This thread will be a place for the members of the New Member Committee to gather and discuss issues important to them. The Guidelines for the New Member Committee are:

Quote:
 
New Member Commission (NMC) – Terms of Reference

The objective of the NMC is to provide a recognised vehicle for ‘new members’ as a collective to become more actively involved in the region, provide views and reviews and influence the ongoing programme of improvement. To also support the following 3 principles:
1. Everyone has a friend
2. Everyone has the opportunity of a responsibility
3. Everyone gains an understanding of the culture, values and history of The South Pacific (TSP)

The NMC shall be chaired by a New Member, appointed by the Cabinet. The Chair will report directly to the Minister of the Region (MoR). The MoR shall take responsibility for reporting back to Cabinet, Forum Administrators and The Assembly, gaining approval for new initiatives, changes etc. and ensuring that such actions are effected within a reasonable time frame.

The MoR shall establish an area within their forum office for NMC discussion to take place. An up to date list of NMC members will also be made available and kept up to date.

Eligibility criteria for a ‘new member’ to serve on the commission are determined by the length of time a member has been a member on TSP forum. It is proposed that this should be no more than 6 months. No minimum term is defined. This is at the discretion of the MoR who could extend members involvement beyond the 6 month period i.e. they are actively engaged in ongoing discussions or assignments. Members engaged in Delegacy challenges and visiting Ambassadors are excluded from participation in the NMC.

The MoR shall have the authority to invite new members to join the committee as they see fit. ‘New members’ may also request involvement in the NMC by contacting the MoR. There is no proposed limit to the number of ‘new members’ that can serve on the New Member Commission.

The NMC will operate within the following remit:

1. To review the forum structure, accessibility and design from a ‘new member’ perspective.
2. Propose new ideas for widening the appeal to and heightening the level of activity by all members.
3. Assist in NationStates Regional Message Board Watching duties.
4. Assist with the Welcome Wagon.
5. Assist in identifying the needs of ‘new members’ so that the mentoring programme becomes more effective.
6. Provide assistance in conducting member surveys.

Just wanted to post that all new members (those having been here three months or less) are invited to serve on the New Member Committee. We currently have zero volunteers, and would really like to get this off the ground.

The job's not hard - just talk to other new members about how things are here: what you like, what you don't like, and then make recommendations to the cabinet (which is as simple as posting a message here, or PMing me) as to how to proceed, ideas on how to fix problems you perceive, or any new ideas for the region.

We want to hear from you, so please consider joining!
