It's looks like an illegal proposal to me. It attempts to change the game.

OOC: See... now, this might be a good idea. But not for a GA resolution. You should create a thread in the Security Council maybe, not PROPOSING such a thing... but beginning a discussion on whether or not it is in fact a good idea, and how it would be carried out.

What you're talking about is creating a whole other branch of proposals. Lately, this HAS been happening... but you've broached this idea in the wrong place, and in the wrong format.

There's been a lot of things like this lately... I think the development of the Security Council has caused some confusion as to how the game actually functions, and how limited we are in changing these functions.

Goodwill.. hence means Goodwill, this does not need a Legislation at all.
If I want to send forth a Goodwill Ambassador from my nation to the rest of world, therefore I will.
However if the W.A can and have the right to nominate a nation to be a W.A Goodwill Ambassador, whomever is nominated can be approved by the nations within the W.A, without having a Legislation or watsoever.

No, mortals......please try again. Do not pass Go, do not collect $200.

[Morlago]

I dont see the point of the age limit. As long as the nation has enough influence in both the WA and its region, I don't see a problem of nominating that nation.

[Malikov]

what about puppet nations. That is, nations controlled by other, more prominent, nations. Why should they be excluded because they are new, when the person controlling them could be very experienced?

[Osdon]

Good idea

[Goobergunchia]

We reserve a Point of Order against this proposal as a violation of WA Mechanics. A resolution in the General Assembly can not create a new type of resolution under the standing rules.
