Against.

I think this nominee is commendable, unfortunately this proposal does not make the case well enough.

Despite feedback being offered on the forums by a couple of individuals, while some of it was accepted, others were not and there was no response provided. As such, when I read this resolution, I have a number of questions. From what did Halo do as an Arbiter in The East Pacific to why are the signatories of the POP Accord needing to be listed (including regions I have never heard of before) to questioning their contributions to NSToday (many TNPers know this "newspaper" to be of questionable quality and reliability).

I would hope that the authors would continue to draft this proposal and interact with those offering feedback on the SC forums.

Against as well. I have to agree that the nominee is indeed very Commendable but that this draft needs some work before it can truly be something I would be in favor of passing.
 
This isn't the best of writing. I think Mark should be commended, but do it better. Against.
 
Against. Agree entirely with Praetor, Bob, and Rom.

it’s just a boring list. This doesn’t adequately describe Mark and makes him just look like any above average GCR delegate, which is rude to him. In many ways, the lack of description makes it worse than proposals in 2009. Listing positions is also weak because we don’t know what he did in those positions. The proposal doesn’t state if there were any trials during his time as a arbiter, or any coups as guardian. How do we know making Osiris’ court is a good thing? Etc.

This is a time when the SC is retrograde and we need to remind people we want good quality.
 
Against. Others have already stated why, and although I’m very much in support of Halo being commended by the World Assembly the unfortunate reality is that this isn’t the proposal to do it. In my opinion, it needs to be written better, as Halo deserves a proposal that is written well and is of higher quality. He was a very good Delegate of the West Pacific, I’d say outstanding even, but he needs a proposal that does him justice and recognizes things in a way that reads well and this proposal just isn’t it.
 
Hey all, I'm TUMS (The Unified Missourtama States), one of the authors of this proposal, I will answer any questions regarding content, sources, reasons for commendation, or choice of inclusions. I hope you vote for the proposal, I wish all in the North a strong, robust, and plentiful day.
 
Fully agree with the comments the many experienced SCers have pointed out above. As someone who has little idea of the nominee, I feel that the proposal feels like a basket list of events and does not well describe how the nominee deserves the commendation.
