Good day, people of the South Pacific!
I am Brutland and Norden, your current Delegate. The legally constituted government of the South Pacific <a class="bbc_url" href="http://forums.thesouthpacific.org/index.php/topic/4412-announcement-from-the-cabinet-regarding-the-delegate/" title="">had appointed me</a> to fill in the remainder of the term of Milograd/Carta in accordance to the existing laws of the South Pacific.
So on behalf of the Government of the South Pacific, I would like to take this opportunity to address the assembly regarding a few announcements and appointments.
First, the announcements.
We have money!
We are currently introducing a forum currency system for the South Pacific. This will be purely just for fun, there will be no real money involved. But who doesn't want to win the (forum money) lottery? Or invest in stocks? Or buy someone drinks in the <a class="bbc_url" href="http://forums.thesouthpacific.org/index.php/topic/33-lampshade-bar-and-grill/" title="">Lampshade Bar and Grill</a>? If you have any suggestions or comments, feel free to post <a class="bbc_url" href="http://forums.thesouthpacific.org/index.php/topic/1053-forum-currency/" title="">in this thread</a>. Now if you are still thinking of something to spend your forum money on, I would like to inform everyone that your delegate is poor and is currently on welfare.
Regular Election Cycle
The election cycle will proceed as scheduled, during the first week of April. So I would like to exhort my fellow citizens to participate in one of NationStates' oldest and most vibrant democracies by registering to vote in order to support your favored candidates next month. If you like, you can even run for the myriad of positions available! You can get the right to vote and run in our elections simply by acquiring citizenship <a class="bbc_url" href="http://forums.thesouthpacific.org/index.php/topic/35-request-citizenship-here/" title="">here</a>.
And now we go to the appointments.
Acting Vice-Delegate
The Delegate of the South Pacific usually has two vice-delegates to help him/her in maintaining and securing the region. With my elevation to the delegacy, the region now only has one vice-delegate. To remedy this, I would like to invoke Sec. 3 Art. II of <a class="bbc_url" href="http://forums.thesouthpacific.org/index.php/topic/1195-omnibus-bill/" title="">the Omnibus Bill of the South Pacific</a> in order to appoint a citizen as a member of The South Pacific Security Council, whose job is similar to a vice-delegate. Thus, the Cabinet of the South Pacific would like to nominate <span>Hileville</span> as a member of The South Pacific Security Council until my successor takes office. I hope that the Assembly of the South Pacific would vote favorably to confirm one of our trusted former delegates to the position.
Election Commissioner (EC)
Our elections are upcoming, and it is the election commissioners' role to safeguard the voting process and our democracy. A few days ago, one of our beloved ECs, a mean old man (he's not really mean) had announced <a class="bbc_url" href="http://forums.thesouthpacific.org/index.php/topic/4416-resignation/" title="">his resignation</a> from the post. As such, I would like to volunteer my services as one of the Election Commissioners of the South Pacific to replace a mean old man. For disclosure, I have no intentions of running for any position next month. I would like to solicit the Assembly's views on this nomination.
Thank you very much, and I hereby open the floor for voting and comments.
