[DEFEATED] Commend Sciongrad

[Mousebumples]

Commend Sciongrad

Category: Commendation | Nominee: Sciongrad | Proposed by: Ramaeus

The Security Council,

Noting that the government of Sciongrad also controls the nation Connopolis,

Recognizing that Sciongrad (oft through the nation of Connopolis) has authored 18 resolutions and co-authored several more, making them one of the most prolific authors in the history of the WA,

Further recognizing Sciongrad's repeal of well-meaning but poorly-executed resolutions, which often have the effect of making the WA's bureaucracy a more manageable organization,

Expounding on some of Sciongrad's work in the WA:

• SC#77 & SC#97, Condemn Milograd, which condemned one of the most infamous dictatorial regimes in the modern world,
• GAR#161, Medical Standards in Prisons, which mandated that member nations elevate the standard of medical care within their prisons,
• GAR#242, Biological Warfare Convention, which mandated that member nations do all in their power to prevent the distribution of biological weapons,
• GAR#255, Rights of Neutral States, which sought to properly define the rights of states uninvolved in either a single conflict, or the world at large,

Emphasizing the importance of GAR#242, and its role in closing a massive void in WA legislation, a void which had only been meekly filled by previous legislation,

Noting the experience and knowledge of the Scionite ambassador to the WA, Natalia Santos, and the honorable ambassador's willingness to apply their knowledge to assist authors in drafting and refining their proposals,

Encouraged by Sciongrad's compilation of a reference guide of the various bureaucratic organizations within the GA, thereby disseminating this information to a wider audience,

Believing the resolutions stated above serve as sufficient examples of both manifold authorship and Sciongrad's dedication to the ideals of both councils of the WA,

Respecting Sciongrad's contributions to the International Democratic Union, serving as delegate for three terms, wherein, through their capacity as delegate, they managed to reinvigorate regional activity and encourage WA authorship,

Convinced that Sciongrad's prolific authorship, mentorship of other nations, and reinvigoration of an historically relevant region make Sciongrad worthy of recognition from this august council,

Hereby Commends Sciongrad.

Further recognizing Sciongrad's repeal of well-meaning but poorly-executed resolutions, which often have the effect of making the WA's bureaucracy a more manageable organization; these repeals include, but are not limited to:

• GAR#191, Repeal “Animal Cruelty Act”, which repealed a resolution that contained a series of loopholes, including one permitting human sacrifice,
• GAR#211, Repeal “On Expiration Dates”, which repealed a resolution that permitted those involved in the dissemination of products to deceive consumers about when products expire,
• GAR#284, Repeal “Ethics in International Trade”, which repealed a resolution that created a superfluous and unwieldy bureaucracy,

Expounding on some of Sciongrad's other work in the WA:

• SC#77 & SC#97, Condemn Milograd, which condemned one of the most infamous dictatorial regimes in the modern world,
• GAR#161, Medical Standards in Prisons, which mandated that member nations elevate the standard of medical care within prisons,

The Security Council,

Recognizing the distinguished and manifold authorship of the delegation of Sciongrad,

Applauding Sciongrad's dedication to making the WA bureaucracy a more manageable organization by repealing several poorly written and poorly executed resolutions, including:

• GAR#191, Repeal “Animal Cruelty Act”, which repealed a resolution that contained a series of loopholes, including one permitting human sacrifice,
• GAR#211, Repeal “On Expiration Dates”, which repealed a resolution that permitted “manufacturers, distributors, and retailers to deceive consumers as to when the product is to expire”,
• GAR#284, Repeal “Ethic in International Trade”, which repealed a resolution that created a superfluous and unwieldy bureaucracy,

Appreciating Sciongrad's commitment to peace on the international level by authoring the following resolutions:

• GAR#242, Biological Warfare Convention, which mandated that member nations do all in their power to prevent “the production, sale, or transfer of biological agents”,
• GAR#255, Rights of Neutral States, which sought to properly define the rights of states uninvolved in either a singular conflict, or the world at large,

