[font=Open Sans, Frutiger, Frutiger Linotype, Segoe UI, Helvetica Neue, Arial][size=120]For the safety and security of our region, we ask that all [url=https://www.nationstates.net/page=un][color=#ff9900]World Assembly[/color][/url] (WA) member nations in the South Pacific endorse the members of the SPCG, as well as the Delegate.

[list]
[*][font=Open Sans, Frutiger, Frutiger Linotype, Segoe UI, Helvetica Neue, Arial][size=120]Have maintained [url=https://thesouthpacific.org/w/get-involved][color=#ff9900]citizenship[/color][/url] for at least six consecutive months prior to the date of their application to the Coral Guard; and[/size][/font]
[*][font=Open Sans, Frutiger, Frutiger Linotype, Segoe UI, Helvetica Neue, Arial][size=120]Meet the requirements for influence and endorsements set and published by the Council on Regional Security[/size][/font]
[/list]

[font=Open Sans, Frutiger, Frutiger Linotype, Segoe UI, Helvetica Neue, Arial][size=150][color=#1089e6][b]Process[/b][/color][/size][/font]

[font=Open Sans, Frutiger, Frutiger Linotype, Segoe UI, Helvetica Neue, Arial][size=120][color=#1089e6][b]Step 1[/b][/color]: Ensure that you meet all the requirements listed above.[/size][/font]

[font=Open Sans, Frutiger, Frutiger Linotype, Segoe UI, Helvetica Neue, Arial][size=120][color=#1089e6][b]Step 2[/b][/color]: Write up an application which provides:[/size][/font]

[*][font=Open Sans, Frutiger, Frutiger Linotype, Segoe UI, Helvetica Neue, Arial][size=120]One (or several) paragraphs arguing why the Council should appoint you to this position of high trust.[/size][/font]
[/list]

[font=Open Sans, Frutiger, Frutiger Linotype, Segoe UI, Helvetica Neue, Arial][size=120][color=#1089e6][b]Step 3[/b][/color]: Send your application to a [url=https://thesouthpacific.org/g/crs?asc=true][color=#FF9900][b]member of the CRS[/b][/color][/url]. You can do this by a variety of methods (a telegram, a private message on the forum, or a direct message on Discord).[/size][/font]

[font=Open Sans, Frutiger, Frutiger Linotype, Segoe UI, Helvetica Neue, Arial][size=120]The CRS will review your application. This can take a number of days to three weeks. The Council will likely have additional questions which they will communicate to you via the method of your application. Following a formal vote within the Council, it will decide whether to appoint you to the Coral Guard and notify the Assembly of its decision.[/size][/font]

[font=Open Sans, Frutiger, Frutiger Linotype, Segoe UI, Helvetica Neue, Arial][size=120]Please be advised that meeting the requirements does not automatically guarantee that the application will be successful. These mechanical conditions are one of several factors which the Council considers in its determination.[/size][/font]
