  • Protocol Guide of Guam (PDF Format)
    (Exhibit A) THE ISLAND OF GUAM PROTOCOL GUIDE DEVELOPMENT The Protocol Guide of the Territory of Guam was first released in 1981. The Committee on Rules of the 16th Guam Legislature passed Resolution No. 58 which established a Sub-committee to draft a State Protocol Guide for Guam. The State Protocol Guide serves as a reference for official etiquette and protocol. Ensuring respect and good manners are practiced to prevent detracting from the main purpose of the visit or event. A second publication of the Protocol Guide of Guam was released by the 22nd Guam Legislature. In 1993, a Subcommittee on Protocol Guide was formed and after careful deliberations, updates were made to the existing guide. The Subcommittee was comprised of the following: Senator Madeleine Z. Bordallo, Chairperson Senator Elizabeth P. Arriola, Member Senator Antonio R. Unpingco, Member Ms. Portia Guerrero, Governor’s Office Ms. Merci J. Hernandez, Superior Court of Guam Mr. Jose Santos, Mayor’s Council of Guam Consul General Kyung Tai Park, Consular Corps of Guam Lt. Keith Spencer, Protocol Office Commander Naval Forces Marianas Major Ida M. Jones, Protocol Office Commander of the 13th Air Force, Andersen Tech. Sergeant Julia McKenny, Protocol Office Commander of the 13th Air Force, Andersen Rev. Adrian Cristobal, Archdiocese of Agana Rev. Neil Culbertson, President, Guam Ministerial Association Mr. Darryl A. Borja Taggerty, Office of Guam Delegate Robert A. Underwood This latest revision of the Protocol Guide of Guam is authorized by the 35th Guam Legislature Committee on Rules. The Subcommittee reviewed previous editions of the guide and updated it to reflect today’s official protocols.

There are a few cases when owners of properties have built apartments upon their lands which are now R-2 but essentially, they have been down-zoned under the I TANO-TA PLAN and I feel that under such a situation, they should be grandfathered. While I am sure that such situations will be allowed by the plan to continue the current uses, they cannot rebuilt the same should the current structures be destroyed by earthquakes and fire if it occurs and that does not appear right. Accordingly, the Legislature should consider a grandfather's clause to the situation. I believe that Laws should be made for the convenience of the people, not to inconvenient the population.

In the lists below all entities included in the list of countries are included. Names of legislatures The legislatures are listed with their names in English and the name in the (most-used) native language of the country (or the official name in the second-most used native language in cases where English is the majority "native" language). The names of the legislatures differ from country to country. The most used name seems to be National Assembly, but Parliament and Congress are often used too. The name Parliament is in some cases even used when in political science the legislature would be considered a congress. The upper house of the legislature is often named the Senate. In some cases, countries use very traditional names. In Germanic countries variations Thing (e.g. Folketinget) are used. A thing or ting was the governing assembly in Germanic societies, made up of the free men of the community and presided by lawspeakers. A variant is the use of the word Tag or Dag (e.g. Bundestag), used because things were held at daylight and often lasted all day.
