Duplicate resolution?

Dear Mods,
We wanted to check on this before submitting our resolution- We don't think that our proposition "Worldwide media standards" will be a duplication violation of resolution #5. We are refering to the following jurisprudence about UNCoESB, dolphins and whales
http://forums.jolt.co.uk/showthread.php?t=437778&highlight=uncoesb

In the same way as #119 "UNCoESB" was not a duplication of #106 "Protection of Dolphins Act" and #70 "Banning whaling"; we think our proposal is broad enough and that it doesn't qualify as redundancy.

Much thanks,
Richard2008

We also plan to submit a repeal of UN Resolution # 5 the same day that we submit the following resolution:


WORLDWIDE MEDIA STANDARDS
Category: Free Trade
Strength: Significant
Proposed by: Richard2008
________________________________________________
[[This proposition is followed by a repeal which will render null and void UN Resolution #5 “DVD region removal” as it will become unnecessary]]

The United Nations,

-A- CONVINCED that the entertainment industry is a growing sector and is essential to the economic development of our Nations and the happiness of our people

-B- CONVINCED that the former ban of “regional system” for DVDs did not hurt any economy and that Universal standards increase the confidence of customers in this standard and then the likehood of its success

-C- REGRETTING the compatibility issues caused by multiple media formats around the world, and the further lack of coordination between media companies

-D- REGRETTING the problems consumers face when using incompatible media formats,


-1- URGES all Nations to encourages the growth of the entertainment industry

-2- BANS any "regional system" for commercial DRM’s (Digital Rights Management) and media formats, such as Blu-ray disc, High Density Digital Versatile Disc (HD DVD), Universal Media Disc (UMD), Super Audio CD (SACD), DualDisc, Enhanced Versatile Disc (EVD) and any previous or future storage medium,

-3- URGES STRONGLY all the different consortiums who develop each on their side a similar generation of new media support or DRM systems to have closed talks with each other, in order to find an agreement to present a universal format standard,

-4- URGES STRONGLY all nations to regulate DRMs, in order to assure compatibility for customers with most digital music or video portable players,

-5- URGES STRONGLY all Nations to work on and to adopt universal HDTV and digital radio standards.

-6- MANDATES developed nations who propose a media support or DRM system standard to regulate the cost of its patent licensing in order to be financially available to developing nations. Developing nations will be free to develop their own media support, DRM system or HDTV standard if they feel adopting a worldwide one can put their economy at risk,
