BraveSirRobin, Delegate: Peace and Prosperity!

Democratically Endorsed, Lustrous and Eternal Guardian of Authority, Truth, and Excellence

Hola friends!  It's your favourite delegate, running for re-election again!    To safeguard our region from horribly penned WA legislation, to approve basically every other proposal to ensure an ample supply of legislation in the World Assembly, and to improve our foreign relations and inter-regional cooperation in the WA in the event that we want to get any good bills passed (obligatory attempt to get people interested in writing something for the WA)!!!

The last few months were relatively normal for the delegacy, we now have 61 endorsements, down slightly (from 64, we were still in the 64 range recently but there were some recent CTE's of WA nations) from midwinter but I think keeping with the general pattern of activity in the region on a quarterly basis.  I do plan on continuing the polling regimen as we get more time and can generate more interest in WA affairs and such.  In the event that we have any other ideas for polls, you can always feel free to PM me on either here or on NationStates and I should probably respond to you/put up the poll within a week!  I really want to have a poll queue this next term.  That would be very fun!!

But fear not, though we have now figured out the Acronym for Delegate, there are but more things to accomplish in the WA!  Our goals for the next sequence are as follows, and quite similar to those of the previous term:

(1) To write and submit WA legislation as we deem it necessary and get what we write to vote!

(2) Continuation of the polling programme and getting us to the 70 range of endorsements.  This has proven more difficult to do over the last term, but I think that's largely the result of the fact it was predominately full of IRL work.  Summer should be a much better time to try and drum up enthusiasm for delegate-related things.

(3) From a more logistical standpoint, I think it would be valuable to try and integrate the Delegacy with some of our more WA-inclined peer regions, TNP is the most overt region with this capability, but perhaps there are others who we could coordinate with to make it seem more fun that just busywork for the sake of busywork. 

(4) If anyone in the community wants anything from the WA office, we are always willing to attempt any crazy plan, no matter how far fetched or half baked the idea may seem at first.  Seriously!  Nobody ever takes me up on this, but I'd totally think it'd be awesome if someone did!! 

Shh Forms There Are No Forms

1) Why are you running for this position?
  I am sincere, thorough and a good communicator generally, and though I lack some of the more graphics-related skills necessary for other cabinet positions, I'm able to generate some interest in the WA, I think! 
2) What do you aim to accomplish as Thane? As part of this, you must include at least one thing that you promise to do beyond the minimum listed duties of the position during your term. It should be measurable, so that it's black and white whether you fulfilled this mandate at the end of the term if you are elected.
  Getting community involvement in creating quality polls that generate fun little activity is hard, but I'll continue my efforts there.  I'll also attempt to put a few more announcements in the RMB on the NationStates side of thing as well for important WA votes.  Also, keeping the endorsement level above 60ish endorsements for the entirety of the term is a must, but gaining more endorsements would be even better!
2a) If you are an incumbent running for re-election, did you fulfill your mandate from the June election? If not, why didn't you?
  There wasn't much of a fulfillment of a mandate, to be honest.  I had a very time-intensive quarter and consequently didn't get too much in the way of WA development time.  I'll try and drum up activity again this summer though!
3) What qualifications or experience do you have in the area that you are running in?
I have been delegate for over a year, I'm Wintreath's Ambassador to TNP and Europeia, which are also cool reasons, and sometimes even have formatting that rivals Wintreath!!  (Jk.  We've got the best formatting, it's impossible to beat us )
4) How do you plan to have the time to fulfill the duties of the position until the next election in August?
It's late in my current university quarter so early this session may be tough but overall activity should pick up and then we can go from there! 
5) Are you currently a part of any other NationStates regional or organizational government? If so, please include those regions and positions.
I am still Lord of Development in New Hyperion!! (the Wintreath Vassal Region) 
Additionally, if you managed to get here without being bored to death, please reply with the phrase: "BOLOGNA IS DELICIOUS"

BOLOGNA IS DELICIOUS

BOLOGNA IS DELICIOUS!

Also, what do you think about potentially writing small "bite-sized" summaries of WA legislation at vote for the people of Wintreath? I do a similar thing as Delegate of Cynosure.
