[Ghazkull]

Teton votes aye to all proposals. and now lets get a move on, the inefficency of this Comittee is disgraceful.

[Orange Wizard]

"I must agree with Muska. Yea, to whatever the sod it is."

[10ebbor10]

Supreme Representative Robert

With those votes, all proposals before the Policy Council have been ratified, and can move on to the next stage, where they will need to be ratified by the General assembly. We can also use this moment to decide upon a new budget. I thus end the meeting of the Policy Council, and commence a meeting of the General Council.

This forum will end within about 36 hours.

Spoiler: What's happening (click to show/hide)

Everyone needs to vote Yay or No to each of these proposals. YOU DO NOT GET TO MAKE AMMENDAMENTS.

Someone will need to propose a budget.

At the end of all discussion periods, a final vote will be held by the Assembly Leader on all the actions proposed by the committee. The committee’s members will vote on each action one after another, and any action that receives the support of a majority of the committee’s members will be passed on. After this, the forum will end.

SECTION 2: RESPONSIBILITIES
It is the responsibility of the Assembly Leader to maintain the integrity and professionalism of the United Assembly. The Assembly Leader leads all public forums within the United Assembly, and is therefore solely responsible for its functioning. The powers this grants the Assembly Leader will now be outlined.

Calling a Committee to Order:
In order for any committee within the United Assembly to function, it must first be called to order by the Assembly Leader. All nations within that committee thereafter have twenty-four hours to respond to the call to order before the forum begins. No two committees may have running forums at the same time. When a committee is called to order, the Assembly Leader may set a maximum length of duration for the committee's discussions of no less than 24 hours. If two committees are running at the same time, members will take great care to make clear which committee they are addressing.

Holding Votes:
During the discussion period, a member of the committee may move to make an amendment to the action being discussed, whereupon the Assembly Leader will hold a vote on whether or not the amendment should be made. If a majority of the committee’s members approve the amendment, the action will be amended accordingly. During the discussion period, a member may move to make an amendment to the action being discussed. At the end of the discussion period, a vote will be held on all amendment. If two conflicting amendments are voted, as second round of voting between the two amendment will occurs. Once all the amendments have been voted, a final vote will be held on the final proposal.

At the end of all discussion periods, a final vote will be held by the Assembly Leader on all the actions proposed by the committee. The committee’s members will vote on each action one after another, and any action that receives the support of a majority of the committee’s members will be passed on. After this, the forum will end.


Disciplining Delegates:
If a delegate demonstrates conduct unbecoming of the United Assembly, the Assembly Leader may expedite action by submitting an action directly to the Security Council to be considered in its next forum.

Nominating Committee Chairman
In order to lighten his workload, the Assembly Leader may, if he so desire, nominate a Committee Chairman from a Committee's members. The Chairman will exercise the Assembly Leader's prerogative on his behalf in all matters related to his Committee.

Signing an Action:
If an action is passed to the Assembly Leader for approval, it must be signed by him or her, whereupon it will immediately go into effect, or it will be sent back to the committee that passed it on unsigned, and must receive at least a two-thirds majority consensus in the final vote of its next forum to go into effect unsigned.

To Modify Chapter 4, Section 2, Modification of a section thus:
The first sentence become "This action officially amends up to two sections of the Charter."
And adding a second sentence "Several members of the Policy Committee can jointly propose an action modifying up to two sections per proposing members."

CHAPTER 9: Conflict Resolution Mechanism

SECTION 1 : Commencement Of the Procedure

Any nation can request the commencement of a Conflict Resolution Procedure at any time. When a conflict resolution procedure is requested, the Assembly leader can decide whether or not to suspend the on-going forum, move immediately towards a vote on ongoing issues, or continue the forum. He can also decide to suspend the measure, until the resolution procedure can be completed.

The Conflict Resolution Mechanism will then start at the next forum of the relevant board.

SECTION 2 : Different grounds for commencement of Procedure

There are 3 different grounds for starting the conflict Resolution Mechanism:
       - Conflict with the charter
       - Conflict with other decisions taken in the past
       - Conflict with the shared goals of the United Assembly: Peace, Security and Equal Treatment for all.

SECTION 3 : Primary Resolution Mechanism

In first instance, mediation will be done by the General Assembly. The General Assembly will try to mediate between parties, after which the assembly leader will hold a vote to decide if the measure needs to be reconsidered by the board that made it and if so, if the contended measure needs to be suspended. The assembly leader will hold a vote on both issues and the action will be passed on to the assembly leader

SECTION 4: Secondary Resolution Mechanism

If the issue could not be resolved by the Primary Resolution Mechanism, the issue will be passed on to the Security Council. The Security council will try to mediate between parties, after which the assembly leader will hold a vote to decide if the measure needs to be reconsidered by the board that made it and if so, if the contended measure needs to be suspended. The assembly leader will hold a vote on both issues and the actions will be passed on to the assembly leader

SECTION 5: Tertiary Resolution Mechanism

If the issue could not be resolved by the Secondary Resolution Mechanism, the issue will be passed on to the Council of First Nations. The Council of First Nations will try to mediate between parties, after which the assembly leader will hold a vote to decide if the measure needs to be reconsidered by the board that made it and if so, if the contended measure needs to be suspended. The assembly leader will hold a vote on both issues and the actions will be passed on to the assembly leader

Ambassador van der Cord, Zimiateos

"I believe the proposals to be a reasonable step toward the smooth running of this council. I thus vote 'Yay' to all four.

I would also like to propose a new budget:

Spoiler: GA-B-002-P-Z-0 (click to show/hide)

Income - A flat rate of 10 million Avalian dollars per nation in the general assembly, supplemented by a further 3 million Avalian dollars for every committee a nation is on outside the assembly.

The burder is apportioned thusly:

Avalia: 22,000,000
Teton: 22,000,000
New Gavalon: 19,000,000
Jegula: 19,000,000
Rutinde: 22,000,000
Tirina: 16,000,000
Olmis: 16,000,000
Ethivul: 13,000,000
Ordia: 16,000,000
Zimiateos: 13,000,000
Brennar: 13,000,000
Miria: 19,000,000

Total: 210,000,000

I believe a nation's contributions to our budget should correlate with that nation's influence within these chambers."

[Ghazkull]

You speak out of order Delegate, this is the Policy Comittee, wait your turn till the General Assembly is called to order again.

[10ebbor10]

With those votes, all proposals before the Policy Council have been ratified, and can move on to the next stage, where they will need to be ratified by the General assembly. We can also use this moment to decide upon a new budget.

((This is the General Assembly. Original post will be edited for clarity.))

[Sheb]

"We Tirinian think this Assembly should not spend its time squabbling about budget. A budget was passed last week, and was good enough. Let's just keep it."

Property Dispute May Rise to United Assembly
September 24th, 2014
Most citizens of Avalia are aware of the brotherly dispute taking place in the Midwest. The Kake family has been in turmoil since the death of Jonathan Kake, Sr. Brothers Timothy Kake and Jonathan Kake, Jr. have been engaged in a lengthy and very public legal disagreement over who is entitled to their father's estate, which covers approximately 10,000 square miles and includes several towns. Kake Sr. left no will, which has spurred both sons into a complicated legal battle fueled by vague and conflicting statutes. Finally, the younger son Timothy has announced his intention to bring the case before the United Assembly’s Committee to Promote Justice within the week.
