Voting results from the last Parliament Sitting have been published this week and participation was reported to be 97%! This data shows that Asgardia’s parliament is in good spirits and that they’re carrying out their duties. AMPs continue volunteering their time and best efforts, representing all Asgardians in creating the first space nation. Following up from last week's report, parliament voted on six issues during the last sitting. Until Head of Nation publishes a decree confirming the details, we are unable to share all the outcomes of the votes with you. We can share one piece of good news, however. Chairman of the Citizenship committee, Mr. Benjamin Dell, was voted as Deputy Chair of Parliament for 100 votes in favour out of 107. We congratulate Mr Dell on his appointment. Mr Dell’s first task as Deputy Chair is to start taking the lead ono collecting economic proposals and synthesising them into a unified format that will be addressed at the next Parliament sitting where Parliament will be focussed on the task of kick-starting Asgardia’s economy. Parliament approved the allocation of resources to hold a physical sitting - passing with a majority of 79 votes. Chairman of Parliament, Mr Lembit Öpik expressed that the physical sitting would be beneficial for Parliament stating that the sitting would be used as an intensive session to focus on the development of Asgardia’s finances. Last week brought good news for the Culture Committee too, as MP and artist Cheryl Gallagher was appointed Executive Secretary of the Committee. In fact, during the weekend Ms Gallagher held a committee meeting. Among very interesting plans for the immediate and long term future, MP Gallagher reminded the committee that the committee should promote an atmosphere of trust, respect, clarity, accountability and work to develop the social health of Asgardia. The Committee believes that a holistic approach should be taken and aim to work in concert with other committees. Alexander Ryzhy, Chairman of the Finance Committee, shared with us that, in the last few weeks they have discussed few topics about National Currency Law, National Bank Law and Tax Law. The committee will generate a timetable for development and submission of proposals for Parliament's approval. They have an outline on a much anticipated and needed National Currency Bill created by MP Takuya Kanako that will soon be presented to Parliament. Certainly, this is a big step in Asgardia development. The PR parliament subcommittee is working with the IT department on facilitating more clear information about all members of parliament, so Asgardians can better know their representatives and directly communicate to their offices in the near future. Overall, the parliament of Asgardia continues building a solid foundation to facilitate the creation of the first Space Nation. It is not a small feat but we are united by a common goal. One humanity, one Unity.
