Orv has nearly completed the High Council profile. For any of you (High Councilors) who have gotten on AIM recently (that I've seen), which means none of you, I'm waiting for you to sign on so I can show you. The functionality is *much* different than any roster we've had before (well, so are the planetary profiles). Orv actually improved upon my original design, which he always seems to. The positions are divided into three categories: the Chancellery, the Ministry, and the Electoral (for lack of a better word at the moment). You can either send messages on the [future] communique to the entire High Council, everyone in one of those three categories, someone's respective office (i.e. the Ministry of State, which would include the Minister and Vice Minister, or for the Chancellery, the CHS, his aide, and the DCH and his aide), or individually (which you'll be able to do with any member). For the Senator Prime, his office is listed as the "Senate Assembly." If you click that [future] link, you'll have the option of sending a message to every Senator, every Representative, or the entire Senate. Also, the grievance form instated by former Senator Prime Marcus Stormwind will be in both the Ministry of the Interior and Senator Prime offices. The reason being that the SPR handles Senate-wide grievances, whereas the M:INT handles grievances with certain positions (if someone is slacking off). It's difficult to explain without being able to show anyone (other than HC'ers and select individuals), but when you click a High Councilor name, you'll see his latest 5 reports, his miniature profile, and a "send this High Councilor a message." Clicking his position will give you a more in-dept description and detailed history of the position. Clicking his office will give you the Communique, the office description, the website, an agenda (for the HC'er), the grievance form (if applicable), and perhaps something else. The High Council profile, like the Planetary Profile, will be equipt with a miniature messageboard.

I've begun work on the first volume of "Imperial Senate Planetary Issues", which is comprised of Issues 1-50 that Minister Goersase and I are busily working on. So far, these issues take up 11 pages (with 9 issues), and I'd estimate the final document to be well over 50 pages. Also included will be one mock planetary dispatch for each planet, the initial planetary description, and possibly the outcome of one potentially selected option. Siterath and I plan to have 5 issues for each planet completed within 2 weeks time. The intent of this document is to outline Planetary Issues to Ronin and Astatine before submitting them to the database. If Ronin finds any problems (which I will note potential problems, and aide him with easy navigation), then we'll want to change him before he informs us too late. The only problem I foresee, however, is with the quoting we do in the "options" portion, but that is easily remedied. Anyway, that's it for this week, I think.

— Additional –

It's a very distinct pleasure to welcome back Xura Verr to the Imperial Senate! Verr left us during the DB secession, but seemed to have gotten bored and changed his mind. GA Ronin has personally granted him re-entry, and I've already reinstated him as Vice Minister of Education. He has already begun work on the University Board (once again), which is viewable at the Imperial University (http://emperorshammer.ca/university).
