Founded in March of 2007, A World Power was once one of the largest regions in Nationstates, and is currently re-building to its former glory!

The leaders of the three largest Houses form a Triumvirate which is responsible for leading the region. We believe in open elections for all citizens of our region and operate a one of the major defender forces in the game, which protects regions across Nationstates from invasion.

The senate is always in session, you will not receive minutes but voting records will be printed when votes occur that are not on secret matters.

This is unacceptable, how will we know it is active or of any quality...
This is a representative body.

Minutes should be released on all discussion within X days, with 'secret discussions' only held back by the government untill the time has passsed.

Any Secret Secrets (which I hope a good region like AWP won't have to many of) are a barrier to government efficency.

What do you think? he has a point... but it's also a fine line we would have to take...

wouldn't matter one way or another I think. If the people who are active and around in the senate pass something, then it'll get passed. There will be forum threads about it so.

It could be interesting for normal members and ambassadors though, and we could have some good summaries of conversations so they can be more informed in their voting at elections

Plus, if we can get someone else to do it :P

People like positions and power even if it does mean doing more work, so it wouldnt be a particularly great load.

hmmmm I haev an idea, the majority party in the senate will pick someone to be Secratary of the senate, that will be voted on by the party then passed by the general senate vote, this person would be able to see the senate area, but would not be able to post or start new threads, sorta like an official lurker, he will then write minutes that will be voted on by the senate for approval, including who voted yes no or abstained, and after minutes are approved post them in an official area that only he can post in.


What do you all think?

also another add on this secratary will be in charge of taking passed resolutions and putting them on the passed resolutions thread.

make a new subboard in goverment area, Secratarial office, where minutes, appointments, passed resolutions, and list of senatorial members are kept and maintaining it will eb the job of the secratary

I will right the proposal tonight

that sounds good actually, although perhaps not the majority party, what if the majority are independents? How about anyone in the Senate can nominate a candidate and we will debate and vote until its down to 1?

In AWP polotics, I dont see many independents, as the parties are rather importent, one of the coolest parts of our system is the parties do work. ill put it up in the ipp hq first for us to talk about. MAybe keep majority party puts up first, if the general senate votes down secound nominations can come from anyone. this will make things faster in times like this where whom ever the IPP supports will have the positions do to simple majority

Actually, I guess in many government the majority party appoints EVERYONE so it wouldnt be too bad them just appointing the speaker (although I think I'd want to call them the Secretary rather than speaker too :))
