Could somebody please explain why the original (illegal) repeal enjoyed almost unanimous support while the current repeal is suffering from a wave of unexplained (or very, very inadequately explained) opposition?

Still willing to answer questions.

I will reiterate the only thing I said in the aforementioned chat: "GA#663 does the equivalent of telling the Russell Group to set up a committee to co-ordinate merchandise sales across its unis, then telling them they can set any sale restrictions they want, including but not limited to...

Non-WA. I dislike this proposal for many reasons. Most pertinently for this thread's purposes, though, it does not "requir[e] member states to treat sex workers like any other employed person" (as the IFV asserts). The World Assembly does not explicitly protect the right to practice any named...

I am not arguing that all "fans" are WA citizens. I do not even mention them besides a fair-use quotation of the target resolution. I remain unconvinced that the scale of the donations accrued via merchandise sales will constitute such a substantial portion of WA revenue - and at so much...

I believe that the burden on member states that would be alleviated through merchandise sales would be minimal enough that those sales would not make a substantiative difference to the situation. Doubly so when you consider proceeds must be prioritised "to fund the humanitarian activities of the...

Author. Happy to answer questions.

This is quorate and will go to vote between 25th and 29th June.

NatSov. This information may not be targetted to those leaving the military. Bad-faith petitions may be denied, ideally at the first opportunity possible. Defiance of orders has always been a good reason to expel people (conscientious objectors or not) from the military - dishonourably, I may...

Diplomatic shouting matches are matters of international conflict.

I did this.

Greatest Cesnica, in his unwavering benevolence, has singlehandedly ushered GA#643 "Reducing Addiction" through these mostly-esteemed chambers, which requires member states to create and advertise drug addiction services and ensure that addicts can access them. This applies whether those member...

See Article d!

Article a allows member states to forbid sex work. That is the entire point of the Article.

I am still Tinhampton. This version is slightly reworded from what it was last submission.

I am Tinhampton.

This was marked illegal for describing the nominee as an "everyman."

Neutral state militaries can fulfil all of these functions.

Hiya. This isn't RMGM, by the way :P

I withdrew this due to the controversy surrounding Article g(ii). (This does not mean I no longer believe this is a worthy proposal to pursue in principle.) It will be resubmitted, with different text, in the near future.

CAUSE GIRLS IS PLAYERS TOO LADIES GET MONEY ALL AROUND THE WORLD CAUSE GI---I mean here to answer questions.

Non-WA and not voting, but here to deliver a warning about the contents of this resolution. The obvious point is that it establishes a World Assembly Police Department. It is not clear that this is a preferable solution to - for instance - requiring member states to work to arrest serious...

Non-WA and not voting, but here to deliver a warning about the contents of this resolution. It will: permit the WAJC to issue an arrest warrant against anyone who harms someone living in a member state, so long as the WAJC believes it deserves jail time (Articles I.2, II.3 and II.4 read...

A. I don't believe that students at virtual schools should be deprived of the access to menstrual products enjoyed by those at physical schools. B. Schools are not expected or required to make exact stocktakes of how many of their students/staff menstruate. They must merely have enough for...

Flagrantly C&Ped from my NS forum post on the matter. Two points! 1. 537's definition of harmful activities are too narrow: for instance, it does not generally allow assemblies to be broken up where they are organised in a manner that threatens participant health. 2. 537 contains overreaching...

Given the masses of unexplained, post-Magecastle oppositions, I feel morally obliged to link to my NS-side explanation of how and why I diverge from his thoughts.

I am here, for obvious reasons.

Somebody who'd just like a couple of tampons at hand and doesn't have any major medical issues is not a "patient in genuine need" of menstrual products.

To be clear, this resolution does not require that menstrual products be available free of charge in all times, places and situations; only as prescribed by Articles a(i-iv). Their producers may still profitably sell them to wholesalers and by supermarkets in designated aisles, for instance.

So that schools meet the needs of both menstruating staff and students. Businesses with physical presences can plan for their toilets to be used by non-menstruators. Installers of unmanned portakabins... cannot.
