I'm generally familiar with what a WA Delegate does, but is there a detailed list of duties? And what says it's time for an election? I looked in the denate and couldn't find a law about WAD, I must be missing somethign SOMEWHERE.

I like being in the military, even just the expeditionary force; but there's been no activity there for a few weeks, so I might give this a whirl instead. :) <well, I might TRY for it, might not get elected>

I should probably start posting FRA missions in there in the absence of an MoD :unsure:

I don't think its law, but typically the delegate serves for 100 days in office and then his seat is up for election.

There's really no central list of duties other than posting up WA votes on the forum, and voting how the region wants him to vote. When I was delegate, I viewed it as the leader of the region, reached out to a few of our allies on certain issues and what not.

Wibblefeet here is a quick stream of conciousness list of what a WA Delegates position of power, responsibility, respect and beneficial influence might include doing. Its based on my experiences as a delegate in the past and as a citizen of AWP, and as you can see includes some concepts of AWPishness which not everyone may share. But worthy of reading if you want to be a good delegate for your region.

Any addons happily recieved, also this all depends on your strengths, all of our delegates have carried on what they are good at believe in and quietly dropped the rest, its by no means a hard job if you don't wish it to be; but in a region such as AWP it should certainly be a enjoyable job.
A list

  • WA Delegate maintains the region page and ensures things carry on as they should when neas is out for a day.

    WA Delegate seeks to communicate with all Regional WA Members, making sure they know delegate is available to advice.

    WA Delegate leads AWP affairs/representation in the WA, posting the latest resolutions on the forums for popular vote, supporting proposed resolutions in the regions interests and is de facto leader of relations with other WA Delegates (ie WA Corps/Efforts to work with other regional WA groups to meet common goals).

    WA Delegate logs in regularly.

    WA Delegate stays abrest of situations, perhaps asking founder, RDF,Ambassadors whats going on, but often welcoming new (WA) nations to the forums, and helping getting them to the forums.

    WA Delegate has a seat in the Senate, where as a senator they have duties not described here.

    WA Delegate may co-ordinate home region defence in case of attack and can expect the support of all AWP WA members in the defence of AWP.

    WA Delegate should expect citizens to bring proposed resolutions to them and the whole region before submissial to WA, because the Delegate would be the most useful person to assist a citizen with a proposal.

    WA Delegate would update WA members, perhaps by RMB or email or by forum when a vote is happening.

    WA Delegate should remember the end of their term and be ready to push for a new election if everyone else forgets.

    WA Delegate should expect and seek out the highest number of endorsements possible.

    WA Delegate should ensure the Region Page states there name and position clearly.

    Like all citizens Delegate should respect the founder, assisting them wherether possible and seeking their assistance for unsolvable or higher questions.

    WA Delegate maintains ban list in accordance with needs of defence and of senate decisions

    WA Delegate supports the Senate and its members respectability in public view and should not bring it into disrepute or attack a senator on personal political lines/ rather than critique them with arguement, experience and common sense.

    WA Delegate supports A World Powers respectability on the International scene, acting in the best way to promote AWPishness, peace, democracy and prosperity and promote the forums as the truely good place they are.

    WA Delegate acts as a elected representative at all times. There actions are inherently endorsed by the population of AWP, so what they do should be worthy of this endorsement.

    WA Delegate is generally a font of knowledge about AWP and their own sense of AWPishness; particularly being useful to foreign VIP dignatories who might spend some tourist dollars and newbies.

The Electorate
The NS Region of AWP (which we forget)
The NS World Out there (which we forget and don't venture out to)
The Senate (which we forget is supposed to be the government)

and the...
The Founder (which we forget at our peril)

That is a very good list AP3...

It should definitely be taken and pinned somewhere... a couple things need to be edited I think... for example there are no delegate "term" limits... but generally at around 100 days in office... the delegate starts asking who would like to run for delegate and once some good people step forward we open the polls.

and I think AWPishness should be the word of the week... if we had one that is :P

I don't see why it can't be allowed :P

Technically as long as his goal is to get rid of Gov in a legal manner if he's elected there's technically nothing wrong with that... doesn't mean people will/should vote for him though :P

He doesn't plan to do it in a legal manner. He just personally hates me and anyone who wishes to campaign on a platform of hate and personal destruction is plain wrong.

The fact that he believes I am a bug instead of a person is also disrespectful and goes against the beliefs of this region, and borderlines on slander.
