"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.

It  was a question that Caimlyn had expected, but not one that he had 
been looking  forward to answering.  There was really no easy way to 
respond. "Almost everyone currently on the Council are founding 
members.  As a result, the application process was being finalized.  
The Ramesar are the  first to go through the process."

"I see."  From the way that Marconis answered made it clear that the 
answer was disappointing.  To make things worse it was the third 
'surprise' that the new delegation was dealt.  First, Watson and most 
of the Council gone when they arrived.  Second, the Venasians, and 
lastly what was being taken as a hap-hazard approach to Council 
membership.

"Will the applications process be delayed due to the unexpected 
departure of the Plantoc, Ambassador Watson, and company?"

Levy spoke up, "Emissary it is only fair that the sitting members of 
the Council have an opportunity to meet with you in Council. If there 
is a delay I expect it to be minor and expect business to resume 
quickly upon their return."

"Mr. Levy, unless I am wrong in my understanding of the Diplomatic 
Council and the role of Ambassadors, all members are present and 
accounted for.  The member governments are represented on the Council 
by qualified ambassadorial staff if not by a full ambassador."

"I can understand your concerns on the matter, Mr. Emissary," picked up 
Dai'Cou.  "As you can imagine, none of us take your application 
lightly.  We are all proper representatives of our government, but we 
do not have the leeway to vote on matters that our superiors have.  We 
will have to speak with them or our homeworlds before we are able to 
vote for acceptance.  With that said, the Council is meant to be open 
to those interested in participating.  It should not take us long to go 
over the information needed so we can make the appropriate decision."

Marconis bowed his head slightly to the Aqualish.  The answer seemed to calm 
any annoyance toward the situation.

{OOC: Pete withdrew his post. }

After some more chit chat, and sampling of the various cusisine, Marconis came 
to the Venasian Ambassador.

"I wish I could say that it is a pleasure to see your people again, Ambassador."
