[PASSED] Repeal "Invasive Species Response Act"

[Bergnovinaia]

Ok... back from vacation, but now my family has an unexpected friend from Poland visiting us for a few days.

Keep comments for improvement coming, and I will submit this in a few days time, again.

Yep, I think it's fine and ready to go.

[Ceni]

When will this be submitted?

[Bergnovinaia]

I just submitted it again for approval. Endorse here!

I will TG all delegate who previously endorsed this proposal, as well as many others. I want this to actually reach queue this time.

[Lord Neo]

I The Honorable Lord Neo has hereby approved the proposal.

[Bergnovinaia]

Only 15 more approvals needed. Crossing my fingers for queue!

Eight now. And fourteen hours left. Have you done a last minute campaign to those who haven't supported it?

Stephanie Orman
Representative, Nomadic Peoples of Damanucus

[Bergnovinaia]

Argh! Two more approvals in 3 hours. Please approve if you haven't already. (I'm going out with friends to dinner, so I'm hoping any last minute TGs I've sent reach people).

This is more gut wrenching than the time UT beat A&M in football with a field goal with 5 seconds to spare.

From what I am aware, it's still in the queue.

[Bergnovinaia]

For a moment it was out of queue, but now it's back!

[Ponderosa]

Finally in the queue. Can't wait to vote for it.

Title edited to reflect current status, and also because I cannot abide topic title that refer to GAR numbers, not actual names. Not all of us have the Passed Resolution list memorized.

[Damanucus]

This post is OOC.

I bet those who do are dangerous people indeed.

But, on topic, it's great to have this finally in queue, and staying there! Why can't I remain patient?

Only 12 more hours or so until a vote!

[Redentro]

I'm not quite sure how we are supposed to enforce legislation forbidding the transfer of bacteria between countries...
I mean, don't people want to do that anyway? And has anyone ever succeeded?

[Abacathea]

Early voting patterns suggest this will be successful.

Our preemptive congratulations to the Author.

[Retired WerePenguins]

I have currently tasked the analysis of the repeal argument to my penguin staff, and I am still waiting to see the consensus of the members of my region, but I like this repeal a lot. I would like to announce that I will buy the author and coauthor a round of drinks at the Stranger's Bar.

Good Luck with the repeal!

Press Release:

From the Tree Canopy Office of Robert Evergreene
August 2, 2013

We the People of The Free States of Evergreene wholeheartedly support this bill. Upon reading the previous passed bill and your current bill we have no choice but to approve. We hope a revised bill is drafted in the future to help keep our ecosystems healthy from those who release dangerous invasive species into our environment, usually after such an animal has grown too big to keep as a pet other times it could be as simple as spores or seeds being transferred from country to country by visitors.

The Country of Evergreene is completely FOR the Repeal of the "Invasive Species Response Act"

Signed,
Robert Evergreene
Founder of The Free States of Evergreene

Matthew said, "I'm pleased to see this repeal has reached the floor. Best of luck to the Bergnovinaian delegation, and hopefully I'll see you all in the Strangers' Bar in a few days for congratulatory drinks."

"I am also pleased to be named as the editor of the repeal - it is my hope that this will increase the profile of those who contribute to the WA drafting process with thoughtful editing and proofreading."

The regulation is meant to be for those that are done intentionally, and without proper research, not accidental ones. There may be some bacterias that are beneficial, because who knows how far the reaches of existence is.

At the behest of my government I have been instructed to cast a vote of NAY for this repeal. While being well intentioned and thought out, the resolution itself passed by a wide margin, and may not do so a second time. As such we are not willing to risk, not having any legislation on the matter, as opposed to mediocre legislation.

Warmest regards,

[Bergnovinaia]

We are terribly saddened that the ambassador would rather have a faulty piece of legislation on the books than no legislation at all. We challenge the ambassador to both read the repeal thoroughly and understand that the repeal is supported by the authors of the target resolution.

Mediocrity is not an acceptable standard.
