Brooke Brandenburg: Hi Coop
Lilith Ivory: Hi Coop
Tanoujin Milestone: Coop
Lilith Ivory: you are just in time
Tor Karlsvalt: Hi Coop
RogueGeek Cooperstone: Hi. Sorry about that. I forgot it was communion, and it ran a touch long
Shep Titian: Hi Coop
Arria Perreault: Hi Coop
Tor Karlsvalt: Hi Delia!
Lilith Ivory: ok as Coop is here now I move we go back to item 1 on our agenda
Delia Lake: Hi everyone
Arria Perreault: Hi Delia
Lilith Ivory: structured Questions from the SC members to Coop to find out about his likeliness to uphold the Constitution ...
Lilith Ivory: and demonstrated knowledge of our law
Lilith Ivory: and the intention to act without bias while interpreting the laws and hold office here
Lilith Ivory: this questioning is for SC members only and each member will have her/ his turn to ask questions if there are any
Lilith Ivory: Calli sent me her statement via email as she is kept away from here by urgend RL issues
Lilith Ivory: and she wants me to pass her appologies to her fellow SC members and all citizens
Lilith Ivory: are you all ready and can we proceed?
Soro Dagostino: I suggest that list be presented for Coop to reply.
Soro Dagostino: Calli took the time to write out her questions.
Lilith Ivory: what list?
Lilith Ivory: well Calli is not here and I don?t have the list
Soro Dagostino: The statement?
Lilith Ivory: do you Soro?
Soro Dagostino: I do not.
Lilith Ivory: let me pass to you callis statement she sent to us via email
Soro Dagostino: k
Lilith Ivory: I have no objection to Coop or Timo as candidates - I know that Coop spent much time reading Forums, laws and Constitution to get to know CDS. Timo as a long time citizen and member of government has always demonstrated a concern for the law and constitution. I support both nominations and would vote 'yes' .
Apologies Timo, Coop, if I don't make it 
Lilith Ivory: really it?s all about the likeliness to uphold the Constitution, and and be knowlegable of our laws and to interpret them without bias
Lilith Ivory: the last were my words , not the oney from calli
Tanoujin Milestone: Hi Pat
Soro Dagostino: What positions did Timo hold in the government of CDS?
Tor Karlsvalt: Hi Pa
Patroklus Murakami: /me waves hello
RogueGeek Cooperstone: He was on RA
Shep Titian: Hi Pat
Tor Karlsvalt: Pat*
Lilith Ivory: Hi was in the RA for several times
Arria Perreault: Hi Pat:-)
Soro Dagostino: TY
Lilith Ivory: but I would suggest we stay with questioning Coop only while Timo is not present so he can answer for himself
Soro Dagostino: Not a problem.
Lilith Ivory: /me smiles
Lilith Ivory: any questions to Coop from you Soro and Arria?
Soro Dagostino: I was trying to confirm Calli's opinion, and I would have moved appointment of both suggested candidates.
Soro Dagostino: But, it can wait.
Lilith Ivory: why don?t you go for it Soro?
Arria Perreault: Coop, what is your motivation to be a member of the SC. How do you hink to can help CDS to be a SC member ?
Arria Perreault: as* a SC member
RogueGeek Cooperstone: I have spent a good deal of my real life working in the legal system. I have enjoyed my work on Law Review and feel that the SC would give me an opportunity to help out within the community where my skills would be well utilized
RogueGeek Cooperstone: The SC does an important job, and I think it is something I can do well in as a member.
RogueGeek Cooperstone: Done
Arria Perreault: Thank you
Lilith Ivory: any more questions arria?
Arria Perreault: no, thank you
Lilith Ivory: Soro?
Lilith Ivory: any questions from your side
Arria Perreault: I am sure that Coop and Timo are good candidates
Soro Dagostino: I have no questions for Coop.
Lilith Ivory: ok thank you Soro
Soro Dagostino: Timo should have time before the SC.
Lilith Ivory: Coop do you think you are conversant in our constitution and laws enough to be a valuable SC member and do you thing you are able to uphold them?
Lilith Ivory: (timo said he would do his best to show up but RL might have been a bitch to him too)
Lilith Ivory: Coop?
RogueGeek Cooperstone: I do. I have read both documents, both the Constitution and the Code of Laws. I understand that it is very important to not only show no bias in all cases, but it is equally important to be able to impartially and fairly determine what the case should be if there is a question .
RogueGeek Cooperstone: Every one should be equal before the law.
Lilith Ivory: Thank you Coop
RogueGeek Cooperstone: And yes, I am willing to help out because I know that things only run as well as people make it go.
Soro Dagostino: Madame Dean.
Lilith Ivory: and I agree with Calli and and Arria both Coop and Timo would be good new SC members
Lilith Ivory: yes Soro?
Widget Whiteberry: /me spies Timo
Soro Dagostino: This matter was tabled, before Coop arrived. I renew that motion
Soro Dagostino: That gives Timo time.
Lilith Ivory: why so Soro?
Soro Dagostino: And any other candidate that may be presented.
Arria Perreault: Second the motion
Arria Perreault: I think that both candidates may be present
Lilith Ivory: I would move to appoint Coop as he was present to answer our questions and table the appointment of Timo till he was able to come here too
Lilith Ivory: any second fopr my motion?
