Published in Clark #3

WHEREAS Talossa is a sanctuary for those of goodwill and the best of humankind cognizant of the fraught condition endured by many of our planet’s co-inhabitants, and

WHEREAS Talossa consists of homo sapiens; a species through providence and through the struggle and ingenuity of countless generations occupies a special place on this ‘pale blue dot’, and

WHEREAS Talossa recognizes and realizes, in a desire to contribute to the shared concerns and common destiny of the human family, its conscience as a people.

THEREFORE Subsubsection D.2.6.3 is added to el Lexhatx, which reads:

D.2.6.3 The Bureau for Humanitarian Aid and International Development (The Bureau) shall serve as the hub for the Kingdom of Talossa's support for disaster and poverty relief and other forms of humanitarian assistance, emergency response and the promotion of efforts towards socioeconomic development.

D.2.6.3.1 The Bureau shall operate under the auspices of the Ministry of Foreign Affairs. The Bureau shall be administered by an Administrator to be appointed by the Minister of Foreign Affairs with the approval of the Seneschal.

D.2.6.3.1.1 The Bureau shall be funded by contributions from individuals, nonprofit organizations and where deemed appropriate by the Ziu, legislative appropriations.

D.2.6.3.1.2 With respect to legislative appropriations its funding should be determined as a component of an approved Budget covering expected expenditures for an entire government term, with additional expenditures approved by the Ziu. For the purposes of funding decisions, additional expenditures includes disbursements composed of monies derived from private individual and organizational contributions.
