WA Tax Restriction
A resolution to establish administrative parameters.


Category: Bookkeeping
Effect: Minor
Proposed by: Twafflonia

Description: RECOGNIZING the necessity to fund certain measures called for by World Assembly resolutions;

ACKNOWLEDGING that the World Assembly is not necessarily representative of the citizens of member nations;

OBSERVING the temptation to utilize the World Assembly as a medium for unnecessary, unproductive, or harmful interference with the citizens of member nations;

DESIRING to increase international human rights without imposing unrequested or unfair burden on the citizens of member nations;

The World Assembly hereby :

1. DECLARES that its measures shall not be supported through direct taxation of the citizens of member states;

2. REQUESTS and APPLAUDS voluntary monetary and material contributions from member states and the citizens thereof;

3. AUTHORISES the formation of the World Assembly Capital Contribution Organisation (WACCO) to receive and record contributions and donations for the World Assembly, as well as any stipulations endowed upon the contributions for their use.


Voting actually ends on this proposal today, and as of this moment it's 44 votes short. Will 44 benevolent WA delegates see this before the proposal's time is up? I don't know, but I fear it's too late for a last-minute telegraph campaign.

That said, I could resubmit it. (And I'd be more than grateful to anyone willing to help with a telegraph campaign... as it seems that's the only way to bring a proposal to vote.)

Anyone have suggestions that won't further complicate the proposal to the point that it tries to do too much and thus becomes unpalatable to the majority of WA members?

How many times have people said over the last two months, "Don't use the Bookkeeping category?"

Sigh.

Too many.
