Greetings honourable nations of The East Pacific,

Forgive the intrusion - I hope you don't mind my anchoring here for a couple of days. As the author of the proposal at vote, I hope to engage with any questions or objections in a positive manner.

If you have not done so already, I implore you to have a brief read of the discussion thread here: http://forum.nationstates.net/viewtopic.php?f=9&t=279463

This gives a balanced overview of the proposal with a majority of comments in favour, although there are, of course, some dissenters.

Let me be clear on a couple of points:
  • nothing in the text of the resolution can be construed to force member states to not operate fracking sites anywhere they wish, nor car any member state be forced to shutdown operations;
  • member states are being asked to take minimum precautionary measures, where appropriate, to protect resident peoples and the environment - it should be noted that these requirements fall well short of anything as currently required by World Assembly Resolution #263 Uranium Mining Standards Act, #223 Transboundary Water Use Act or other previous legislation in order to minimise the cost to industry;
  • "where appropriate" is to allow FT member states a wide latitude in interpretation to allow for remote seismic activity control, forcefield containment of contaminent and transporter removal, and temporary rehousing of displaced peoples in synthetic recreations of their home environs (for example, as might occur here in [nation]Aligned Planets[/nation]) or for the lack of necessesity to restore local environments if previous environments were uninhabited wastelands, deserts, asteroids, etc;

My aim, obviously, is to convince a majority of you to support my proposal and, in doing so, gain the support of your esteemed WA Delegate Bachtendekuppen.

Best regards,


AP
