This is the sign up thread for the upcoming Galactic Senate. Events relevant here include anything after the previous senate. This senate session will be taking place on Chandrila.

As per usual, the Galactic Senate consists of Free Worlds, New Republic, ISC, and Corporate Sector representatives/senators/governors. The Galactic Senate roster seats 100 representatives: 30 from the NR, 30 from the FWA, 30 from the ISC, and 10 from the CS. Anyone with a political character is welcome to submit agenda ideas and participate in the upcoming Senate thread.

Agenda items form
Code:
Agenda item (include a short desc.) :

1.
Agenda item: Munitions Safety & Standards Ombudsman Bill, in which the Senate appoints an Ombudsman to ensure the standardization of the trade of power packs, blaster parts, and tibanna gas.
Associated governing body: ISC
Sponsor: Kai Veruna

NOTE: The Galactic Senate functions similarly to that of the real life United Nations and does not have the executive power of the American Congress or British Parliament, for example. Keep this in mind when submitting items.

Agenda item: Relocation of Species A
Description: Idea for an event that could be done by both Senate and non-Senate members. The idea is that in some fanon planet (I can throw up a write-up for the planet and species) is about to be destroyed, a rogue planet barreling towards the homeworld of Species A. Now, in Star Wars, one could simply evacuate the planet (and the bill would normally not be as controversial as it could be) to provide aid in evacuation. However, Species A is a religious species, and its religion bars space travel. It's technically a member of one of the Senate members, but only communicates via HoloNet and not very active. Due to its religion, the majority of the populace refuses to leave the doomed world, and the government is against intervention to take members of its species that do want to leave (a very small minority) because it would be sacrilegious; heck, the only reason this planet joined the memberstate of the Senate was to get help for slavers kidnapping members of its species. The bill would be over whether to help the few minority members of Species A that want to evacuate the planet, or evacuate the whole planet against the government's wishes, or abide by a government's/species' wishes to be allowed to die, because they would choose to die on their planet than commit what to them is an extremely grave sin.

The senate meeting about this would be one thread. A second thread would take place on the planet, where non-natives are evacuating the planet (such as the embassy); they would likely face additionally members of the species trying to persuade them to be smuggled offworld.

Associated governing body (affiliation of sponsor, FWA/NR/ISC/CS.): Leaving blank because, since this would be made for the event, it doesn't matter whose jurisdiction its ultimately placed under.

Sponsor (rep. sponsoring the item): Brahman or any one else who'd be interested

@Nor'baal @vamp @Dmitri
Since I procrastinated this for all of Jan/Feb, I'm switching it to Feb/March. Do you three still want your items on the agenda (if they haven't alr been withdrawn)?

Not sure why the Emil Ro holiday is a GS proposal vs a Republic one. I don’t think this would make it to the floor.
