“Despite Some of the less than savoury things Kelssek’s representatives may or may not have said in the past, we recognize their contributions in the field of NationStates Sports, and feel that they would be deserving of a commendation. The Free State votes for the proposal.”

Princess Mi Amore Cadenza wrote:

This has our full support, obviously. Kelssek is a valuable member of the NS Sports community and is fully deserving of this commendation.

Against:

Qvait wrote:

While the proposed resolution has a somewhat solid RP component to it, the list of positions the subject has served as part of The East Pacific with no mention of their particular relevance undercuts the strength of the proposal. The author could improve the proposal by elaborating on the relevance of the subject serving in these positions or omitting the section entirely.

HumanSanity wrote:

The more I think about it, I just become more skeptical of this proposal. I think the nominee is deserving but the writing is haphazard in some parts and generally lacks narrative and structure. It falls more than almost any other resolution for the "time to list some things" flaw, as it essentially consists of a list of UN/GA resolutions, a list of sports hostings and sports victories, and then a very very sloppy laundry list of every position they ever held in TEP. At no point does it create narrative and the TEP section in particular is sloppy, as positions do not equate to contributions.

I'm against with a "go back, fix the writing, and try again" theme

The delegation from Concrete Slab is conflicted on how to vote when it comes to this proposal. We agree with many of the sentiments of the good ambassador from Qvait, but still think the proposed recipient of this commendation has some merits.

“There are major issues here not least the fact that the proposing delegation did not do the rest of us the courtesy of providing us with the text of the proposal themselves, and did not open a debate themselves prior to asking us to vote on it.

“The requirement that every single business with an “industrial facility” must have a huge 70 year private dump regardless of the scope of the business is insane.

“The fact that this is stated as a requirement but then the following clause makes it optional is insane. Just what exactly are these businesses supposed to do?

“Then who pays for the 70 years of professional maintenance?

“Investing time and resources in assisting the effort to an non-contained waste-free world” is meaningless drivel.

“This general requirement to “reduce waste discharge” is bonkers. Specific problems have been addressed in other resolutions. It’s hardly the concern of this assemble if an old newspaper happens to blow out the door of a factory.

“This penalties thing. In the incredibly unlikely event that this proposal isn’t rightly utterly rejected by the assembly, I can assure you that the penalty in Bananaistan will be no more than 1/4d per millennium.

“Overall this will be a waste of the assembly’s time. It’s a shame that normal custom and practice has not been followed by the proposing delegation. Someone would have advised them not to bother and not waste everyone’s time.”

"The Calamarilandese Delegacy voted against because of the lack of a drafting process. This makes the proposal's quality very dubious."
