This is my first ever proposal in the United Nations. I look forward to your opinion on it. The proposal is only two days old, but 26 people have already supported it.

THE United Nations,
APPLAUDING UN Resolution #217, “Environmental Science” for creating an international organization that is dedicated to assessing the state of the world’s environment through scientific study,
NOTING that the United Nations Environmental Agency as established in Resolution #217 has the power to “conduct, on a annual basis, surveys of the state of the natural environment… conduct, where requested by the authority with jurisdiction over the particular area, further environmental surveys directed at more specific details… [and] conduct, on a regular basis, such surveys over areas under UN jurisdiction or identified as international or non-national territory,”
NOTING that this organization needs an up-to-date and reliable source of environmental maps in order to conduct their research of the environment, for example topographic maps of a certain area and for a certain time, including maps for average rainfall or snowfall in a certain area, maps of ice sheet and glacier sizes, and maps for river estuaries or the ocean floor
NOTING, as well, that the UNEA, as it tasked with liaising with other international, local, and regional environmental bodies, writing the International Environmental Audit Yearbook, and working towards solving environmental problems with other scientists, and as such the people who work there are extremely busy, the United Nations Environmental Agency may be hard-pressed to create environmental maps for its scientists and other scientists as well
HEREBY establishes a committee of the UNEA, to be named the UN Geographic Survey, to manage the scientific tasks mentioned above, in order to make the work of the UNEA more efficient. This organization shall consist of a group of scientists who are world leaders in this particular field, and any assistants that they hire, who are selected by the heads of the UNEA each year for the express purpose of:
-Creating geological and geographic maps of any detail of any area of the world that the UNEA requests, to be made yearly along with the other surveys sponsored by the UNEA
-Submitting these maps or copies of these maps to the UNEA which shall distribute them to scientists and other environmental organizations according to UNEA guidelines
-Keeping a database of past UN Geographic Survey maps in special buildings set aside specifically for their preservation, and maintaining a website as well, where these maps shall be posted under copyright for public viewing, and information about this organization shall be kept
THE United Nations also states that the UN Geographic Survey shall comply with all the rules and procedures currently governing the UNEA, as set in Resolution #217.
IN the event that Resolution #217 is repealed for any reason, the UN Geographic Survey shall conduct its research and manage its organization independent of any other UN body, and assume the tasks of copying and distributing its maps, and liaising with all environmental organizations, be they local, national, regional, international, or UN-owned, independently as well.
