Vice Delegate's Report

Hi all,

In a break from what I've been doing the past few weeks, I'm starting off by noting that the WADP Awards for January are out! After a brief hiatus for December due to the extended site shutdown affecting our scripts, the awards are back up and running. You can find them here, and give it an upvote if you haven't already. Congratulations to all the winners!

And now let's get to the numbers. The decline in WA numbers is continuing, with decreasing endorsements on the Delegate and Security Councillors as a direct effect. I myself am still gaining, albeit much more slowly, due to the aforementioned decline in WA numbers, as well as the natural effect of additional endorsements slowing down once you reach higher endorsement levels. It is still decent progress though, now only 50 away from the lowest-ranking Security Councillor.

Thank you to GBM for sending out a telegram on behalf of me requesting endorsements, and hopefully we'll see other Security Councillors doing the same in the coming weeks to break up the monotony of telegrams from The Northern Light and myself a bit.. I will also likely be launching a card lottery for the final stages of the transition later this week, so stay tuned for that.

Other Security Council matters

The vote to confirm Hulldom's nomination to the Security Council will close in a few hours. While the results are obvious at this point, I will wait until the vote has been tallied and Hulldom has taken his oath to formally welcome him to the Security Council. In the meantime, if you are a citizen reading this before the vote closes and haven't voted yet, I encourage you to do so and exercise your democratic rights.

Closing thoughts

I've managed to get the ball rolling on a new community engagement initiative that I think could be implemented quite soon. I'm also aware I haven't made much progress on declassification since the start of the term, but I have been looking into old declassified threads that are currently hidden. Because there are quite a lot of them and the fact that they have already been declassified means the process should be quicker, I will probably release them in big batches.

Yours truly,
~~Gorundu
