If crossing means crossing roads, like pedestrian crossing, then DEFINITELY a local issue, not international. Driving sounds also like a national issue with very few (if any) international reasons.


Oh.. Okay!
Btw, Maybe add repealing GA #1 "The World Assembly" could be in Heroic lol

It is technically impossible. Even manipulating the URL will not allow submission of a repeal. There would be no point listing something that literally cannot be done as an aspiration.

That said, the OP is CTE for >1 year and appears to have only existed for 1 day before being abandoned. No idea why this thread is still pinned.

The puppet belonged to UM, and originally this thread was likely somewhat useful, now it's basically Q&A #2.

I don’t think that there is. If you do make one, make sure to steer clear of micromanagement, which sports regulations could easily fall into.

Let's find out:

search.php?keywords=lease&t=30&sf=msgonly

"renter", "renters", "rents", "rentier", "rentiers", "landlord", and "landlords" all have zero hits. So that makes that a bit easier.

I would put it under Cultural Heritage, emphasising the importance of sports in nations’ histories and shared relations. However, I could see it going in a few others.

Unless the mods started handing out warnings for spamming the ideas thread with Q&A questions, it wouldn't help as long as it's stickied. The Q&A one should be renamed "GA questions" or something like it, as well.

And it needs to steer clear of anything to do with the sports RP forum or RL Olympics.

This should probably be unstickied, and the Q&A thread renamed Questions thread. Newbies coming to here seem to not realize what Q&A means.

A total ban might be somewhat unpopular, due to the possibility that advances in medicine might be made through relatively uninvasive and harmless use of animals. Additionally, there is currently a resolution, Ethical Treatment of Animals in Research, that regulates the practice.

Though that is a commendable goal, GA proposals are written with a specific policy or goal in mind. They generally focus on a specific area, such as discrimination in the workplace, to avoid being too vague.

Also worth reading the resolution titled The Charter of Civil Rights. There are several others concerning equal treatment, but that is a good start on studying the existing resolutions.

Is this a good proposal?

Postby Untecna » Wed Oct 14, 2020 2:20 pm

The General Assembly, it's associates, and all other tied organizations,

Applauding the efforts of GAR#506 to allow the public to access court records and documents,

Noting that Clause 1 states that "No limitation may be enforced on the ability of member nation inhabitants to read or reproduce such documents; nor may any copyright be recognised or enforced over documents produced by member nation courts." allowing the unlimited reproduction of court documents, and with no copyright, meaning that documents can not be taken off by the court due to needs for confidentiality, and meaning all unsealed documents are in the public domain,

Seeing that while Clause 1 also states that the records are available on request, the documents are also online, making it essentially impossible for confidentiality and redaction of certain portions or all portions to be impossible,

Noting that because these documents are online, they can go from nation to nation, potentially creating legal issues between two or more governments,

Noting that Clause 2 states that all people have a right to court records, potentially interfering with the sovereignty of a nation, and forcing them to allow such documents to be accessed regardless of what the laws of the nation are,

Noting that Clause 3 states that all documents that are unsealed are to go to the Universal Library Coalition, potentially causing legal trouble in the likes of which are stated above,

Noting that Clause 1 enforces a no-fee policy, further infringing on a nation's choice, and destroying a way of extra revenue for the court to support itself,

Hereby repeals GAR#506 "Public Access To Court Records"

It depends on the proposal, although, I highly doubt anything related to lowering crime would pass, due to that being a more national issue than international issue.
May I see the draft (if there is one)?
