The next item on the agenda is The Alliance of Gloria Terrorist Attack. I have prioritised this item above items that were scheduled earlier due to its pressing concern.
It is with regret that I confirm that The Alliance of Gloria was the victim of a raid by The West Pacific Armed Forces. Make no mistake, unprovoked hostile action by a Game Created Region against a small regional community is an act of terrorism. We will not tolerate it.
Our thoughts are with the Alliance of Gloria and we will do all we can to help.
We must now consider what we can do to safeguard the Commonwealth, her Member Nations and Partner Regions in the future. Do you have any suggestions?

The West Pacific is a bully.
Unfortunately there is nothing substantial we can do, other than offer pastoral support and advise on future security measures - I am sure you are better placed to do that than me.
The Commonwealth Security Group should be informed of the attack. I think it may be useful for them to operate a kind of terrorist watchlist. Add the names of both the West Pacific and the individual raiders to it. There may be nothing we can do to seek justice now, but their names will be there in the future and if there is ever a time we can act we wont forget them.
I would ask that you consider joining the Security Group. I realise you may feel that its better for the HoC to keep out of the Groups, but right now we are a skeleton crew and we need these Groups to be working efficiently. I would feel much better knowing that an illustrious former Worldwide Defender Leader such as yourself was involved in heading up our security Group.

I have joined the Security Group and made relevant measures there, including the Terrorist Watchlist that you have suggested. The draft working definition of terrorism that I have used is:
Furthermore, in order for an act to be labelled terrorism, the Head of the Commonwealth must give approval. The working definition must also be revised every three months to ensure it remains current and anyone on the WatchList will be reviewed monthly.
Is there any objection to the working definition I have drafted above?

I have no objection, but I would prefer that the Security Group draft a full policy document in relation to terrorism for approval by this committee. It would also be prudent to afford the Security Group with a private sub-forum for the discussion of sensitive information. Access should be granted to the Head of the Commonwealth, the Chairperson of the Security Group, the Director of Administration and anyone else that all three of these agree should be granted access. |

An update on the events taking place on the ground in The Alliance of Gloria:
Overnight, Commonwealth Coalition Forces moved into the Alliance of Gloria in order to liberate the region and to fix some of the damage the terrorists carried out. In attendance was Balwo from Algora and Lemmingtopias from Atlantis, using the Commonwealth Forces flagship HMS The Trident.
The Commonwealth is now in effective control of the region until Krogon returns. The liberation efforts are ongoing, it will take another 26 hours until the region is fully secure. I want to thank Balwo/BlackMage for his quick efforts to join the coalition forces, which enabled us to victory.
This was the first military operation of the Commonwealth and shows that we are ready to act in the interests of our allied regions when the need arises.

Heroes of the Commonwealth. As a Policy document for terrorism is now being discussed in the Security Group, i move that we move onto the next item on the agenda, returning to the issue of terrorism once that policy document is finalised and returning to the specific issue of The Alliance of Gloria once the military operation on the ground has concluded. |

This item is back up for discussion. I am happy to give an update on the situation on the Ground.
After some days the Liberation Forces accumulated enough influence to banject the last of the raiders. I elected to continue the operation until Krogon returned and I set about trying to get hold of him. Eventually I managed to get hold of him by email. As per my advice, he has removed Delegate powers from the WA Delegate to ensure this doesn't happen again. He has also agreed to allow HMS The Trident to retain administrative controls over the region to assist in its security. I have now ended the mission and HMS The Trident has vacated the region.
My main concern for the security of the region in the future is that Krogon is busy with school and there is the risk he could CTE, making the region more of a target to raiders.
I call upon the Commonwealth Security Group to begin work on a Terrorism Policy Document.

I call upon the Commonwealth Security Group to begin work on a Terrorism Policy Document. Seconded I look forward to publishing the draft Terrorism Policy Document within two weeks, after which I will resign as Chair of the Security Group. An update from the Senate: the Senate has voted in favour of granting ex post facto approval to the military operation in TAOG. With the region back under sovereign control I consider this matter closed. |
