Delegate

I'm a little bit late, and I apologize for that. As such, I'm going to extend the period during which candidates may voice their willingness to run for Secretary General. Please post your candidacy here by April 22, at 12:00pm EST. This is a slight deviation from the tradition of five days, but technically, the nominating period has already been open for several days. After which, voting will commence. The voting period will end April 27, at 12:00pm EST.

I announce Blozendland's candidacy for Secretary General. As an ambassador, I would love to have the position of Secretary General, to oversee and take part in debate involving our region. I am interested in regenerating our region to what it once was. If we keep on with our efforts, we will get there, eventually. Even though I am a relatively new nation of the IDU and CIDUS, I attend to NationStates and the IDU forum everyday to see what is happening. I will be making more progress and become very active in this region. It is the best region I have been in so far. As a nation, we are known for our delegation and dialogue, and we are good at watching over things. I hope to widen our region with the help of our nations and the IDU Government, just announced by our great new delegate, Sanctaria. Our new government looks really good. I believe recruitment and expansion of forum use are top priority. Our forum is where a lot of activity should happen. I hope this election is fair, and I wish all other candidates the best of luck, as I am sure all candidates will be splendid also. Thank You for your attention. |

Just a reminder that nations do not run for the candidacy, but nations nominate a person to be their candidate. |

As we're new to CIDUS we don't feel confident submitting a candidate should someone more experienced in the organization present themselves - nonetheless, if not, then our candidate will be: Josie-Marie Kettle MA, Philosophy, Politics & Economics, Assam College, University of Tung MSc, International Political Economy, High Point School of Economics and Political Science DPhil, Economics (case studies of international monetary policy reform), High Point School of Economics and Political Science Junior Research Fellow, MacWelch Institute for Foreign Policy Reform Associate Fellow, MacWelch Institute for Foreign Policy Reform Lecturer, Macroeconomics, Brendan College, University of Tung Director for International Economics, Economic Policy Committee Private Secretary to the Prime Minister on International Economics, Economic Policy Committee Assistant Secretary for Foreign Affairs, Ministry of Finance Economic Policy Advisor, World Assembly Membership Taskforce Senior Economic Assistant, Delegation to the World Assembly |

OOC: Alright, as usual, I'm a wee bit late, and I apologize for that. Life's time consuming, you know! But anyways, down to brass tacks. Unlike the delegate election, the election of the Secretary General is more of an IC affair. Like a normal CIDUS debate, I'm going to have the votes placed publicly on this thread. There's really no precedent to help me decide the best route of action (i.e. public or anonymous voting), so I figured I'd take the initiative. So without further ado, please place your vote for either Josie-Marie Kettle, of the Dark Star Republic, or Gertrude M. van Weer of Blozendland. |

Unfortunately, I was incompetent, and failed to remember article 2, section 2 of CIDUS Resolution #2, which states that "[t]he person who holds the office of Secretary General shall not form a part of, and must indeed be separate to, his/her nation's diplomatic mission and/or representation to CIDUS;" as such, the ambassador of Blozenland is ineligible to run for the office of secretary general, and Josie-Marie Kettle of the Dark Star Republic is therefore declared Secretary General by default. |
