Greetings Members and Delegaes of the UN.
I submit the latest draft of my Proposal for the perusal of the members before i submit it for approoval. I have taken on board the suggestions af the Members and have rewritten the proposal to meet the concerns of those who replied. Your opinion as ever is greatly appreciated.

President Murphy,
UN Delegate to the Realm of Hibernia.

World Organ Donor Centre.

Description.
Given that thousands of sick people die everyday needlessly while waiting for a suitable Donor Organ to become available,

Given that many Nations harvest their peoples organs after death and are left with an oversupply,

Recognising and enhancing the recommendations pertaining to organ donors governed by resolution #55, World Blood Bank,

Recognising and affirming article 4 of Resolution #26, the Universal Bill of Rights, and accepting that the membership of the UNWODC, by any Nation or individual is voluntary,

Extending the role of the International Red Cross / Crescent Organisation (IRCO) as per resolution #29,

Recognising the articles of resolution #49, Rights and duties of UN States,

Calling on the Nations of the UN to increase funding for both governmental and non governmental organisations charged with the implementation and administration of the UNWODC,

I propose that the UN Set up a World Organ Donor Centre (UNWODC) to centralise and process all the worlds organ needs. This will ensure that if the precious organs needed by sick and dying persons in a Nation where there are a lack of Donor Organs, can be sourced in another Nation. Once ratified by the Delegates and members of the UN a select implementation committee shall be set up and charged with consultation, tendering and resourcing of all materials, experts and tradesmen and implementing the UNWODC.

I propose The UNWODC shall issue Donor Cards to the peoples of all Nations to be signed on a voluntary basis so that on death donors organs can be harvested on finding the card and sent directly, after testing for type and condition, to the suitable patient in need of an organ transplant. In clarification, the UNWODC does not store the organs but directs the source where to ship the available organs and by what method, whilst simultaneously notifying the recipient patient and medical facility to be ready to begin the transplant as soon as the organs are delivered.

I propose funding for the UNWODC shall be sourced from the coffers of the International Community, By way of increased governmental funding, for relief and fund raisers held locally by the IRCO and other relief and charitable organisations.

I propose that the IRCO administrate the UNWODC, once implemented and make available their vast transport infrastructure. I call on all governments to give access to their territorial lands to the couriers of the UNWODC and assistance if required in delivery to the waiting patients. This will ensure the speedy delivery of the Organs to where they are required, with out delay.

I propose only healthy organs are used, and only for saving lives by way of organ transplant. In no way are the organs be used by peoples influenced by cannibalism, vampirism or any other nefarious use.

I propose that the criteria set down deciding which patients get the available organs, follow the following order,
1, Closest tissue type match and suitability for transplant,
2, Life expectancy of the patient, those in mortal danger prioritised,
3, Distance and infrastructure resulting in the delivery of transplantable organs,
All patients shall be treated equally and no patients shall get priority based on wealth or status. The criteria must be rigidly enforced.
I am aware that this will not save all the sick and dying people but it will give those who are still young, with everything to live for, a bloody good chance. Don’t let these People down. Don’t condemn them to die from inaction.
Approve and enact the UNWODC.

I supported it before, I support it now.

PS - Love the vampire addition.

Thank you Nargopia. Your council is noted and appreciated

I think a bit of formatting is still needed, but I honestly like what you are doing here. I've seen some significant changes since the prior version, which shows clearly you have listened and responded to feedback.

In particular I like the following idea:

I propose The UNWODC shall issue Donor Cards to the peoples of all Nations to be signed on a voluntary basis so that on death donors organs can be harvested on finding the card and sent directly, after testing for type and condition, to the suitable patient in need of an organ transplant. In clarification, the UNWODC does not store the organs but directs the source where to ship the available organs and by what method, whilst simultaneously notifying the recipient patient and medical facility to be ready to begin the transplant as soon as the organs are delivered.

I like how these are voluntary cards, per a previous discussion, and that you are just talking about where to ship things and sending notification. Essentially the above section is just administrative, which I think is feasible.

I like it. A lot.

Suggestions:

1. Remove the word "I".

2. The following section I love in concept but I think there's something wrong with the wording. I'm too tired right now to figure out what.

I propose that the criteria set down deciding which patients get the available organs, follow the following order,
1, Closest tissue type match and suitability for transplant,
2, Life expectancy of the patient, those in mortal danger prioritised,
3, Distance and infrastructure resulting in the delivery of transplantable organs,

Those criteria aren't really differing priorities, but priority weightings or something.
Call them weightings and make it the IRC's job to assign specific weights to the categories and calculate composite priority, maybe.

thank you all for your support on this issue, I am taking on board your suggestions for rewording etc. All comment and opinion on this matter is apreciated weither good or bad.

remember people,
I am trying also to keep this as consice and to the point as possible so it wont bore the ass off the delegates who have to read it and approove it.

I like it!

yeah, brilliant idea, im all on for it :)

I have considered the previous messages, and have decided to further amend the draft.

For your perusal.....

Honourable Members and delegates,
While we talk, the need is urgent. I honestly believe the UNWODC can and will save lives. It is imperative that it does not fail this time around.
Have you any ideas how it can be brought to the attention of as many delegates as possible without spamming them. Alas i fear it may not get the approovals required.
Also I am retireing as Delegate for my region on March 1st 2005 to concentrate on My Presidency and the administration of The Realms Off site forums, so it would be helpful if this can be put to bed by then. I still plan to be active here in the UN Forums and will be personally coaching my successor.
President Murphy,
UN Delegate to the Realm of Hibernia.

