It is also noteworthy that it has never gone through with it on all three occasions. Latent IFC influence (and it is latent, since it usually has been suggested only at points of crisis or just after) doesn't seem to have triumphed, if you will.

No one said* it was unavailable. But somewhat viable isn't a ringing endorsement, and nor does it really convince me to agree. (I can't speak for anyone else so if they want to add their opinion feel free)

Finally, how exactly would ICON cut ties?

A: That being said, it was close and well threatened, and has all reached close attempts, and have mostly been given up.

B: While I would give endorsement, I wouldn't have a problem if denied, not do I strongly support it due to me saying it is somewhat viable.

C: More simply, we can firstly stop with such things as IFC merger requests for the time being.

Not threatened so much as an offer, and a reluctant one at that.

No problem there.

Nor is there a problem here from me, mainly as there are no merger requests :p

Whoa, guys, we've invested BILLIONS in GE&T companies such as VMK, BoY, and TCD. What the hell are we supposed to do with those? Are they retconned? Or are they still there?

And hey, Zunk, Library (mind if I call you that?), Furry, and Chilo, are we putting that proposal up where we implement all of our decisions?

And is the region back?

We should collaborate. And remember, the decisions made are in the region.

Just include it in the proposal you guys are making.

Also, while I agree that ICoN must keep itself independent, cutting ties with the IFc is not the way. You're going to lose your EP, SoS and Speaker.

Ok, I'm here.

On another note, I'm offering a partial merge between I.C.O.N. and the smaller UPA.

Basically both alliances will have separate memberships, separate laws, but both will collaborate in terms of our projects (eg. providing aid to third-world nations)

Actually, someone should send a TG informing old members that ICoN is back up and see if any of them are interested.

Some of the stuff we decided on while we were... out, was to abolish the position of Executive President and replace it with a high council (Furry, Chilo, Zunk, EN, Libraria, Der Fabmeister, and I) with basically the same function, headed by EN, of course. EN, your thoughts?
