[Lief 🗽]

Yeah, I've never been to Vermont either. Seems like a beautiful place to live though.

Now taking applications for Northeast chair

[Associate Justice PiT]

      Something momentous has happened! With the appointment of Smid to the Northeastern Judiciary, a majority (10 out of 19 to be precise) of RPPers now hold public office!

What? Two governors, two senators, two lt. governors, one vice-president, one judge, one assemblyman, where does the other one come in?

     Keelhaul it all, it seems I put Ben on the list twice.

Once all the parties have declared their candidates, I'll set up a booth so we can make the official party ballot

Endorsement

The RPP endorses CultureKing in his bid for re-election as Pacific governor

[DownWithTheLeft]

Orders of Business

1.) Still taking applications for Northeast chairman
2.) Sometime midweek next week vote on endorsements for senate
3.) Should we ever release the bylaws or continue to drive Xahar by not?
4.) Do I need to hold any elections of some sort?

[Associate Justice PiT]

     Why exactly do we need a new Northeastern chair?

Smid resigned the position when he became CJO, conflict of interest in his opinion and I agree with him

     Ah. Since RB has disappeared & Generic is no longer a member of the RPP, I guess Driedapples is the only option left here.

I don't see how.  I'm Governor, but I'm also Regional Chair.

[Хahar 🤔]

Just a question: What's the point?

[AndrewTX]

Just a question: What's the point?

I dont think that Smid would have had to resign his regional chair. Any cases that could have possibly involved him in this region (which never happen), I believe he would remain fair. If for some reason he didnt, the Governor could just dismiss him.

[Brandon H]

One could always recuse himself from the case if it is a conflict of interest.

Post the bylaws, just so the link for RPP Bylaws is blue and exists instead of being red and not existing in the wiki.

Wait until the filing deadline for endorsements, though how we vote should be obvious once the candidates list is final.

I don't think we have to hold elections for anything unless any of our chairmen vacate their seats.

I don't see how.  I'm Governor, but I'm also Regional Chair.

I would note that the difference there is that the Governor is a political position, and is a party leader in a particular region. The CJO role is unpolitical and unpoliticised and I felt it best that I step aside to avoid any accusation of impropriety.

It wasn't so much that I had to but rather I felt it the right thing to do. I think I could remain fair, but I think it's important to not just be fair, but to also be seen to be fair. I wouldn't think poorly of a person who didn't step aside if they were in a similar situation to me, that's just the standard to which I choose to hold myself.

Anyone want to have a convention for December or just in February?

[Fmr. Pres. Duke]

I doubt we need one for just a Senate race. There isn't a Presidential race or anything going on, is there?

We can just have an election dinner or something like that where we all speak about the region. It's been a slow few months, so I doubt we have anything to talk about for a full fledged convention.

Good idea.  I say we hold something similar to CPAC, just a formal get together of the RPP to discuss important issues.

If y'all happy to travel up to Vermont, I've got a lovely place up here and am more than happy to hire a chef to cater for a small dinner of party representatives.

Really?  The Governor, Superior Court Judge, and 1 member of the Assembly are here, as well as a Founder, and the VP.
