Whatever the case, I don't think a partisan speaker is a good idea.  I'd rather that the assembly choose a (consenting) replacement from among its members, or that the office be left vacant prior to a special election being held.

We could limit acting Governor powers to only amendments, elections, and emergency executive actions. No legislation.

Sounds like a reasonable compromise.

What determines whether a governor is absent, assuming that he hasn't declared his leave? Is it a failure to post in certain forums, to respond to messages, to visit the forum in general? In other words, how do we determine when the 7 days begin, when they end, and when they may have been interrupted? Also, does the passage of those 7 days of "inactivity" constitute a "sudden vacancy"?

We need to decide that right now.

I am tabling this for now. We need to consider a Constitutional Convention, it's getting a bit ridiculous.

Vital Civic Information Act

1. The Government of the Northeast shall keep a complete and accurate record at all times of the names of current members of the Assembly, the names of the region's executive and judicial officers, the dates of any forthcoming general or special elections and any other information which the government sees fit to make its citizens aware of.

2. The information to be made public by this act shall be published within three days of the passage of this Act.

3. Any future changes to the above information must be made within three days of an event necessitating a change, such as a new officer/legislator's ascendance to or removal from his respective office or the calling of a new special election.

4. Any member of the Legislature, or of the Executive or Judicial Branches, may make any necessary changes to the above information.

5. The above information shall be made public through at least one of the following media:
a. A new thread in the Regional Governments subforum of the Atlas Fantasy Government forum; or
b. The appropriate pages in the Atlasia Wiki.

6. If any inappropriate information, such as any egregious self-promotional, offensive or irrelevant text is made public through the media specified in 5 a or b, the Chief Judicial Officer is hereby authorized to remove it, at his discretion, upon the recommendation of any Northeast Citizen.
I move that this be considered by the Assembly, all in favour say 'aye', the ayes have it.

The sponsor, Representative homelycooking, will now speak to the Bill, debate will last 48 hours.

My purpose in writing this bill was obvious: I think our citizens ought to be able to go to a thread or a Wiki page and find out who their elected officials are. When I first arrived in the Northeast, I had to ask to find out who some of my representatives were. I don't want that to be the case for any resident in the future, and so I urge passage of this act so that we have a statutory mandate for information availability and civic communication in the Northeast.

This has my full support. We should consider linking new citizens to this information when they join.

Well, we do have a Wiki page, listing government officials.  That it hadn't been routinely updated over the past year or so is the bigger issue.

FYI-
This morning, Jake Matthews resigned from the Lt. Governorship and swore in as a member of the Northeast Assembly.  Under Article IV, Section vii of the New Northeast Constitution, the Assembly must recommend someone to fill the vacant Lt. Governor's seat before the Governor can name a replacement.

My problem with the Wiki is that there are a number of pages referencing current or past NE officials, and it's difficult to make sure that all of them are correct and up to date. A new thread might be more useful, considering that.

We will hold a nomination period for Lt. Governor concurrently, as not to delay the resolution for a Constitutional Convention.

The CJO has stated that you are not a member of the Assembly. I planned to nominate you, since you are out of a job apparently.

Well, technically, the CJO has stated that the Governor did not certify Wormguy a member of this Assembly, but if anyone disagrees with that certification and has a valid legal argument, they are more than welcome to file a lawsuit in my court - as with any certification.

We will simultaneously recommend a Lt. Governor.

Assemblymen:

On behalf of the SRC, I humbly request that the SRC's commission be extended to the 20th day following the passage of the bill, or this Thursday. The commission has been hard at work, but we need additional time to finish our review and assemble the final report.

Sorry I've been absent and probably will remain so until Monday. Wormyguy is recommended and this bill has passed as well.
