So, what do you guys think?

[Consular]

I'm not opposed to the candidate on principle, but this draft is really lacking content I think.

[Lord Ravenclaw]

"Recognises Europeia's standing as allies of The North Pacific, The South Pacific, Balder and Osiris which has seen the Europeian Republican Navy play pivotal roles in the liberation of The South Pacific in Milograd's Coup (April-May 2013), the Gatesville Coup of Osiris (July 2013) and more recently the DEN attempt at holding The West Pacific (September 2015) following the defection of sitting delegate, United RussoAsia."

Some variant thereof

That's actually perfect! Or as Chandler would say, perfection! I'm going to add it in and list you as a co author.

Why thank you.

Let me go and bring up some suggestions - Europeia is an extremely good target for a commendation, and I do have some notes somewhere.

[Consular]

Europeia has hosted a number of mutli regional diplomatic conferences over the years, so you could include a clause on that. I'm afraid I don't recall the names of them all but I'm sure an official from Euro could inform you.

Didn't they host the Independence Conference thing? Or am I mistaken?

[Benevolent Thomas]

The ERN was very impressive once upon a time. You should dig up their own history of operations. Just don't include ones like "The ERN assisted ORG with holding REGION".

[Topid]

I can indeed recall when ERN were very stealthy and cool.

[Kaboomlandia]

The ERN was very impressive once upon a time. You should dig up their own history of operations. Just don't include ones like "The ERN assisted ORG with holding REGION".

A little list of ERN just last term:
- Helped take over the GGR
- Helped defend TWP (I'm not sure whether to include this one, Cormac prob would have given the region back regardless)
- Helped occupy Japan
- Helped raid Liberty Alliance

A little list of ERN just last term:

- Helped defend TWP (I'm not sure whether to include this one, Cormac prob would have given the region back regardless) Also, the operation spanned only like 2 updates
- Helped occupy Japan
- Helped raid Liberty Alliance

Thank you for proving my point.

[Consular]

The TWP one is already covered by Raven's clause.

[The Silver Sentinel]

- Helped occupy Japan
- Helped raid Liberty Alliance

Both of these are sure to win Euro a commend.

[Misley]

A little list of ERN just last term:
- Helped take over the GGR

Thank you for proving my point.

I can't speak to their other operations, but the Europeian Republican Navy was one of the first militaries to sign on to the GGR operation and tied with NPA for providing the most updaters by a non-leftist military. If you include PRAF in their numbers (PRAF is under ERN's command due to their status of forces agreement), they were the second-largest contributor to the update force behind The Red Fleet. It was not an insignificant contribution to the operation.

You should probably include the Delegate transitions they've regularly assisted with, Kamboomguy. Raids are cool and all, but they don't really help get people Commended.

I do know we helped with the Zemnaya transition over in TNP.

Overall, I'm trying to remain unbiased. I'd love to see Europeia get commended, but self-commendations don't tend to go down all that well.

[Lord Ravenclaw]

After consultation with the Original Author of this proposal, I done a completely new draft, which is currently sitting in TNP's WALL Drafting area and is receiving feedback. Once I think it meets the standards I would expect from the WA, I'll present it. (It still needs a fair bit more work; I am a diplomat not a legislator by trade, and I would like anything I present here, to do both Europeia justice.) The Original Author has accepted an offer to be listed as a co-author in recognition that they did author the original draft, even if I completely ignored it in my rewrite. I may also be listing one or two further co-authors based on the consultation and drafting processes that are on-going.

[Ainocra]

I have actually been tinkering with a draft on this very topic for a while.

It's currently up in the Osiris drafting forum but alas I haven't been able to devote the time to make it good enough to bring here
A link to it if you are interested.

That said Eurpoeia definitely deserves a commendation.

[Omigodtheykilledkenny]

"A large number of elections"? Quite peculiar wording. I would have said "regular, free and fair elections" myself.

Also, Europeia wasn't actually involved in Milograd's coup of TSP, the Gatesville coup of Osiris or the DEN coup of TWP, was it? No? Might consider more precise wording then.

And the Security Council has no official "stance" on regional sovereignty, so far as I am aware.

So, what do you guys think?

I support a commendation for Europeia, but I agree it needs some more content.

[Haydia]

I'm not pursuing this proposal anymore because self commendations look bad.

[Yaklia]

Okay then have someone else do it.

[Sedgistan]

There was no need to post here.
