General Assembly Q&A

[Macwick]

Will Vancouvia’s new proposal on indigenous peoples be unlocked in 14 hours when his previous proposal is repealed?

(To me it seems a waste of time to lock a proposal and then a day or so later unlock it. I can understand that it should not be allowed to be submitted but I don’t understand why it couldn’t continue to be discussed, as the other three or four proposals are.)

[Mousebumples]

It was moved to the WA Archives. Given that it has the same name as the proposal that passed last week and is currently being repealed, my guess is that the new drafting thread was accidentally moved to the Archives versus the old thread about the passed legislation. I think it's been rectified.

EDIT: The thread has been locked at the author's request.

A quick scan shows that it's yours. RoIP only lasted six days. Missing Minors Act lasted eight.

I see that Vancouvia’s new proposal on indigenous peoples has been submitted. Please can you unlock the discussion thread?

Yeah, it's a bit shifty for an author to have his draft thread locked and then quietly submit it, barring any productive discussion about it.

Interesting. He indicated that he didn't have any intentions to submit. So, yeah, I'll go unlock it now.

So, how would one get endorsements quickly?

So, how would one get endorsements quickly?

The best way to do this is to endorse other people and send them a telegram introducing yourselves. Also, this is a Gameplay topic, not GA.

I dearly hope you are not planning to submit that resolution of yours? It is far from ready.

No, I am not planning to submit it in it's current state as far to few people have commented on it and told me how it could be improved (doubtless it needs to be). Never the less, it would be advisable that I prepare myself for submitting it in the future when it is fully developed and improved. Planning ahead is always a good idea, especially on something like this. Now, would you please tell me what is wrong with it, preferably on the thread the proposal is on itself.

Move into a Feeder region: they have 100s of nations with endorsements and simply by endorsing other nations, you will very quickly get two back.

Post a draft.

When should I expect a modly opinion?

It's been ten days. How much longer should I wait?

Is there a specific area you think may be illigal or do you just want a look over the entire thing? If you have a specific area that may or may not be illegal, the mods might be faster to act than just wanting a blanket check... Atleast, that's what I have seen...

[Christian Democrats]

I'm not asking for a blanket check. All I'm asking is one simple question. Two interpretations of RAA, which is an ambiguous resolution, have been proposed. Is my interpretation valid? In other words, may I submit my repeal proposal on the interpretation that RAA requires accreditation boards to be blind to the nations where applicants received their educations?

(For the record, the revisionist interpretation of RAA is that accreditation boards can discriminate based on nationality as long as they're giving each applicant and each university an individual assessment.)

I've given one mod's opinion in the thread.

Any word on the multitude of GHRs against the second RoIP proposal?

Addressed.

[Arrlia]

I screwed up the Resolution number for the GA resolution my proposal intends to repeal; is there a way for a moderator (or myself) to either edit the proposal or delete it to rewrite it?

If it's already been submitted, we can't change what it says. You can, however, file a GHR to have it removed from the submission queue.

So, what category would the Peaceful Nuclear Explosions Act be? Currently I have it as "environmental; all business.

[Thepicheeses]

So I want to put in a proposal that makes it so that all nations in a region need the same currency. I am a "noob" to WA proposals (and WA in general) so if someone could help me write it or if it is stupid, tell me. If someone decides to make it themselves and see if I like it, I would prefer to have something similar to the following line inside:

Realizing that nations should be able to trade with fellow regional neighbors without complicated calculations.

[Atomic Utopia]

I can answer you right here, it will be illegal. You cannot regulate things region-side, like forcing people to have the same currency. So no, you cannot write such a proposal.

Naturally, you could have your region form a legislative assembly and use your regional legislature to pass such laws. But the previous commentator is correct — in the World Assembly, that would be illegal for mandating a change to national fields.
