Commend Vancouvia
Category: Commendation | Target: Vancouvia
Proposed by: Titanne | Onsite Topic

The World Assembly,

Recognizing that Vancouvia's founding and subsequent leadership (which continues to this day) of The Western Isles over 5 years ago cannot go ignored, and that over The Western Isles time in existence, the region peaked at over 830 nations residing within it due to the recruitment and appeals that Vancouvia made for it, a notable feat even for the time.

Highlighting that the nominee has served diligently as the World Assembly Delegate for this region since its inception, playing a significant role in the voting process on proposals, with nearly 180 endorsements at the nation's peak, an oversized and notable number for a region not focused on World Assembly affairs, a total which ended up shaping the vote counts in both the Security Council and The General Assembly, showing the great commitment of Vancouvia to this legislative body, and to their region as well,

More recently, under Vancouvia's leadership, The Western Isles continue to punch above their weight in terms of diplomacy, having secured relationships with significantly larger regions such as The Pacific, 10000 Islands, and Europe, relationships which allowed the region to continue to attract attention. Additionally, the region boasts a status in the Top 25 highest regions for World Assembly Endorsements, and in the Top 30 for influence, again, a significant feat for a region with a smaller population than many of the others pulling in at similar positions on these rankings.

Lauding the active contributions of Vancouvia to the community in The Western Isles, and their commitment to the region, having been an active community member for over 5 years and been a vital part of the cultural initiatives taking place in the region, altogether making it a more enjoyable place for others to be,

Additionally recognizing the effective governing system created by the nominee in The Western Isles, featuring a democratically elected government, and a large and prolific Constitution maintained by Vancouvia, which can serve as an inspiration for other nations and regions seeking to create a firm legal basis for themselves. Additionally noting the vastly fleshed out and detailed mandates, information and legislation created for the nation of Vancouvia itself made available for viewing by foreign nations, again serving as inspiration for their own legal bases,

Making note of the upwards of one thousand nations who have made their home in The Western Isles at some point in time, and the stable and protected environment created by the nominee as the Founder and Delegate of the region that is provided to nations who visit the region at any point over the past five years during which the nominee has run the government and guided the region,

Applauding the contributions of Vancouvia to the World Assembly, having authored five resolutions, including three repeals of flawed previous legislation, all of which indicate their commitment to the body, namely:
  • the repeal of the Sexual Health and Education Act, a repeal which raised the point that the original resolution did not address or acknowledge the diversity of species and other factors present in the member states of the World Assembly and laid out many regulations arbitrarily set around the human race, ultimately setting up an inequitable program useless to a large portion of the members of the Assembly. The repeal also addressed the flawed logic blocking guardians from exempting their children from the program and allowing a blanket exemption for private schools, making it a truly necessary repeal,

  • the repeal of the Renewable Research Commitment Resolution, a resolution which attempted to promote clean energy but utilized flat taxes, poorly thought out and arbitrary mandates, and flawed logic to attempt this goal, a repeal that was similarly necessary and later served as inspiration for the nominee's still-standing unique resolution,
All these resolutions, while well intentioned, did not achieve their goals. Add these to Vancouvia’s still-standing unique resolution (which served as a form of replacement for the Renewable Research Commitment Resolution, which was repealed by the nominee as noted previously),
  • the Promotion of Clean Energy Act, which served as a replacement to the Renewable Research Commitment Resolution, and succeeded in promoting and encouraging the use of clean and renewable energy,
and one is forced to acknowledge the impact these contributions have had on the World Assembly.

Therefore, noting each of the aforementioned accomplishments, the World Assembly hereby commends Vancouvia.

This is just composed of fluff in those introductory clauses and a very few WA things.

I count Titanne as a friend, but this is just not commnend-worthy. Against.
 
For, Vancouvia's work in TWI is immense, tho I'm annoyed the GA contributions were included.
 
Based on the thoughts of the GA regulars in the forum thread, Vancouvia probably isn't the most commendable nominee.

(Non-wa against)
 
Against. This is my major problem:
the repeal of [resolution=GA#303]the Debris Prevention Resolution[/resolution], a resolution which attempted to reduce debris in orbit, but failed to provide a definition for debris, allowing for countless exploitations of the law, to take place. This along with the resolution's failure to address already-existing debris made the repeal another necessary one, which the nominee performed admirably.
First off, it's called "Debris Prevention", not "the Debris Prevention Resolution". Second, that repeal was bad. We shouldn't be commending people for passing bad resolutions. This was brought up in the drafting thread, which the author chose to ignore.
 
Just curious, what exactly did they "get up to"?
Ghost may be referring to their habit of approving every proposal that was submitted—it irked a number of individuals as they would approve proposals regardless of legality, content, etc.

It's possible that there is something else I am missing.

They were a leading participant in an older variation of the resistance to the “corrupt” “WA elite” which was part of why they approved every single proposal. CCD does that so much better now and Vancouvia is so irrelevant now that many forgot all about that, but at one time their region rivaled small GCRs in endorsements and they were the face (even with Bitely around) of that nonsense.

Ah, got it. Thanks for the response
