(OOC: Yes, ‘firm’ here is equivalent to ‘business’.)
Hello! I’m a GAer and NS Roleplayer from the United Kingdom.
My pronouns are he/him.
Any posts that I make as GenSec will be clearly marked as such and OOC. Conversely, my IC ambassador in the General Assembly is Ambassador Fortier. I’m always happy to discuss ideas about proposals, particularly if grammar or wording are in issue. I am also Executive Deputy Minister for the WA Ministry of TNP.
Kenmoria is an illiberal yet democratic nation pursuing the goals of communism in a semi-effective fashion. It has a very broad diplomatic presence despite being economically developing, mainly to seek help in recovering from the effect of a recent civil war. Read the factbook here for more information; perhaps, I will eventually finish it.

EDIT: And if yes, then why no waiver for agreements between nations?


OOC: The defined terms make clear that this proposal applies to contracts in which at least one of the parties is a private actor (i.e. not part of a government). It's not explicit, of course, but I don't see how any of this could reasonably be held to apply to a treaty between countries.

OOC: *points to the hivemind of PPU* :P (That account currently has my gameside WA status, and I wanted to be sure before voting against, that I'm voting so for the right IC reasons.)

Apologies for absences, non-COVID health issues leave me with very little energy at times.
