This does not encompass an International Currency. It does not even sort of mention one. It's just the name that makes it sound like it makes one, and you should have read the whole thing before whipping out this complaint.

Then why did you submit it? You have received nothing but negative feedback on it, and you believe it will even achieve quorum, let alone pass?

OOC: I got positive feedback, and I did not expect the competition to be so rough. And with an attitude like that, you might as well stop submitting things on the forum.

After being told numerous time and time again that this draft was terrible, you proceeded to submit it anyway. Has it occurred to you that only the 'good drafts' make it, and it takes time for them to get there? Hell, the drafting process for 'Ban on Leaded Fuel' took over a month!

Because I believe in taking risks. After all, I recall you said it was a good idea. I might have jumped the gun, because I did not at the time (10 minutes ago, about) realize that more drafting and improvement was needed. But most people tell me it's a bad idea in general, and that it cannot be fixed and that I should have my brain removed for my idiocy. Or something like that.

When did I say this was a "good idea"? If I did, I redact that statement.

Do you believe that it needs improvement, or that it is just a bad idea all around? Just Wondering.

Not to be rude, but I think this draft needs to be abandoned. I admire your effort in attempting to draft a resolution, although it's customary around here that one participate in assorted debates prior to pursuing authorship. 'Currency reform/regulation/law' doesn't seem to be a flexible division of WA concern.

"What... why... submitted?" The ambassador shakes her head and sighs, "I could probably talk at great length, and with minimal knowledge of what has been discussed before my arrival, about how terrible this is, but I won't. Instead I will simply say that without serious revision, and a proper focus, the nation of Ninja Kittens will never approve or endorse this; nor will we ever have to, as one does not need to make use of a creative solutions department to see the loopholes which will allow governments to lightly step around this piece of ill-written tra-... this piece of potential legislation."

You didnt correct the grammar mistakes. (I think it should be writen this way)
2- All nations must release what currencies are which currencies are not accepted in their nations

2- All nations must release which currencies are and which are not accepted in their nations.

Furthermore i hope this prematurly proposed idea doesnt get to quorum. It needs more improvement from my point of view.
