While his activity has waned in recent times, when he's around he's always a reliable presence to provide his opinions and critique in draft threads. His keen eye and thorough deconstruction makes him the perfect person to spot illegalities, his debating style allows for him to participate in legality debates with a clear voice, and his general support for newer players and authors and kindness allows him to continue to fulfil the 'mentor' role as perfectly as before. I don't know if he'll accept due to activity constraints, but if he is available and willing to put himself forward for it there is no better candidate at the moment.

No thanks; I think it would be better for someone who has at least authored a GA resolution to be on GenSec than meKenmoria wrote:I agree that we aren’t spoilt for nominees. Simone and Magecastle do seem the closest. There’s also Comfed, activity permitting.

I would say I'd suggest (in alphabetical order), Bears Armed (if they want their old gig back), Goober, Honeydew, Hulldom, Kenmoria, Magecastle, Sanctaria, if they are willing. I note Mage said he is interested, and I kind of suspect Kenmoria will decline but I'd be positively surprised if he accepts.

Attempted Socialism wrote:To blatantly piggy-bag on Bears, I will note that GenSec aren't chosen for their legislative prowess or enthusiasm, but rather their ability to adjudicate and develop the rules in a way that promotes engagement while not disrupting established precedent too much. Ability to write legal resolutions is not the same as ability to adjudicate and develop the rules. I would prefer new GenSec members to be clearly invested in the rules, whether as proponent or opponent of specific rules and rulings. This means placing emphasis on their activity when it concerns legality in drafts and in challenges, rather than how many resolutions or drafts they have authored. With that in mind, I think some diligence is due for the people who nominate: Would you trust your nominee to interpret, help with, adjudicate, and develop, the rule-set, in an impartial and engaging manner? What evidence can you point to, if you should convince someone who knows nothing of your nominee that this is the case? If you search the GA forum for a player name and "challenge" or "legality", what comes up?
As such there are several nominees who could be considered nominated for the wrong reasons; The number of resolutions they have gotten passed, the number of drafts they have posted, or how popular they are in general. A legislative record, enthusiasm for the game, or likability, are generally good, admirable traits, but they are not, on their own, qualifying for GenSec. Nice to have, not need to have, in other words.
With that in mind, I will support Wallenburg's nomination. Wallenburg is sometimes direct (At times bordering on abrasive), but they honestly and diligently engage with the rules, and their command of the rules, precedent, and already-passed legislation is impressive. They're able to both work within the existing rule-set and challenge rules or rulings based on the effects they will have on the game. And I believe they're able to deal fairly and impartially in challenges.
