The corridor petition seeks merger with Kelvant. The whole-Territory petition seeks Korda statehood. The JMC determination displaced the scheduled corridor referendum with the Convention process; the Court upheld that determination. A Convention proposal is not itself a completed change in territorial status.
Convention decision: proposal adopted, status unchanged
The thirty-three-delegate Korda Territory Convention adopted the amended Northern Lake Settlement 28–5 (NRS-Y13-0750) after public drafting (NRS-Y13-0749), a conditional response from Dessa Orin (NRS-Y13-0748) and a non-binding Mire–Rell memorandum (NRS-Y13-0747). Only the three fixed northern districts LC-N1, LC-N2 and LC-N3 are proposed for merger with Kelvant. The southern lakefront and interior remain together in Korda, with enforceable continuity of services required before any actual transfer and an ongoing Statehood route subject to §15.2. The Joint Committee’s factual compilation (NRS-Y13-0746) recommended no outcome. Neither the Convention vote nor the proposal changes boundaries or Statehood: affected-voter ratification and the independent merger and audit approvals are outstanding. No referendum date or result is established.
