Opinions in Favor
The Northern Light posted the following as part of their recommendation on the proposal being discussed.
Author of the proposal Bormiar argued the following on the NS forum:
I understand the problems with the resolution and am perfectly capable of repealing it, but I don't believe I'm the best person to write the replacement. That being said, I contacted an experienced member of the region who showed interest in this repeal and I told them I would help them obtain a replacement that did TWI justice. They told me they believed their regionmates didn't really care about a commendation, as their isolationist philosophy/nature makes it impossible to recognize or respect a WA commendation. With that in mind, I couldn't possibly consider Commend TWI a priority or benefit to anyone.
The Security Council has existed almost 12 years without commending the Western Isles. Seeing that not even the region cares about it, I think we can wait a little longer before commending them again.
Greater Cesnica's draft is a start and certainly gave TWI a lot more publicity than it's used to. I think it's got a good shot at getting replaced soon.
Opinions in Opposition
Refuge Isle, founder of Refugia commented the following in an excerpt from the RMB post below:
For the inverse, the author of the target certainly has a much different drafting style than I do, but it is no care of the Security Council and certainly no poor reflection in an author if there are three drafts or three hundred. The goal of all drafting processes is quality and any manner they wish to go about it is valid if it works to that end. It did work to that end, even if it did not ultimately meet expectations. Canonising that process to be in poor taste makes me ill.
Ultimately, the fact that this repeal was submitted without care or consideration to a replacement, where Bormiar had originally said that the commendation was good and should be replaced, and has backpedalled that over time, makes me suspect that the reasoning for the entire repeal is a personal gripe. But that's no concern of mine, I only care about mechanical construction, and the mechanics of this one are pretty yikes to me personally. So I will be voting against.