Believing the resolutions stated above serve as sufficient examples of both manifold authorship and Sciongrad's dedication to the ideals of both councils of the WA,

Noting the experience and knowledge of the Scionite ambassador to the WA, Natalia Santos, and the honorable ambassadors willingness to apply their knowledge to assist authors in the drafting and refining of their proposals,

Encouraged by Sciongrad's compilation of a reference guide of the various bureaucratic organizations within the GA, thereby disseminating this information to a wider audience,

Respecting Sciongrad's contributions to the International Democratic Union, serving as delegate for three terms, vice delegate for one term, and through their current capacity as minister of immigration,

Affirming that Sciongrad's authorship, assistance to fellow nations, and contributions to their home region make Sciongrad a worthwhile candidate for recognition from this council,

Hereby Commends Sciongrad.

[The Leningrad Union]

I would definitely support this.

[Mousebumples]

I think the non-resolution aspects need a bit more "beef," so to speak since they're short on substance and seem like fluff. I'll admit that I'm not super familiar with what Scion has done in those areas, though, so you may want to consider contacting Sanctaria (current IDU WAD) and Bears Armed (previously served multiple terms as IDU's WAD) for more information.

Additionally, Scion has had ... multiple personalities, so to speak, around here, and I believe there is SC precedent for combining such WA-related efforts under one commendation. Connopolis and Scion Lop On come to mind, and I may have even forgotten one or two. There may be resolutions passed by those nations that are worth highlighting over some of the ones you've presently selected.

Good luck!

I'll be sure to investigate everything you've said thoroughly. Thanks for the tips.

Nothing but GA authorship? Boring.

More things will be added.

[Chester Pearson]

Meh....

I like Scion, but this seems a little generic if you ask me.

True. I refer you to my previous post:

[Darwinish Brentsylvania]

I'm in support of this commendation.

[Ramaeus]

Second draft is up, thoughts?
(Yes, I know authorship is by far the largest part of the commendation, but the 17 authorships do make a case of their own, no?)

[Venico]

Seems like a solid dude/dudette.

[Milograd]

I've had a fair amount of experience with Scion, and I'd support this.

Sciongrad is a proud -grad, after all, and a pretty prolific author too.

[Yelda]

I'd vote for it.

[Mousebumples]

From a purely visual/appealing to the voters perspective, I would think that leading with the names of the given resolutions (and then linking to the text of the passed resolution) might be more attractive than going "GA#X, SC#Y." I love numbers as much as the next person, but you're more likely to win over fluffies with happy sounding text rather than with numbers, I'd think.

[Benevolent Thomas]

This would be the same lovely chap that Co-Authored Repeal Commend 10000 Islands as Connopolis. Needless to say, I am more than willing to stack against if this were to come to vote.

[Improving Wordiness]

I would vote against. Not based on the co-authoring of a repeal of Commend 10XK but on the deceitful way the repeal was written. It took events that were proven to be legitimate defences and twisted the truth in order to try to achieve a petty outcome.
Certainly not a nation I will help put a commend on.

Yeah, I probably should have mentioned that bit. Its not that he co-authored a repeal of 10KI's commend, its that he knowingly deceived the Security Council in *trying to meet his ends.

Is that all? I was expecting something substantive, not trite.

honorable ambassador's - needs an apostrophe here. Also, I think "poorly executed" in the 2nd clause needs to be hyphenated, but I could be wrong.

Fixed. Thanks.

[The Liberal States of Russia]

This is great! Sciongrad really deserves to be commended! He's a very active member of the community. I'd definitely support this!

[Ascovis]

This is great! Sciongrad really deserves to be commended! He's a very active member of the community. I'd definitely support this!

But, that alone doesn't constitute a commendation, hmm?

Depends on what you consider Commendation worthy.

[Ramaeus]

Submitted.

[Ramaeus]

I have requested that this be pulled. There is a mistake that is bothering me.
