KeeslandiaJul 20 2005, 09:24 AM It troubles me to have to bring up the feasances, but it appears to be a topic whose time has come.
Miki (and to others who would like to chime in), does the IDU have any provisions for the removal of a UN Delegate who has not performed their duty? I've combed the archives (a bit) and have not located anything that appears appropriate.
I wish it hadn't come to this, but it appears as though our Vice-Delegate is neglecting the duties of serving as Acting Delegate. As such, the IDU is going unrepresented. If I am mistaken, I apologize and by all means encourage the Vice Delegate to become active.
However, if this nonfeasance is in fact occuring, the situation should not be tolerated. Therefore, I feel I must raise the question of whether or not mechanisms have been put in place to address this sort of situation. If they have not been - we're probably stuck (although we're in a place where we can call an election shortly). If they are, it may be time to explore them.
Any thoughts or advice are appreciated.

Legally speaking I'll have to double check, but with the growing inactivity of Scoopy (whom I've telegrammed and messaged both via NationStates and Invision), I think this is legally what we must do:
1) Accept the results of the previous election and endorse Groot Gouda and Scoopy alike ...
2) Just prepare for having to call the election commission into action if Scoopy expires prior to when Groot Gouda returns.
However, given that Groot Gouda did appoint my government as the acting-Vice Delegate under Scoopy, I can start telegramming all IDU members asking that they endorse my government per Groot Gouda's request (and naturally I'll point to where the post was made public).
The bad news, our votes won't be doubled in the UN and we can't endorse proposals. There is a good chance Scoopy, whom was active, is just on vacation, and will return in August as well. But 10 days is a long wait.
