Lazia, 30 July 2023 — The office of Presidential Secretary has been renamed the Greffier-Executive (Dutch: Executieve Griffier), and its bureau the Chamber Greffe; the Speaker of the Lazian Chamber has been renamed the Greffier-Consular (Raadsgriffier).

The office of Presidential Secretary became the Greffier-Executive and the Speaker of the Lazian Chamber the Greffier-Consular, their bureaux renamed to match. The changes continued the Confederation’s adoption of Dutch-republican nomenclature, of a piece with the restyling of its two highest offices as Lord-Stadtholder and Lord-Grand Pensionary earlier the same year.
