We are wondering if you would campaign to other delegates?

We simply cannot believe that this proposal has been submitted. It is absurdly lacking in vital details and necessary clarifications, it would be dangerous if it did anything. We are appalled at the negligence of its authors.


Yours,
- Mongkha, Khan of Kashgar, Ambassador in Plenipotentiary to the World Assembly for the Confederated Sublime Khanate of Urgench -

The Kingdom of Manticore Reborn strongly protests the submission of this bill to the queue. It appears that all of the suggestions made by my government to make this legislation palatable have been completely ignored. We demand that the author submit a request to moderations to have this legislation pulled from the queue until such time as it has been deemed worth of consideration by the august body.
Respectfully,
Hamish Alexander, Eighteenth Earl of White Haven
Minister of Foreign Affairs to His Majesty King Roger VI
The Kingdom of Manticore Reborn

Done. I am now going to send the request.

I believe that this draft isn not clear at all to outline the boundaries of information and freedom. Whilst I support freedom of information, I belive that this draft has to have a rehaul and be clearer.

The government of Chemaki is disgusted by this senseless proposal. Each and every government has the right to keep its information classified without prejudice from other nations. Chemaki demands a repeal of this draft immediately!

What are the criteria that you suggest?

I'm suggesting that the government be open, and everyone be able to see the information, Except for the pinnacle. Even government meeting transcripts should be released, all except for things like spy operations.

Perhaps you could suggest actual changes to the text of the proposal?
