In the interests of "resolving quickly", I should point out that the basic premise of Rule 4 -- that all the official statements of an international body should sound as if they come from an international body -- is not going to go away. The purpose of the R4 discussion thread that I'm currently writing (in the intervals between computer malfunctions) is not to eliminate that requirement, but to explain how it will be interpreted and applied, and to deal with concerns as they come up. So if you are delaying a vote on this proposal in the hope that R4 will simply disappear, you should perhaps reconsider your stance.
As it would be entirely off-topic to divert this thread into yet another R4 discussion, please reserve any comments, queries, etc on that topic and instead return to discussing your view on whether AMOM's contribution to NS is such that a commendation is deserved.
EDIT: While it is sometimes legitimate to discuss the motives of delegates, remember the rules. Avoid flames, avoid flamebait and avoid trolling other groups of players.
