List of Resolutions

Chancellor of the Assembly: Righteous Swords

How the Assembly Works
The Assembly is a democratic union whose various member nations propose resolutions that are simply recommendations of particular courses of action, or that are official opinions on matters, or that commend or condemn particular actions. The Assembly is free to take any sort of action its members lead it to.
The Chancellor is the non-elected leader of the Assembly. The role of the Chancellor is to moderate discussions and ensure that order is kept. The Chancellor also have the ability to veto against a resolution, but they can only veto when an Assembly regulation is broken.
Resolutions are voted on until 3 days have passed since their proposal (termed conclusion). Most actions of the Assembly require 50% plus one of the voting members (members who don't abstain and who specifically say YEA or NAY) to vote for it. Ejecting a member requires a two-thirds majority, or roughly 66% of votes, to pass.

Assembly Regulations

1. Nobody may manipulate a nation into voting for or against a resolution, proposing a resolution, or resigning from the Assembly.
2. Nobody who is under consideration of being removed from the Assembly may vote on their own removal.
3. Nobody may 'clog the court': submit too many proposals or submit the same one over and over again until it passes.
4. Filibuster, extending lengthy debates to prevent a proposal from going to vote, is strictly prohibited. The Chancellor is the final judge on filibustering, but may only exercise this power after at least twenty posts of debate.

To submit a proposal, please use this template.

PREAMBLE

The Allied Assembly agrees:

TEXT[/box]

The Preamble should be written as a set of lines that look like this (example):
[blockquote]INQUIRING as to how to write a resolution,
MAKING AN EXAMPLE so that people may know how to do so,
WISHING that there be plenty of resolutions in the Assembly,[/blockquote]

The Text should be organized into Articles, which are titled and list various related Sections, which are not titled and which contain the actual operations. A Section should be one line.

Here is an example resolution:

EXAMPLE
HOPING to explain how resolutions work,
NOTING that this is the official example,

The Allied Assembly agrees:

Article 1: Articles

1. Articles should be titled and contain clauses.
2. Articles' clauses should be called Sections.
3. The Sections in an Article should be related somehow (example: these sections are all about articles)

INTERNATIONAL SPACE PROGRAM
Since the Birth of Man, we have strived to reach the stars. We must now work together and Reach to the Stars, within a single, public Program. For the good of Mankind.

The Allied Assembly agrees:

• To the creation of the International Space Program.
• That rockets will be launched on a Semi-Regular Basis
• That all gathered data that is not of importance of national or international security will be released to the Public
• That the requisite personnel will be provided to the ISP by member nations

The only functional changes are that national security issues (i.e. discovering a spy satellite) don't have to be released to the public, and that not just scientists, but all personnel, will be provided by member nations.
(I also added a title, removed 'PREAMBLE' [it's a header] and cleaned up grammar a bit.)

Is this OK?
