This delegation votes Nay on the proposed Resolution no. 7. We do not think that elections should be so limited: it would set a dangerous precedent that member nations were unable to exercise direct influence upon the executive, and would also strike against our founding democratic principles.

Delegate Alexander Helghan on behalf of the Valaran Empire abstains from casting a vote over this resolution. While he believes much of it is sound, he also agrees that more positions should be elected. A modified form with greater elections would be instantly approved.

The Carlossian Federal Republic votes AYE on this resolution despite its seemingly undemocratic nature. We do this because we believe that appointing members will ensure that able nations take the role and not nations which have little experience in that sector of government.

The vote of council at current:

1 AYE
3 NAYS
1 ABSTENTION

General Reasoning For Quorum: Members believe that the Executive Council should be more directly elected and effected by democracy. A resolution supporting those sentiments would be widely supported.

"We should clarify, that the Interior Minister would help out with the proceedings of the IFA Council and act as the de-facto President of the Council. Responsibility in heading and managing the council's affairs would be shared with the Executive President. Of course, any IFA member is allowed to introduce resolutions, provided there is not resolution that is being debated at the time of introduction."

FURTHER COMMENTS: If there are no other votes to be had in the 7 hours, then the AYES will have it and the Resolution 7-1 placed into official IFA edict.
