Oh my goodness, who let the author of the bill in here!?

I forgot that I might effect the delegate's vote on this bill. I change my vote to abstain. To answer your question, yes, I don't think this bill is well edited. I don't like the "for example" part, which is primarily why I'm voting against it!

Horrendous words to be found in a WA resolution. Also, I don't think its operative terms are as strong as the author purports the bill to be (Strength: Significant)... I don't see that. Otherwise, it looks great. Abstain

I, Hundred Worlds, do hereby solemnly swear that during my term as Deputy Minister of World Assembly Affairs, I will uphold the ideals of Democracy, Freedom, and Justice of The Region of The North Pacific. I will use the powers and rights granted to me through The North Pacific Constitution and...

Not the oath! Don't do it to the oath!

notes: -Only nicotine falls under the expanded "tobacco or related species" definition of "Tobacco Products" -"Tobacco companies" is not defined in any way. Presumably the author would intend the definition to be as extensive as for tobacco products, i.e. if it is associated with tobacco in any...

I worry about the effect sections 3-4 would have in a corporatocracy or oligarchy. "Here, learn some stuff (the stuff you'll need to work in the factory where you were born), and it'll be free if your parents work for us or if you promise to work for us when your done" type deal. Are there other...

What You're Doing Now: Just brought on-board not three days ago. Postless. This is the first time I've heard from anyone in the Ministry. I'm glad to be aboard! Thoughts for the Future: I'd like a post somewhere excellent and interesting, of course!

I move to amend the quoted oath of Section 4.1 Paragraph 1 by substituting the term "swear" with the bracketed phrase "[swear/affirm]" and that the quote tag be fixed to read "Oath of Office" rather than "Quote:". i.e. I call for a formal debate and vote to be held on this amendment :I'm_kidding:

Thanks, abc! And thank you, Bootsie. I am honored to serve The North Pacific as Deputy Speaker, and I look forward to a great term with you, Owenstacey, and all the staff here in the Speaker's Office.

I, Hundred Worlds, do hereby solemnly swear that during my term as Deputy Speaker, I will uphold the ideals of Democracy, Freedom, and Justice of The Region of The North Pacific. I will use the powers and rights granted to me through The North Pacific Constitution and Legal Code in a legal...

I say, never mind about my motion to vote. I withdraw the bill from consideration.

I move for a vote. Is there a second?

I am no longer defending this bill. Now, I would like you to recommend ideas to improve it. For instance, the most senior citizens can be appointed and then do absolutely nothing for forty-nine days--I would not have thought of that possibility without this important conversation. So if you...

The personal touch comes from the fact that the Senior Citizens are self-selecting. People who've got a lot to offer would have two, and let me point out not mutually exclusive, options: join the MHA and participate in the CCC, eventually as a Senior Citizen. How members are recruited and...

One very important thing that the Committee does is appoint the Senior Citizens for a period of time. It may seem trivial, but the act of drafting even this simple a resolution will open some people's eyes--and minds--to the wonderful freedom and flexibility that comes with writing legislating...

I would say, then, that you miss my point entirely. Not that templates are a bad thing--they're not, they're super important for getting new members into the community. But uniform telegrams, while informative and necessary, are lacking that human touch--the intentional relationship that...

It makes sense that there are lots of Government Officials here because you guys are the ones that are here first, while other citizens may not see this for a day or two (or more! :gasp:). The bill also creates a discussion zone exclusively for citizens that have never held office. It would...

I quick put in the preamble in five minutes. The bill itself took a week in the process. I know it comes right up against what the MIA does, but there are significant differences. I was thinking of this TG from Kasch (notice the [your name] bit) when I compared that to this TG from Sil ...

I was wrong in my preamble there, Siwale was kind enough to welcome me and we had a nice chat. They even greeted me in Discord over personal message. Nevertheless, this designates three citizens to take on special responsibilities. It specifically excludes individuals who have already...

nah :headbang:

Against. Being too weak, this bill should be tabled in lieu of a better one. The bill is unenforceable in countries where the worst "health and addictive effects commonly caused by tobacco products," the ones this bill seemingly tries to target, are not recognized by the government. Similarly...

Don't worry, I'm sure tons of people find this to be quite a confusing process (myself included). Apparently there is (1) the provisional acceptance post, then (2) a security check post, then (3) a second check, then a (4) confirmation post, and after that comes (5) masking. It's kind of...

To your point, IA, we should assume that the WACMD would be utilizing that very library. This resolution would not create a new database but a new way of accessing and organizing a segment of the existing library. Since it deals with public health, I think the governments of the world have a...

Thanks! Looking forward to working with you! :tnp:
