Imperator Stephanus: Let us proceed to Agenda Item I - Internal Senate Matters

Imperator Stephanus: I still have not made a real effort to find a senate scribe. I do have a volunteer, but he cannot be here at our meetings and would rely on my recorded chat log.

Imperator Stephanus: I have another new item not mentioned-

Imperator Stephanus: Booker has real life responsibility regarding caregiving. That is why he is not here today

Imperator Stephanus: He has agreed we can appoint a backup for him. I would like a senator, privately, to indicate to me they would be willing to be a senate lead when Booker is not available. That would not involve only running meetings, but also working with Booker to help run the Senate and set the agenda. If you are interested, let me know in private.

Imperator Stephanus: Are there any other internal senate matters to discuss?

Imperator Stephanus: Very well, let us move on to Agenda Item II - Religious Life. Pontifex Maximus, do you have any religious matters you would like to discuss?
