1.1 All properties associated with and utilized by the Union's IC roleplay government must be owned by an administrator and at least one administrator must have access to each channel as to ensure that safety standards are met. Related but not necessarily associated servers such as party or caucus servers that lie outside IC regional jurisdiction do not need to be owned by the administrative team. However, such servers must promptly adhere to any bans or other determinations issued by the administrative team.
1.2 Properties that are created by the government, organized or promoted by the government for the residents, or use region branding are under the administrative jurisdiction of the UDS Administrative Team.
1.3 Satellite discord servers must be owned by a senior administrator, have posted in a public place the universal UDS rules, have a moderator discussion channel, and an announcements channel linked to the main server.

2.1 As social distancing and other measures to combat COVID-19 take affect across the globe, online communities are becoming increasingly prevalent places for discussion and communication. The internet is serving an increasingly important role in maintaining relationships between people. Subsequently, sites such as NationStates and ProBoards are taking seemingly unprecedented action against misinformation regarding COVID-19 such as theories that the virus is a government conspiracy, or that players should ignore expert medical advice. The Union of Democratic States' Administrative Team expects all players to abide by the policies set by sites that our community depends upon.

3.1 Should the IC Government have a need for funds as part of their mandate, they may submit a request to the Admin team in the #admin channel of the Executive Mansion discord server with the following information

Code:
What is the purchase,
Why does the executive want to make the purchase,
How much will it cost,
The timeline for when this purchase needs to be made, and,
Are there any cheaper/free options which would achieve a similar goal, if so, why have they not been chosen?

Subsequently, the admin team will review the request, and, at their discretion, make a fundraising campaign on the forum for the appropriate amount (which may be slightly increased for the purposes of covering transaction fees etc.). Following a successful conclusion of the campaign, the Admin team treasurer (at this time Phoenix) will contact the appropriate member of the IC government, and either make the purchase themselves and transfer the product to them, or reimburse the purchaser after a confirmed purchase. An unsuccessful campaign, or any other circumstances resulting in excess funds after the purchase, will result in the funds being maintained by the Administrative team, and either deposited in a general fund for discretionary use for the maintenance of UDS property, or put towards another request of the IC government, as approved by the Admin team. Appropriations of funds for stamp purchases and other such purposes already being fundraised for by the admin team are excluded from this policy. The admin team shall maintain the utmost level of transparency with regards to the disposal of these funds.
