Structure and Time Table.
Posted: Sat Dec 19, 2009 5:09 pm
It was my intention to structure discussion around the issues. Creating threads for various issues and having a representative help lead those discussions if they feel able.
I figure that this Congress will result in several redrafted or amended treaties that can be put before the General Assembly for vote. I also suspect that a new General Membership Treaty or a Commonwealth Charter will come out of this Congress.
I would like to invite non-members to participate in our discussion because I feel it is important for us as an organization to maintain open communication with non-member nations so as to help foster ties with those nations and the member nations of the Commonwealth, and to perhaps create an organization capable of meeting the needs of more nations. It fully admit I would like to see more non-member nations join the Commonwealth, though I put no pressure on them to do so in this Congress. I simply offer them the chance to have their opinions heard.
I would like to open up major discussion within the week, and to send invites to member nations and non-member nations perhaps by the 22nd.
I feel this is a perfect time for us as an organization to have this congress, for it has been almost exactly a year since the commonwealth began and we have grown much since then.
