[PASSED] WA Numeration and Units Act

[Charlotte Ryberg]

OOC: This has attained quorum, I've added a FAQ.

We're glad you've been inspired by our recent repeal FAQ to follow suit, honoured ambassador. Sorry for taking a bit long to approve it, we were proof-reading it through floors, but were happy with it now.

OOC: Actually I was thinking of "Reduction of Abortion" when I created it.

[Unibotian WA Mission]

OPPOSED! The World Assembly has no business messing around with my unit.

(OOC: How many options are we allowed to vote for in the poll? If the answer is supposed to be 'one, and only one' then you've slipped up...)

[Tarsas]

What a good quality resolution. I support.

I've got news for you, when it comes to resolution FAQs, I've got you beat.

OOC: *pats Bears on the shoulder* Thanks anyways. bud.

[Hiriaurtung Arororugul]

I have voted for all of your poll options, especially the one about entrails. I voted for that twice.

[Lou Sonova]

This body is in full support of this and thus if it comes to the vote stage we will vote yes on this proposal

[Charlotte Ryberg]

The resolution is at vote! The honoured ambassador from Charlotte Ryberg is in favour. Do take note that some gnomes have to do some stuff for us since we all know that not all ambassadors are the jack of all trades. Ether way, a quality resolution!

Yours etc,

[Unibot]

OOC: Wow, I didn't even realize this was up to vote. I nearly collapsed when I clicked the "WORLD ASSEMBLY" page and saw my resolution up.. SURPRISE!

[Bluffton486]

I'm sorry, I don't follow the purpose of this resolution.

1. Declare that all nationstates can have their own measurement system.

Is there a rule that prevents nationstates from having their own measurement system now?

2. Sets up the IMI to track and monitor measurement systems.

We're going to spend the currency of the good people of the world to track measurement systems? Is that a wise use of WA funds?

The nation of Bluffton486 votes opposed to this piece of legislation (which while very well written, is a waste of resources).

[Copenhagen Metropolis]

Come on people, don't let this nonsense go through. It's completely unimportant and won't change anything at all. The resolution is a waste of time, space and resources. It is regulating things that doesn't need to be regulated, it is freeing things that's already free, and it oppose common logic.

[A mean old man]

(excessive use of bold text)

Really? If I'm going to trade some of my nation's less desirable and damaged products with my good pal Unibot, I'd find it helpful to be able to quickly get an accurate exchange rate from a committee that has already done the work for me.

[Unibot]

1. Declare that all nationstates can have their own measurement system.

Not at the moment, or else I would have had to repeal it first.. which wasn't an easy task according to some of the veterans around here in the WA.

2. Sets up the IMI to track and monitor measurement systems.

We're going to spend the currency of the good people of the world to track measurement systems? Is that a wise use of WA funds?

The alternative is, we go without any sort of index for all of these different systems (which could be thousands). Trust me, the WA wastes a lot more money every year.

So what do you do now when trading with Unibot? Is it very complicated you think?

I'm for that!

[Darenjo]

First, thank you to the at least 19 nations that endorsed my unsucessful GA proposal. Not too bad for a first try .
About the Numerations and Units Act, a little spotty, but please vote for it as it is a good start.

[Compasivo Personas]

In relation to the current proposal at vote, making measurements universal will establish a simpler and more efficient way of trade. Therefore, I Rey Vicente Guerrero de Compasivo Personas vote in the AFFIRMATIVE while in the hopes that my colleagues will do the same.

[Enn]

An eminently sensible proposal, as I read it. FOR.

WA Ambassador for Enn

I agree with the good Senor,

if a committee has already made an accurate exchange rate, than it makes less work for the actual nations involved in trade. Can you truly and honestly tell me that you would want to waste the resources of your OWN nation to do that while also simultaneously reducing your trade profits? Isn't it better to have and international entity do the dirty work and YOU reap the benefits.....I thought so, I agree with that too.

I must admit I find this interesting. Where was the Representative from Copenhagen Metropolis the whole time this was being drafted? When it was being discussed? Not even a single peep. Then when it is already up for vote they want us to just vote no because they do not like it? Really? Really?

[Isafero]

"A well written resolution. You have our vote."
-Zora C. Manson, Isafero representative for the WA

[Schm]

Schm is new to the WA. We are currently considering our vote on the proposed resolution, and, while we like it overall, we are having internal debates on the following provision:

"7. DECLARES that it is the right and the duty of the IMI to solve any disputes over proper conventions, standards, or newly discovered applications, which require the creation or the revision of a unit of measurement or its standards;"

Would solving a dispute not pass a kind of judgment on a nation's units of measurement, thus creating a conflict with the first provision of the resolution?

[Poopliana]

This whole Thing has absolutely nothing to do with education or arts, so why is it categorized as education, this is a lie tabulated to gain votes of people who do not read the whole bill. it should be recategorized to something more appropriate, especially since there is no real funding for either arts OR education
