Repeal cooperation in science act
Category: Repeal
Resolution: GA#92
Lauds the goals set forth in the cooperation of science act.
Convinced that this act does not do enough to further the cause of scientific knowledge in this assembly
Concerned that in the following section2) To coordinate scientific studies and research projects of international scope, which scientists from many WA nations may choose to participate in under the auspices of the WASP and in concert with their nations of origin or residence, such projects to be funded directly by grants from the governments, public research institutions, privately owned foundations, corporations, or other concerned entities, and donations from concerned individuals, at the discretion of these individuals and organizations;
3) To provide a public forum for free and unhindered debate on scientific research and issues which scientists from all member nations may participate in.
The WASP is tasked with a goal but given no clear framework or direction on how to accomplish that goal.
Believes that the WASP would better serve the citizens of this assembly with a broader mandate consisting
of funding provided by the WA general fund for the purpose of coordinated scientific research unbiased by any one member Nation.
Knowing we can collectively provide a better future for all people
Hereby repeals GA#92 Cooperation in science act

Concerned: that a funding entity could potentially halt funding of research in order to control or exploit the advancements for their own ends.
Asserts: That funding of this act under the auspices of the WA general fund would serve to put it beyond such political divides, and would serve to further the research done as well as making it more openly available to the entire assembly.

Concerned that in section two WASP is tasked with a goal of coordinating scientific studies and research projects of international scope but given no clear framework or direction on how to accomplish that goal.
Troubled that because WASP is voluntarily funded; a funding entity could potentially halt funding of research in order to control or exploit the advancements for their own ends.
Dismayed That WASP cannot live up to its mandate of providing a public forum for free and unhindered debate on scientific research and issues as outlined in section three due to this lack of oversight in its initial mandate.
Believes that the WASP would better serve the citizens of this assembly with a broader mandate
Asserts That funding of this act under the auspices of the WA general fund would serve to put WASP beyond such political divides, and believing that funding provided by the WAGF would be both unbiased by any one member nation; as well as serving better to further the research done while simultaneously achieving the goal of making it more openly available to the entire assembly.

What is this vast collection, a huge storing house of research data? Of actual scientific discoveries? How do you 'backup' the discovery of a major dinosaur fossil? Why does the WA need an archive recording that acid + base = salt + water? Furthermore, you have a fairly inflexible idea of what science actually is. Science is about experimentation: engaging in 'periodic review' of all known scientific knowledge is still not going to be of very much value.
"As written the replacement simply isn't any sort of obvious improvement and is so terminally vague as to render WASP either functionally useless, or so utterly gargantuan in its scope it would be of no value."

Might this not actually discourage research into some fields where the work would be expensive, because nations might just hope that somebody else will do it -- and the results then get passed on by WASP -- instead of doing it themselves?

Hrarroom!
It would be any research that a member nation wishes to engage in that is legal under WA law, so if the nation in question wished the assistance of WASP with such research they could
request it and WASP would help them with it, But only if they requested such assistance. As for discouraging it I don't see that expense would be a factor as section 3 directs the GAO to provide WASP with all needed resources.
