Things will be discussed IC about this committee.
- Please start by introducing who your ambassador is and the "goal" your nation is hoping to achieve with these talks.
The Meeting is being held in the great city of Platherian. Located along the southern coast of Stoizzle and although not the capitol, it is the hotspot for the nations politics as well as regional affairs. Please send a few delegates to discuss the draft for the committee as it stands now to tweak and then eventually we can have the delegates sign on if interested. Each delegate will be given a townhouse to stay in with their cabinets, advisers, and bodyguards if needed/wanted. The city is to remain at peace and no ambassador shall feel threatened.

THE ENVIRONMENTAL COMMITTEE
The Environmental Committee seeks to protect the environment and its services through careful stewardship, environmental education of the populous, political pacts and regulations.
Section 1 - Organization
The committee will consist of delegates from each member nation, four Regional Directors, and a Committee Head.
The region will be split into four areas: The Northwest, The Northeast, The Southwest, and the Southeast. These areas will be determined by the committee, seeking a balance of populous and responsibility.
One Committee Head will be elected by the committee members. The Committee Head serves to represent the committee in political affairs.
There will be one director for each area in the region. The directors are elected by their respective regional area. The directors serve to uphold committee legislation in their areas and bring the concerns of the committee members under their jurisdiction to the Committee Head.
The committee head and the area delegates will be up for reelection every month on the last day of the month. Voting will begin the day before the last day and the winners will be announced at 11:50 p.m. PST at the end of each month.
There is no limit to the amount of terms which a committee head or area delegate may serve.
Section 2 - Lawmaking
Any member nation of the Environmental Committee may propose new laws or restrictions.
New legislation of any type will be put forth for debate among member nations. Debate will end when nations agree to a motion for a vote.
Legislation will be passed when two-thirds of the committee votes in favor.
Section 3 - Tenants
The committee will encourage research of new, safe, and healthy alternatives to power and energy.
The Environmental Committee will aim to protect not only habitat for wildlife, but protect wildlife for the human use.
The committee will attempt to analyze all matters that could have an effect on the regional environment, and decide what dangers come with the action, including violation of environmental laws.
The committee will not be involved in military related affairs unless excessive use of biological, chemical, radiological, and nuclear weapons is underway.
The committee will create the first set of sanctions and guidelines and will develop new legislation over time.
Section 4 - Membership
Every nation that has decided to become a committee member must abide by any legislation passed. If a member nation is not in compliance with committee legislation, that nation will be forced to leave the committee.
A member nation may leave the committee at any time.
If a nation chooses to leave the committee but decides to return later, that nation will have to be voted in, and past record may have an effect on future membership.
Nations wishing to join after the signing date of this charter will have to apply, and the committee members will vote if the nation shall be allowed to join.
Section 5 – Laws
Project Oversight
The committee may oversee all member-nation projects that significantly alter ecosystems and will study the immediate and long-term effects on wildlife and habitat. At the behest of a Regional Director or the Committee Head, the committee may seek the permission of a non-member nation to oversee that nation’s project. A non-member nation may request that the committee oversee their project.
