Two years ago, three of us decided to realize our vision of an alliance based on true friendship, liberty and equality. A tiny alliance of DAWN's type making it to its second birthday is never obvious. However, we are here and we are proud of what we have achieved. Our second year found us in the war with Gramlins, at the aftermath of our defeat in the Bipolar war. Together with our friends in IRON, we were finally able to eventually make them give up their outrageous demands. Then we had to pay the heavy reps agreed upon at the end of the bipolar war. Such conditions are not a promise to any alliance, let alone an alliance as small as DAWN. However, we were able to finish paying the reparations fast, with the help of friends. While our obvious friends were there to help us, our efforts at the time were supported by friends we did not know, or hardly knew, about until then. This won't be forgotten and we still appreciate the help we got at that time. One of the founding principles of the Democratic Alliance of Wise Nations open democracy. This means that all information is available to all members and they are encouraged to take part in our internal discourse and communications with other alliances. Naturally, some members are more interested in politics than others and serve more in government positions. However, I can proudly say that all members, without exception, took the opportunity to get involved in our community life. In the last year we were able to formalize our long standing special relations with the Grand Lodge of Free Masons in an MDoAP. We value our friendship with the Free Masons a lot and are proud to call them allies. At the same time, we strengthened our relations with our other allies, TORN and IRON, improved communications and, through other means, further solidified our relations with them. We also etablished and advanced friendly relations with quite a few other alliances. With or without a treaty, we see them as friends and are happy to work with them. As always, we are extending a hand of friendship to everybody who is willing to cooperate with us in any way they see fit. As one of DAWN's cofounders, I am happy and proud of our community and how it operates. We are looking ahead for the challenges awaiting us in our third year and hope that it will be as good as the previous two. You are all invited to celebrate with us in our channel, #DAWN. Golan 1st President The Democratic Alliance of Wise Nations

Sad to see quantum go, happy to see freemasonry growing. Good luck to the Lodge and all masons, new and old.

Congratulations to the ODN and its new government.

Thanks to everybody for your congratulations [quote name='Cataduanes' timestamp='1299109611' post='2650056']Powerless is not a word I would associate with Golan , congratz guys and gals.[/quote]Thanks The president (the position, not the person) is a personal embodiment of the the spirit of DAWN and as such, his/her voice is heard. I also like to think that my past record gives what I say some extra value. Like any other member, I am expected to speak my mind and I try to do this when possible However, as president, I have no executive power and I am bound to follow the policy set by the Council, except for some internal procedural matters. [quote name='Banksy' timestamp='1299111849' post='2650119']xfd someone let ffrog into government.[/quote]I am very proud to have him in our government. [quote name='Zessa' timestamp='1299123070' post='2650592']Are you democratic yet? Also congrats and such.[/quote]We have always been democratic. In our first days, the founders temporarily led the alliance collectively in a triumvirate as there was no way to make meaningful elections in such a tiny alliance.

[quote name='Heya' timestamp='1299105954' post='2649969']How do you determine who the President is?[/quote]The Council and the President are elected (separately) by all members of DAWN.

While the General Assembly is the sovereign body of DAWN, the Council is the day to day policy making body. The Chief Councilor is a member of the Council who is appointed by the Council to serve as the head of the government. The Coordinators serve under the Council to take care of certain areas. The President is largely a powerless figurehead. DAWN is facing external and internal challenges and I am sure that the new government will handle them well. DAWN will continue to work with its friends for our mutual benefit and will help them in all ways possible. We are also offering a hand of friendship to all elements in this world willing to be friends to us and our allies. Golan 1st President The Democratic Alliance of Wise Nations
