Yes, this is a #130 replacement. I thought of this sort of thing the other day and I think it goes back on #130 in ways that tighten it and also advances civil rights in a strong way.
Finally, if someone can help me tighten the language in clause 4 as it pertains to allowing MMPR, would appreciate it.
"As our Delegation is finally realizing its desire to repeal Resolution 1-3-0, we invite our fellow Ambassadors and interested staff to review a draft of our proposed replacement."