I would recommend beginning the actionable paragraphs something like this:

Calling on the Nations of the UN to increase funding for both governmental and non governmental organisations charged with the implementation and administration of the UNWODC,

The UN shall set up a World Organ Donor Centre (UNWODC)...

The UNWODC shall issue Donor Cards to the peoples...

Funding for the UNWODC shall be sourced from the coffers of...

The IRCO will administer the UNWODC, once implemented...

Only healthy organs shall be used, and only for saving lives...

The following weightings shall befollowed rigidly...

All patients shall be treated equally and no patients shall get priority based on wealth or status.




And then these comments maybe moved to the preamble or something; excellent sentiments, but not what should be in a UN resolution.

The criteria must be rigidly enforced.
I am aware that this will not save all the sick and dying people but it will give those who are still young, with everything to live for, a bloody good chance. Don’t let these People down. Don’t condemn them to die from inaction.
Approve and enact the UNWODC.

I have taken given asshelmetta's advice due consideration and have made changes.
How ever the bit at the end although emotive and personal i have decided to keep as it emphasises the importance of the Proposal.

If there are no more suggestions you may expect the proposal to be posted midnight (GMT) of 10th February 2005.

Thank you all again for your advice. Now all i need is 145 approx Delegartes to approove the Proposal.

President Murphy,
UN Delegate to the Realm of Hibernia.

The proposal has been submitted after a final gramatical tweek.
I am calling on all the Delegates of the United Nations to aproove this. The proposal can only do good for those who partake in the organ donor schemes.
There are many people waiting for this to pass before they do. Time is short, Aproove, ratify and enact the UNWODC now!

President Murphy,
UN Delegate to the Realm of Hibernia.

already approved, my friend.

It appears a policy of WHO GIVES A DAMN is rife in the UN....


Approvals: 34 (Venerable libertarians, Novostrano, Asshelmetta, Cihlar, Krioval, The Wild Cards, Liberal Fascism, Kadield, Branin, WZ Forums, Yelda, Kubersland, Andromecca, Flibbleites, Republic of Freedonia, Kevin Islands, Magnificata, Gaiah, Cofer, Zhukhistan, Monadnock, Malagassia, La Commune Quebecoise, Feliz, Markodonia, Klashonite, Mandaroonie, Honesty X, Pbar, Looplyness, DougIsGodLand, Incarnatia, Green Forrest People, Al-Zar)

Status: Lacking Support (requires 112 more approvals)

Voting Ends: Sun Feb 13 2005


after three days since i submitted the proposal and with less than 24 hours remaining it appears the UN here is worse than the real UN for sitting on the fence and just having a grand old time with well paid positions not bothered to get off their arses and do something. All i asked is that the proposal be considered by the Delegates. It appears even after exhaustive research and with cooperation with the members who give a damn, reflected in the reconstructed proposal, the vast number of delegates "JUST DONT CARE"

I read every proposal that comes to the UN for aprooval no matter how inane or insane and vote with good concience on all that reflect the percieved views of the Nations and Peoples of the Realm of Hibernia.

I am frustrated and upset. I thank all those members whose help in redrawing the proposal was paramount and i thank from the bottom of my heart all those Delegates who at least took the time to read the proposal under review.

As i have stated earlier i am to retire as un Delegate on the 01st february 2005 to concentrate on the presidency of the Realm of Hibernia, but the way i feel right now is to resign the seat My nation has within the UN.


I appeal to the Nations who are the delegates of the UN. do your job! Read the proposals. Approove the proposals that reflect your views. Vote with good concience.

President Murphy,
Totally frustrated UN Delegate to the Realm of Hibernia. :headbang:

retirement date is he 1st march 2005

PUBLIC NOTICE!

RE UN DELEGATION.

After my 68 days as UN Delegate for the realm and after working hard for the Realm of hibernia in approoving the proposals and voting in the resolutions that effect all our UN Members and after also trying my self to pass proposals in the interests of the peoples of the Realm and the World, I have become increasingly unhappy and frustrated with both the Delegates to the UN and with the ineffectiveness which it runs.
It seems that the majority of the delegates of the UN are only interested in Prostitution issues and it also appears to me that the majority of UN Delegates just simply dont do their job. A delegate is tasked with 1, representing the views and opinions of the majority of its regions UN members. 2 viewing and considering the proposals for aprooval to be moved to the ratification stage for voting and then 3, to vote in good concience on the issues that come up for enacting.

I apologise profusely to the delegates that are still working hard and you will forever comand my utmost respect.

As a result of the frustration ,I feel, I have no recourse but to publically resign, not as delegate but from the UN totally.Maybe some day when it has become more than just an international talk shop i will reapply.

The Delegates job shall fall to whomever has the most endorsements and whomever that is i will confer full moderation rights for the UN section of the realms forums.

This is my last post as Delegate to the Realm.

Thank you,
President Murphy,
UN Delegate to the Realm of Hibernia. (RETIRED) :headbang:

I think we ought to give more time for the proposals to be endorsed. I think now its only like 3 days or somthing. It ough to be at ;east a week.
