Announcement from the Managing Director
Director of Public Relations appointment

Following Domais' resignation as Director of Public Relations, we are in need of a new Director of Public Relations. Therefore, I would like to appoint Ryccia as Director of Public Relations of Lazarus.

Ryccia has been a long-time member of our community, currently serving as a Security Auditor. Ryccia has also served as our Director of Public Relations before, and was very professional and active in the role, before he had to resign because of inactivity. He has agreed to take up the role once more, and I look forward to working with him in foreign affairs, and I hope you will consider voting for his appointment

This thread may be used for discussion and motions regarding this appointment.

-- Debussy, Speaker

[Domais]

Full support

[Demonos]

Without objection. The Principality has no reason to dissent.

[Debussy]

I motion to vote.

Apologies for my tardiness, I wish to ask @Ryccia some questions
1. You previously served as PR Director under Imaginary but stepped down as you couldn't dedicate enough time to the role, can you guarantee the assembly of your activity over the rest of Jo's Term?
2. Who do you see as Lazarus' natural allies and enemies?
3. Under Domais, Lazarus pursued a tactic of opening embassies with many unaligned UCR's, do you intend to continue this policy?
4. What regions do you think Lazarus should look to have treaties and NAPs with?

[Ryccia]

1. I am currently in summer vacation, so I have no constraints.
2. Good question. If I had to say, and from what I observe from our history, our natural enemies are those regions who seek to spread their R/D ideology and their influence by all means necessary, as well as the NPO. Our natural allies are those who have a lack of such tendencies. I believe no region that I know of is 100% in one of the extremes, but they are certainly somewhere on that scale.
3. I believe that is a good policy. Lazarus should seek friends with compatible values across NS, no matter if they are active UCRs or titanic GCRs. Moreover, this could be seen as Jo's intended policy (reach out to neutral regions and such), so following the mandate of the electorate is important.
4. If I had to say, from the top of my head, I would say possibly an alliance with TNP, TWP, Osiris (which are already our allies by treaty), and possibly an NAP with TSP*. I won't commit myself definitively to alliances or NAPs at this time unless the Prime Minister does, as that requires more careful consideration. Maybe my thoughts shall change in the future as the circumstances develop and I consider the alternatives.

*(edit: I did not remember we already had one. My apologies for my lapse in judgement)

[Domais]

I second this motion
