Committee Qualifications
Category: Political Stability | Strength: Mild
Proposed by: Bisofeyri World Assembly Mission | Onsite Topic​
The World Assembly,

Understanding the need for WA committees to be staffed by individuals who are qualified for their duties and willing to put in the effort, and

Believing that the best practice to ensure proper staffing of WA committees is via a singular, all-encompassing resolution which establishes practices and standards for those staffing measures, hereby enacts as follows, notwithstanding previously enacted, standing resolutions:

  1. All committees shall be staffed by incorruptable individuals who are competent and qualified to perform the duties required of their committees (these staff members will hereafter be referred to as "gnomes").
  2. Gnomes shall be paid commensurate with experience. Their salaries shall be competitive but shall not pose an undue financial burden to the World Assembly.
  3. No future resolution may create additional qualifications or otherwise dictate who may or may not serve as a gnome. This shall not be construed as preventing the repeal of this resolution.
  4. No individual or entity under WA jurisdiction may attempt to harm a gnome or otherwise impair or hinder any work it performs on behalf of its committee of employment.

Note: Only votes from TNP WA nations, NPA personnel, and those on NPA deployments will be counted. If you do not meet these requirements, please add (non-WA) or something of that effect to your vote. If you are on an NPA deployment without being formally registered as an NPA member, name your deployed nation in your vote.
Voting Instructions:
  • Vote For if you want the Delegate to vote For the resolution.
  • Vote Against if you want the Delegate to vote Against the resolution.
  • Vote Abstain if you want the Delegate to abstain from voting on this resolution.
  • Vote Present if you are personally abstaining from this vote.
Detailed opinions with your vote are appreciated and encouraged!

Information For Voters

Vote AGAINST “Committee Qualifications”.

Overview
This proposal seeks to legislate on the makeup of committees, something recently allowed in the General Assembly ruleset. The proposal begins by enforcing the staffing of committees by incorruptible “gnomes”. It stipends these gnomes be paid an amount proportional to their experience level. It then mandates no further resolutions legislate on this topic, essentially blocking further committee regulations. The proposal ends by stating that no individual shall harm any gnomes or hinder their ability to work.

Recommendation
Whilst most of the proposal text does indeed contain worthwhile provisions, we take concern with the third clause of the proposal, especially considering the extent of the proposal’s ambitions. This clause blocks further legislation regarding committee staffing, which becomes a problem, as this proposal stops a step short of encoding rights for committee-members of the World Assembly (such as the requirement of a fair wage for all). Thus, since the proposal does not take advantage of the avenue of committee staffing legislation, and effectively cuts off the line behind it, we are forced to oppose this attempt.

Therefore, the Ministry of World Assembly Affairs recommends a vote AGAINST “Committee Qualifications”.
