The New Commonwealth SocietyBoard

1) How long have you have been a member of NationStates?

I created my first nation around 2010 but did take a year or so off.

2) How long have you been a member of the New Commonwealth Society?

I joined here on the 1st March and been ever present since then.

3) Why do you want to be the the Secretary-General of the New Commonwealth Society?

I feel that in my term as the Secretary-General I achieved what I set out to achieve as I put in place some foundations to which our great region can build upon, but I know the work is not finished. We're entering a period in our history that is full of excitement and opportunity both inter-regionally and domestically, and that is something that I'd want to be apart of.

4) What would be your top priorities and goals while in office? Do you have any plans for legal reforms worth mentioning, if so what? What are your plans for interregional collaboration?.

There are several key areas that I'd like to focus on in this upcoming term, namely developing our foreign policy and relationships and becoming more active within the United Regions Alliance. Should I be elected, I intend to work with our Minister of Foreign Affairs in order to build those strong relationships.

World Assembly members. Surprisingly we're at the higher end of the ladder of endorsements than most regions but I'd still like to see more. I've found regions that are three times bugger than what we are but yet have only a handful more delegate votes than us. Increasing our regional power and influence, especially in World Assembly voting matters is paramount if we want to grow our inter-regional relationships.

Recruitment. Last term I sent 31,307 recruitment telegrams that resulted in the highest population boom that our region has ever seen (116) but to grow our World Assembly membership we need to recruit more nations to join. I'll be happy to work with the Minister of the Interior to continue our regional recruitment drive and create a new nation record in the New Commonwealth Society.

Forum Activity. I have a few ideas on how to increase forum activity, and I'll look at staging a regional Olympics throughout the term as well as some other sporting events but the details will be launched at a later date.

5) Do you feel confident in your ability to serve as the Head of Government for the region? Explain.

Yes, I feel that my last term showed that I'm more than competent in the position.

6) Is there anything else that will set you apart from other candidates (ie. job experience, similar positions in other regions, etc.)?
