussions or assignments. Members engaged in Delegacy challenges and visiting Ambassadors are excluded from participation in the NMC.I don't think this is a good idea. Not being NMC doesn't mean that someone can no longer put ideas before the council or responsible government officials. Especially the more active people should be integrated enough after 6 months to know which channels to use... Although on the other hand we should not look too strictly on a day more or less. Quote:5. Assist in identifying the needs of ?new members? so that the mentoring programme becomes more effective.What mentoring programme? Overall, I think the text can be shortened and perhaps made a tad less formal for use as official policy or guideline. New Member Committee - Michael de Jillingham - 09-08-2008 I believe this to be a meritorious proposal. New Member Committee - Southern Bellz - 10-05-2008 This is a fantastic thing to do, it is a bit overwhelming being a new member of any region for the first time. Simply put, it is tough to know how things work, and to just âjump into thingsâ. This way members can have a place to go when they have questions, they have a place where they are comfortable how things work. Plus they have something to do. Lack of things to do is one of the largest turn offs to me when it comes to NationStates, with a NMC, that can change for new people. New Member Committee - Guest - 10-07-2008 I don't think commissions need to be approved by vote by the assembly, or do they?Our esteemed minister of the region is abroad at the moment if I'm not mistaken, but maybe some cabinet folks can give a go-ahead, so that the necessary arrangements can be made? New Member Committee - Bali Lo - 10-20-2008 Quote:I don't think commissions need to be approved by vote by the assembly, or do they?I can't see anything in the Charter that would make an Assembly vote required. Here's <em class='bbc'>one</em> approval for going ahead with the committee... New Member Committee - kloister - 10-22-2008 All the committee needs to get under way is for the Cabinet to approve...When the idea was first floated a while ago it was all discussed in Cabinet, as was then constituted and they all agreed for this to go ahead...The Minister of the Region was identified as being holding the responsibility of running the committee on a day to day basis...Hope that helps... New Member Committee - Guest - 10-22-2008 Well, let's get the committee running then. Go go go! ![]() New Member Committee - Caer Rialis - 10-22-2008 I'm game for it, and I think I have a candidate to head said committee in mind . . . . . New Member Committee - Geomania - 10-24-2008 I wouldn't mind this committee going ahead. |
