Hello @@NAME@@,
In order to further the World Assembly's mission and better represent what The North Pacific's World Assembly nations intend, my government's Ministry of WA Affairs has an "Information For Voters" program.
[b]Current Resolution at Vote:[/b]
Vehicle Emissions Convention ( [url]http://www.nationstates.net/page=ga[/url] )

[b]Ministry of WA Affairs Review[/b]
[i]by Minister [nation=short]Mall[/nation][/i]
The WA Affairs Ministry took into consideration several factors when compiling an opinion on this piece of legislation. Looking first at the topic at hand we can see that a worthy subject is being addressed: concerns regarding international pollution. We must then turn to the actual wording of the resolution for further analysis.
The preamble and definitional clauses are all acceptable, and the first three clauses appear to be reasonable in achieving the resolutions stated goal of reducing emissions and thereby reducing pollution. Trouble is encountered, however, when the fourth operative clause is examined: [quote](iv) Encourages the automotive industry to set a target and strive towards said target of a 75% reduction in vehicle emissions in comparison to current levels.[/quote] To this Ministry the clause appears to be a clear contradiction, wherein it states that automotive industries may set a target goal to achieve, but then states what the target is.
The final operative clauses are standard environmental concerns and methods.
If you believe that regulating the automotive industry under any circumstances by the WA is unacceptable, that this resolution does not go far enough to regulate them, that the fourth operative clause is too large an error to allow onto the books of international law, or that the GA should not exist, this office encourages you to vote AGAINST.
If you believe that the subject matter at hand requires GA legislation and that this bill is moderate enough to be palatable but not so moderate as to be useless and that the error in operative clause 4 is either not an error or not a large concern, then this office encourages you to vote FOR.
If you do not care, are confused by this review, or simply are torn between both sides, then this office encourages you to ABSTAIN.
[b]Final Note[/b]
As I compose this message, no one has voted. I govern my vote by how the regional members vote on the forum or by telegramming me, so you can easily change it.

If anything about this is confusing or annoying, please be unafraid to ask questions or request that I exempt your nation from receiving Information For Voters messages.
Thank you for reading,
Your Delegate,
