Subject: Re: SFC/DIP: Ramesar Welcome Reception
"I understand your surprise, Admiral. We are, for all intents and purposes,
a new race to this part of the galaxy. However, the best way to learn
about our neighbors, and the current challenges facing this part of space,
is to actively seek out and become acquainted with ones neighbors. The
Council seemed like the perfect opportunity to do just that. If fortunate
enough to be admitted to the Council, it is our hope to have our official
representative serve as the official point of contact between all peoples.
Thus eliminating the need to establish so many embassies abroad."
Dai'Cou had been standing with the main group and was sipping a glass of
Romulan ale. "Most of us double as the official representatives for our
government here on Earth, but you may find that you will still have to open
embassies elsewhere at some point. The members of the Council may be
important to their governments but they cannot be the sole voice of their
government since they are not the ruling body."
"Perhaps. What is entailed in the application process for the Council?"
Marconis answered his Aqualish host.
This was not a question that Dai'Cou had hoped would come up. From his
understanding of things, no one had ever been questioned in their request
to join the Council. He had also not been at the meeting when the Council
reviewed the request by the Ramesar to join. There must have been some
reason to do so, but he did not know the specifics. That did not mean that
he would not try and answer the question. "I believe that the application
is fairly simple. The primary need is to establish that the representative
is sent by the legal government ruling over the citizens of the applicant.
There are some other small details involved, but it is more a formality
than anything else."
"The application is not meant to make the Council a group of elite members.
The Council's goal is to create ties between members to prevent warfare.
Enlarging membership is in the best interest of all involved," added Koomah.
"How many applications has the Council received since it's formation, and how
many of them have been approved?"
It was clear by the questioning that Marconis was very much interested in the
application and it's formal process.
