,Namaste!

Everyone is wondering about how 4th level verification will work and about how we will get our IDs.

No one has a set answer at the moment, nothing is set in stone, all of this is still in the decision making process!  At the moment, it appears that 4th level verification will require a citizen to go to an Asgardian Embassy in their country and produce their Identification in order to receive their ID cards.  If there is only one Embassy or Consulate in each represented country getting there could be difficult for some people.

So, while I was on the Forum reading various posts, something interesting popped up:

Rebekah listed what theses things we are running for, are!

Debutant -- A City Level leader with a singular focus on a city government, (Like a mayor)

Strategist -- A District level leader. (Like a County Executive)

Trendsetter -- A National leader, representing a Nation.

Ambassador -- Representing one of 6 Regions

None of these positions are Parliamentary positions!  Elections for Parliament are something different and how that will be happening is yet to be decided.

So, I am running for a Debutant position, a "mayor" as it were. If I was an elected official of Asgardia, wouldn't I be able to do the verification of Asgardians in my area or city? Likewise, I live in Western New York, USA, so I am going to pick on Buffalo, NY. Lets say our Strategist lives in Buffalo. Two hours North of were I live.  His/her governmental level would be similar to a County Executive; our County Clerk's office here issues passports. They take down your information and give you the forms,  then those forms go to Albany, NY, Albany issues the physical passports and then sends them back to the County Clerk Office, all you have to do is pick it up at your County Clerk's office. For me, my County Clerk is less than 20 miles away! Even, if it had to go through Buffalo, that is a 2 hour ride, I could go up there for that!  Now, if there is only one Embassy and lets say they put it in New York City near the United Nations.  That is close to a 12 hour trip from where I live and NYC is an expensive city!  If you live in Los Angeles, you would have to fly clear across the country to reach NYC.

Not all Americans are rich!  lol  Myself, I'm considered poor and so just running to New York City, would be out of the question.  I would let the local representatives of Asgardia do the verifications, send them on to the issuing level, have the cards sent to the local representative to be hand issued to the citizens.

Thoughts?

Merhaba, Sevgili Asgardians,

Bugün başlayıp 9 Mart'a kadar, son oylama dönemine girdik. Tüm adaylarla birlikte, bu seçim ve ulusumuzun geleceği için kendimizi hazırlıklı kılmak için çok uğraş verdik. Biliyorum ve anlıyoruz ki, birçok arkadaşımız, Asgardianlar, bu platformları ve oyları ciddi olarak düşünüyorlar.

Bu platformları yeniden değerlendirmenizi ve nihai oylarınızı 9 Mart'a kadar kullanmanızı rica ederim.

Think this book by Yuval noah Harari should be our root of education.

For those who havnt read it, please do , its an amazing book explanning the origin of human kind and their developmant.

A must know facts and theories by any future asgardian citizen in my opinion.

Before we launch into our weekly update, on behalf of all members of Parliament, we wanted to wish Dr. Igor Ashurbeyli a happy birthday. A true visionary, without whom there would be no Asgardia and it would be a big step back for humanity’s journey into space. We wish our Head of Nation a long and happy life in the hopes that he can see his dreams realised. This week we have exciting news about how we do things differently in Asgardia, how to start using our very own currency, Solars, and the preparations for our next physical session in Tallinn (Estonia) in November. Our readers may remember that one of the approved items during our last Parliament session was the change of names for the months on the Asgardian calendar. 54 votes in favour, 45 against and 8 abstentions approved the new version of the calendar. This has been the most divided voting result so far in Asgardia, with a noticeably small difference between the yes and no votes. Chair of Parliament, Lembit Opik informed MPs last week that our Head of Nation, Dr. Igor Ashurbeily, has decided not to issue the correspondent decree and encourage a deeper dialogue, instead, so more MPs can agree on either side of the issue at a later time. This is a very significant sign of how things are done in Asgardian politics, where unity is more than just a word. Also this week, the first transactions with Solars, the internal cryptocurrency in Asgardia, have occurred. A a story written by MP Ugur Aydin was bought by another MP, Kudret Sembil. A second transaction occurred when Ugur sold a figurine to MP Helena A. If you want to test your solars (all Asgardian residents have 100 Solars in their wallets) the way to do it is as follows: - Go to our webpage, Asgardia.space - Search the name of the Asgardian resident you want to buy from (or donate to) - Make sure you see the “new profile view” - Below the picture, name and status you will see the button to add him or her as a friend, and just below, a button for sending solars. - Click on it and you would be able to choose the amount and write a comment if you wish to do so. It could be a good way to start moving items or services within Asgardians. Of course, we are just starting and we can’t “earn” solars (other than receiving donations or payments from other Asgardians) or exchange them by other currencies yet. However, by exploring this option we will start moving in the right direction. Our goal is to create a sustainable, vibrant and just economy independent from fiat money. Finally, in preparation for our physical session in November, our focus is on starting our economy and creating a frame for doing business in Asgardia. The Trade and Commerce Committee has finalized all the processes with their priority legislation with the six Acts that were developed within the committee: - The Asgardia Companies Act - The Asgardia Intellectual Properties Act - The Asgardia Consumer Act - The Asgardia Business Act - The Asgardia Business Grants Act - The Asgardia Tax Act These acts have now been sent to the Parliament Chair and Coordinator for recommendations and approvals. Editing of the Acts will continue as they transition from one department to the next. The business proposal database registry has had another name change as suggested by the Minister, it has changed from Business Activity Development Database to Business Development Activity Registry or BDAR for short. We are very excited about the registry and it is now considered the official registry for Trade and Commerce business proposals and activities. 25 Asgardians already registered within the registry and continue to develop the program as well as assist all those registered with their business pursuits. These are exciting times as we put valuable processes in place that will aid in the future economy of Asgardia. Our motto for the BDAR system is “Developing Business Today for Tomorrow's Future” We should be rolling out our entire BDAR program by the end of this year. Asgardia is living exciting times of growth and development, getting every day a bit closer to our goal. One Humanity, One Unity.
