WA Delegate

Keita said he was willing to do it, so I made him World Assembly delegate (WAD). Does anyone else actively want to be delegate? Any thoughts on the method for choosing the delegate? Eventually I want some kind of democratic process here, though for now it's just important that we have someone. :)

Obviously, I trust Keita. I removed the WAD's power to edit the region info because I had a paranoid thought that it would be easy for some other power to seize the delegacy while we're still so small. Since I intend to be an active founder, it wouldn't be more than an annoyance -- but I don't like being annoyed. :P

Any thoughts?

I feel that I could hold that honour but I'm sure Keita is more than able. Why don't we just do it democratically? The person with the most endorsements is the WAD? We don't really need to over-complicate it in my opinion.

Well, I'm not sure I'd want the delegacy going to someone I don't know at all. We will have completely new people here soon. :)

I think WA should be "The President" or leave it to endorsements. Your choice. In the TUL, it was the Head Chairman of the Executive Committee.

I disagree, the WAD and head executive should be separate. The WAD represents all WA members while the executive is whatever is to be decided.

It should be elected, in due time once we have more than a handful of people here. :P

I'm out. Joining the FRA hopefully, and maybe Antifa if I feel like it.

I see you point Clever, I agree. It should be by endorsements. If you want to make it more democratic, it is like voting, just on NationStates. We would ban raiders though.

The WAD would have to have the most endorsements and have at least a certain amount of people vote for him/her on the forums based on the number of nations? I'm just throwing out ideas here :P

We could do what I always suggested doing in West, and that's polling all of the nations in the region and then collecting the votes. :P

Or we could do it on-forum, though I'd prefer only WA members be able to vote.

I like that idea, it could definitely be better implemented here than in West. Poll all WA nations through a TG and count the votes, we could use the shared nation for that too.

My problem with polling all the nations in Barrayar is that we could end up with someone none of us knows. I'd be more comfortable if only those on the forum got to vote. It would also encourage people to join the forum, since activity is what we want.

Poll WA members that are on the forum then?

We should also make sure the selected person actually wants to do it. :)

It won't be me, in any case -- it makes no sense to have the delegate and founder as the same person. :)

Set up a nominations thread (must be active on the forums) then and poll WA members?

How do we know their WA? Are we telegraming them or just posting it on the forum?

The forum I think.

How do we make it so only WA members can vote?

We only ask them.

Okay, how about this:

We hold sign-ups on the forums, and then let all the WA members in the region vote? That way, if anybody is going to be WAD they'll have to sign up on the forums. Campaigning on the RMB would also increase activity.

Will they vote on the forums as well or will we use TG's?
