GENERAL ASSEMBLY PROPOSAL
ID: ainocra_1425277507
Repeal "Cooperation in Science Act"
A resolution to repeal previously passed legislation.
Category: Repeal
Resolution: GA#92
Proposed by: Ainocra
Description: WA General Assembly Resolution #92: Cooperation in Science Act (Category: Education and Creativity; Area of Effect: Educational) shall be struck out and rendered null and void.
Argument:
Lauds the goals set forth in the cooperation of science act.
Wishing however to avoid the politicization of science.
Convinced that this act does not do enough to further the advancement of scientific knowledge.
Desiring to do more, for ourselves and our children.
Concerned that in section two WASP is tasked with a goal of coordinating scientific studies and research projects of international scope but given no clear framework or direction on how to accomplish that goal.
Troubled that because WASP is voluntarily funded; a funding entity could potentially halt funding of research in order to control or exploit the advancements for their own ends.
Dismayed That WASP cannot live up to its mandate of providing a public forum for free and unhindered debate on scientific research and issues as outlined in section three due to this lack of oversight in its initial mandate.
Believes that the WASP would better serve the citizens of this assembly with a broader mandate
Asserts That funding of this act under the auspices of the WA general fund would serve to put WASP beyond such political divides, and believing that funding provided by the WAGF would be both unbiased by any one member nation; as well as serving better to further the research done while simultaneously achieving the goal of making it more openly available to the entire assembly.
Knowing we can collectively provide a better future for all people
Hereby repeals GA#92 Cooperation in science act.
I am obviously in support of this. There is a replacement draft that is almost ready.
I think all of Osiris should vote yes on this particular repeal.
in other news I am clearly not biased at all.
