OOC: I think that breaks one of the resolutions on account of it being an inhumane death... You could hang them and then burn the bodies instead?

Thanks to her excellent auditory organs Ikiti had no trouble hearing the human female's words, even over the sound of her heartbeat - also not a feat for Tikrr ears - but did not really like what she heard. Jet-assisted take off anything sounded like something that would be extremely loud and likely to give Ikiti a headache. And since the AI that did the concept translations for the Tikrr delegation knew that when the Tikrr were in pain, they were even more likely than usual to react to surprising things in a feral manner, it adviced Ikiti to move nearer and suggest a less noisy option to the human.

So while it was impossible for the large carnivore to move inconspiciously, Ikiti made a spirited attempt as she shuffled close enough Zakalwe to be able to say - or, rather, have her universal translator say - in a low voice:

"Would you let us put an antigravity harness on you instead? Jet engines are too loud."

OOC: GA #375, clauses 3 and 8.

Creative Compliance # 375 “Crime and Punishment”

28-V-217

Following new legislation, transfers punishment of theft of sums of more than 15 pence but less than ½ dragon subject to a fine of not less than 1 gold dragon from execution. Theft of less than 15 pence shall be punished by a a fine of not less than ½ gold dragon. Theft of greater than ½ gold dragon shall be a felony and subject to execution.

Following new legislation hanging and beheading by axe or sword are considered to be execution methods of choice.

Following new legislation placing the corpse of the executed in a gibbet or the head of a beheaded person on a spike in a public area is considered respectful handling of the corpse of the executed, themselves having forfeited their rights to burial in holy ground by the commission of their crimes.

Following new legislation, the King or the King's hand or any Warden of the Provinces may at their discretion commute any death sentence to exile to the Northern Wall for the remainder of the life of the Condemned, wherein they shall take the black and forfeit all rights and titles and inheritances, pledge themselves to celibacy and defend the realm from the wildings of the far north.

Following new legislation burning at the stake is not considered to be cruel or unusual punishment, nor is burning considered to be mutilation of the body of the executed as cremation is a common disposal method for corpses.

"A mandate can have multiple parts. I intended the mandate to be a broad, multifaceted one, not that each part is its own mandate."

Every proposal must affect member states in some fashion. A committee may be the primary agent of that effect, but forming it may not be the proposal's only action. Requiring member states to interact with the committee somehow is sufficient, provided the interaction creates a measurable burden - one more strenuous than simply filing paperwork.

OOC: Nope.

Requiring member states to interact with the committee somehow is sufficient, provided the interaction creates a measurable burden - one more strenuous than simply filing paperwork.

The proposal affects member states insofar as it requires active liaisons with both committees and other surrounding nations. It does more than merely form a committee. Interaction with the committee is more than simply filing paperwork, as they have to coordinate with both the committee and other states. Further, they can liaise to actually build their space program, which is more strenuous than filing paperwork.

My draft comports with the text of the Committee-Only rule.

Member states must liaise with IASA, the IMO, and parallel national authorities governing airspace in foreign territory so as to coordinate flight plans to avoid conflict, collision, or other unintended risk to other spacecraft. Where reasonably practical, member states will so liaise for all nonmilitary spacecraft launched from their suborbital space which might cross into either international or foreign national airspace or territory;

does look to me like enough required activity to make it okay under the Committee rule... but not as 'Educational'. SP, maybe this proposal is one to set aside until a certain suggested change to the Categories available has been made?
