Good day Asgardia!

Civic Asgardia has put together a 'Stay Safe at Asgardia Gatherings' document for all Asgardia members planning on getting together this Unity Day weekend or in future with other Asgardia member they may be meeting around the world.

First meetings can be exciting, especially with a bold new future ahead of us in creating our great nation. However safety is important and we must approach these meetings wisely and with much thought. It is our hope that this document will help make them go safely and smoothly for all.

"You Can"

You can be the greatest person ever known,

You can have the most brilliant and vibrant mind there ever was,

Your laughter can give us a smile,

Your soul can embrace us all,

Your hearts depth of compassion can have no end,

For you are and you can.

by Lawrence Norrena

“Our Desires”

Of the moment, or of the day, or of the month, or of the year,

They grow and change as we,

When grasped or not we go on to try again,

For this we have no fear,

We learn the end is not the whole at the finish of our day,

For it is the thoughts, the fun, the quest, the toil, the pain,

Living our desires journey,

Win or lose the gift to us will always be the role we play.

By Lawrence Norrena

“Our Paths”

As we travel our lives,

Chosen paths weave our way,

Desires best route gives us each and every day,

Why remains unanswered,

How is the best we can do,

Where we are is our acceptance,

Knowing our dreams can make us new.

by Lawrence Norrena

Hello Asgardia!

Asgardia is growing every day. New members join our nation, they talk in our forums, they share ideas in our Facebook and Twitter groups. Many Asgardians want to volunteer their skills and knowledge help us grow.

Civic.Asgardia manages community involvement for NGO Asgardia. The larger organization handles space programs, business affairs, and nation-building. Civic.Asgardia handles volunteer management, project management, social media, and other community functions.

Volunteer applications for most technical, scholarly, governmental, or business positions are directed to staff at the NGO. Applications for community positions in our community area are processed by Civic.Asardia. NOTE: Asgardia does not possess nor is it planning space habitats at this time. Our primary focus in community management and business planning.

Civic sponsors regular rounds of recruiting for new volunteers. These are planned to occur every few months. Notices are posted in the Forum and in the Facebook groups. We will post vacancies for specific positions that need assistance, such as Social Media Specialist or Events Assistant.

Please understand that Civic is operated by volunteers. To keep our recruiting process efficient, we process applications in batches during the recruiting rounds.

While we accept volunteer applications at any time, if you contact us between recruiting rounds we will add your application to our files. If we need help, we review those pending applications individually and may interview people as needed.

For best results, it is suggested that members wait for a recruiting round to be announced so that each person may apply for the specific position that best matches their qualifications.

To help us process your application promptly, be sure to include the following information:

• Legal Name, in English
• Member ID
• Email address
• Specific Position applying for, or describe the type of duties you can offer
• Country of residence
• Year of birth
• Primary and secondary languages in which you are fluent
• Attached CV in English is requested

Please note that the official language for Asgardia is English. We support 11 other languages, but our daily business is conducted in English. Strong fluency and communication skills in English are needed for all volunteers.

Thank you for your interest in helping Asgardia: the Space Nation succeed.

Sincerely,

Rebekah Berg, Head of Community Affairs, NGO Asgardia

Hello everyone who gave feedback on the Constitution Draft!

We are so incredibly amazed by the amount of feedback we received on the constitution draft. There were some amazing discussions on the thread and it made it quite challenging for the compilation team to get them together in time for the deadline.

However, Official Asgardia wants to acknowledge in person everybody who contributed to the discussions by listing publicly everyone who gave feedback by listing their full name and their country they currently reside in. However, we would never do this without your permission. So please, if you commented on the constitution draft discussion thread with feedback and suggestions, please let us know in this thread if we can do so as soon as you can! We will compare against the constitution draft discussion thread to confirm and pass your name along to the legal team.

EDIT:

Please remember this thread is for everyone who commented and gave feedback on the constitution draft to give us permission to publicly post their real name and country in a thank you for contributing to the conversation. If you did not contribute, then there is no need for consent or comment. Thank you!

However, if you did contribute but do not consent, we will not include you in the thank you.

Kind regards,
Rebekah Berg
