Yes. Credit should be given though; e.g. “Authored by Danubian Peoples” at the end of the proposal.

Thanks! I'll get to writing a proposal (and hopefully finding someone to submit and credit me for it).

It requires AN email address. There's no requirement that you use your main or real-named account. I personally have a Gmail account devoted just to gaming. I don't even check it unless I'm expecting something - like a WA confirmation email.

That is, of course, if you are referring to having a different player submitting it. If you use a puppet, such an authorship tag would be branding.

Given the security concerns stated, that's how I took the question, as another player submitting it.

Such requests belong in a TG, not in the Q&A.

That's not necessarily correct. If a proposal was originally drafted [and maybe even submitted, without success] using one nation, but either the original version or a modified one is later submitted using another nation belonging to the same player, then citing the first nation as author or co-author could be legal.
Precedent.

I think that, ideally, there would have to have been significant involvement by both nations separately [rather than just in a single & fairly short drafting thread] — and maybe also, as was the case for St Edmund and Bears Armed Mission, a lack of direct political connection between them, but still an explanation given for why they were cooperating on this — for it to be okay, and GenSec would have to discuss exactly where to draw the line if such a case does occur, but going by that precedent it seems potentially allowable.

It might be good to avoid that, nonetheless, as 8 year old precedent from a different Secretariat body and a different ruleset doesn't carry tons of weight.

Agreed. Coauthorship is always a reason to place an authorship label on a resolution.

Are there any world assembly bills dealing with historic preservation? I'm considering co-authoring a bill on this subject. Thanks!

A new comer in my region wants to right a resolution criminalizing abortion (I will not support it)

Is there a existing resolution against what he is trying to do

Is it easier getting the quorum for a proposal in GA than SC?

The most important variables are "Did you send a campaign telegram to delegates" and "How well written is the resolution?" Crappy proposals are less likely to reach quorum in either branch, and proposals with a TG campaign backing them are more likely in both. If getting to quorum is the reason you're picking one branch over the other, rather than because you have an idea that the WA could benefit from passing, you're most likely wasting your time.

I would figure that they are about the same. Why?

That's not the reason why. I just heard a rumor that it was and wanted to know for myself.
Thank you

They should still be the same but varies on author and proposal. It may seem easier because more proposals in ga have to undergo experience but sc still have bad proposal possible in quorom like self commend and condemn random nations.

All other things being equal, getting something to quorum is the same difficulty in both chambers. The GA and SC don't have differences in getting bad proposals, aside from cosmetic differences in what is available in either chamber.

I understand that the GA Secretariat is very busy but when one of you get a moment could you please review my draft on the Repealing Preventing Desertification? Its either at the bottom of first page or top of the second.

Thank you

The GA Secretariat deals with legality of the proposal. They are not obligated to review if the proposal is good but can look if it's legal.

There are none that deal directly with Islamaphobia. Charter on Civil Rights deals generally with discrimination of all kinds.
