International Space Watch Initiative

The International Space Watch Initiative recognizes, that space objects like asteroids, meteors, and comets as well as other objects are in our solarsystem and our universe and may pose a threat to U.N member states and non-U.N member states..

Acknowledges the great work that Resolution #64 has done with regards to creating emergency plans if such a (NEO) like listed above is on a collision course with earth.

An entire field of science in the astronomic field needs to be created to study these objects as well as other mysteries in the Univerise.

Figuring out how the near earth objects move in space and time as well as the trajectories that these objects move is critical in preparing an action plan for a near earth object striking earth. Also, mysteries remain in the Universe that can be answered by a Space Watch initiative, and the Space Watch Initiative will be charged with looking and researching into these mysteries, for example, looking into neutrinos and how they operate and effect earth, the effect of sun spots on human health in space, and on the surface of the planet among others.

1) Creation of a International Space Watch Intiative that will;

a) Track and mark the trajectory of near earth objects as well as other objects that may enter into our solar system from the universe
b) Work to discover some universal mysteries such as
(I) Neutrinos
(ii) Sun Spots
(iii) Universal Expansion
(iv) Law of Gravity

2) Creation of a U.N funded telescope that will be operated by U.N member states to monitor near earth objects (NEO). The U.N funded telescope would also take 'snapshots' of the solar system, better detailing the solar system around us, recording comets, asteroids, and meteors, and also assisting in helping researchers answer some fundamental questions.

3) The creation of a conference called the International Space Watch Initiative Conference or (SWIC) that will allowed U.N member states top scientists to sit down at a conference and discuss the important topics with regards to the universe.

a) This conference can be held at one location or it can switch between U.N member nations.

b) The establishment of a youth committee to assist younger U.N member states' citizens to get involved in Space and (NEO) tracking. The conference would look to ways to get more of U.N member state's children interested in the astronomy field of science for the interest of looking at the Earth and protecting their home from threats.

c) Allow U.N member states top scientists to be able to tell the World Community what progress their individual nation state has had in the field of astronomy and allows the sharing of scientific information without any fears or threats.


Conclusion:

The International Space Watch Initiative will protect U.N member states from dangers and assist younger peoples and astronomic community in the interest of the Universe and answering some of the mysteries of our universe.

We already have a passed resolution on that subject...

Tracking Near Earth Objects (http://forums2.jolt.co.uk/showpost.php?p=7030193&postcount=65)

I do think your proposal is well written, and you obviously put a lot of work into it. Even though this one may be a bust, don't let it stop you trying again on another subject :).

I agree with some of the things you say especially with Tracking Near Earth Objects.

However, this goes further then just near earth objects, where it is wanting to find out about some of the universal mysteries. And with the creation of a telescope (kind of like RL) Hubble which is not apart of Near Earth Objects.

Maybe I would have to repeal it first, but i like that one, and this is just an improvement. But thank you for your comments.

I can see some of your proposal is different to TNEO, but some of it is very much the same too. It could be seen as duplication, at least in part, or trying to amend the original reso.

Just an idea, but if you do like TNEO, and aren't enthusiastic about repealing it, how about changing yours to concentrate on the exploration, telescope part of it, and the sharing of information. Sort of concentrating on the science and education side, while leaving out the near earth objects. That way, you steer clear of clashing with the standing resolution, while still retaining some of the essence of your idea.

I see your point. I might do that, or update it so it is an extension except a repeat of same info. Thankyou.

We'd suggest that our new colleague from Anoriv carefully read the "Rules for UN Proposals" posted as a stickied thread at the top of this forum, paying particular attention to the rules on duplication, contradiction and amendments. It would be a shame to see hard work go into an interesting idea, only to have the proposal snared in questions of legality.

I have updated the resolution somewhat taking out some bits with regards to NEO, and maintaining more on research and a youth component. What does everyone think?

Doesn't states need to be states'?

Well written proposal, but that's the only error i can see. If it comes to the table, Northasia supports it.

So would it be fine as it is or does it need more work?

Thank you for changing the title.

Easy there. Have some patience. This isn't General; sometimes it takes awhile for people to reply.

As the sponsor of the Tracking Near Earth Objects resolution, I feel your proposal (in its current form) is different enough that we'd vote in favour. I'm wondering if we can stress these differences a bit more.

OOC: It has been 2.5 years since the previous resolution was debated, and we've ping-ponged prostitution, labor unions, and several weapons of mass destruction. I'm actually going to recommend to other players that we consider that sometimes a different spin on a old story may bring *new* players into the UN, so as long as the moderators are happy with the idea, I am more than happy to sit on the sidelines. :)

OK, here is a section that we can expand to highlight the differences between the two documents:

Acknowledges the great work that Resolution #64 has done with regards to creating emergency plans if such a (NEO) like listed above is on a collision course with earth.

You could try replacing that with something like:

NOTING that its resolution, Tracking Near Earth Objects, requested that nations work together to track NEOs, but that it did not create an international body or group to coordinate individual national space science research,

But test out both versions on people here.
