Federation of DisjunctionAug 24 2006, 02:59 PM Well, I just checked the voting and it looks like it is a moot point for us anyway since there are many more votes in favor. Could we connect with some of the nations on the UN forum to discuss a follow up resoution? [/quote]
A "follow-up" resolution could run into problems with the "no amendments" & "house of cards" rules: I'd suggest going for repeal & replace instead, although I admit that getting that past the twits who only look at resolutions' titles might be rather difficult.
For anybody here who doesn't already know, I'm active in the UN forum as -- mainly -- 'St Edmundan Antarctic' which is my current UN member-nation: I've been arguing against this proposal there, because it's so badly written and also because of its potential for blocking better ones on the subject, but I've also been arguing against some of the 'Ozone Layer problem? There's no Ozone Layer problem!' faction... Ironically, this is a subject that I started drafting a proposal about myself (drawing quite closely on the RL 'Montreal Protocol') a few months ago, but I set that project aside when I hit a block -- partly due to the length limits -- and then got distracted by other topics...
