Proposal Results

ITEM I - Senatus consultum de foedere cum re publica Canadana Romana internationali

Uti rogas / censeo / consentio = ATS, SLT, DAI, QAN, Fl.VG., GVM, AVC, MHMF, MMT, PACP, CPST, MACJ, TDD, CCB, AJP, SLT (proxy for CPD), CnCL, CFCAS, MPC.

• Comments:

ATS: This will bring a long-desired return of several of our prodigal sons and daughters.

SLT: This is like our conquered land with the long war after the coup.

DAI: Great to see this large endeavour drawing to a close. I extend my thanks to the committee from NR and RR for all the hard work. Let’s start our new combined chapter!

TDD: This has long been a necessity in restoring Nova Roma. I hope other splinter organizations eventually return home as well. Rome under one banner.

ITEM II - Senatus consultum de provinciis examinandis et ordinandis

Uti rogas / censeo / consentio = ATS, SLT, DAI, QAN, Fl.VG., GVM, AVC, MHMF, MMT, PACP, CPST, MACJ, TDD, CCB, AJP, SLT (proxy for CPD),CnCL, CFCAS, MPC.

• Comments:

ATS: Magno cum dolore, uti rogas. Therapeiá eget.

SLT: I think this is a good step to right direction for better quality performance.

DAI: Further education and consultation is clearly required on provincial evaluation legislation. Much was explained in the senate but a package should be developed for public consumption. There is perhaps room for minor alterations to nomenclature and terminology to appease the English speakers without significantly altering intent. I encourage a future workshop to discuss this. I also wanted to note that without my suggested inclusion on this SC, governor reporting requirements are now misaligned to provincial evaluation periods. New governors of provinces only have about 3 months to demonstrate improvements before the next reporting period. It is no longer clear in law due to the passage of events and timing of legislation; the harmony of governor reporting to province evaluations in out of synchronisation. This is easily rectified but should be considered by the Senate soon.

FLVG: With the hope that a broad discussion on the whole provincial system may be forthcoming once the current session is complete.

TDD: Under the condition that the present documentation undergoes review and editing.

Antiquo = 0

Abstineo = 0

ITEM III - Senatus consultum de praesidibus provinciarum

Uti rogas / censeo / consentio = ATS, SLT, DAI, QAN, Fl.VG., GVM, AVC, MHMF, MMT, PACP, CPST, MACJ, CCB, AJP, SLT (proxy for CPD), CnCL, CFCAS, MPC.

• Comments:

ATS: Speremus nomen novum provinciae cuidam mox creandum.

SLT: I wish them good diligence and industry!

DAI: A hearty challenge has been set for several governors. I hope that those freshly appointed or reaffirmed take on the responsibility with vigour and determination. Governorship takes effort and a little bit of knowledge. Struggling governors should look to their peers for support or come back to the Senate should further guidance be needed. Good luck to all.

GVM: Hoping that a practical resolution for the naming of the Middle Atlantic Province will be forth coming.

Antiquo = TDD

• Comments:

TDD: Unfortunately it seems the Senate has no faith in its governors, or its people. Let the governors, who are supposed to have the trust and authority of the Senate, manage the provinces they are assigned. They are the "boots on the ground" and know their people and what will be best for growth, not people in far away lands.

Abstineo = 0

Antiquo = 0

Abstineo = FLVG

• Comments:

ATS: This young man should be a fine example to the other camilli and those who seek religious offices in Nova Roma.

DAI: I’ve appreciated everything about P. Aurelius Barbatus to date and he’ll easily become an excellent leader as he advances his Roman career. This is a well-deserved award as he becomes a role model in our community.

TDD: Again, provided such is granted to future graduates.
