"The amendment forwarded the the Kasnyian delegation and seconded by Austria has been edited into the proposal. Additionally, the suggestion by our Russian colleagues has also been amended into the proposal."
"The Republic thanks the Kasnyian Empire for making available its superbattleship the IKS Zorlin and the Republic will have its carrier battle group based in Gibraltar (led by the carrier Fabius Valens) join the Kasnyian superbattleship on its way to Yoloys. However, perhaps the Presidium should inquire if the Republic of Salik would be willing to provide ICON with its temporary base of operations, until such a time as ICONOY is established in Cyprus."

The Russian Ambassador sat quietly as he listened to the Kasnyians and Austrians. He smirked at what he was hearing, more power to the presidium. Today it was the power to enforce the will of the plenary assembly, tomorrow.....where would it end. ICON was a beautiful dream but the Russian now wondered how quickly it would take to have this dream tainted and a new Dominion rise. For now however, his own musings would be his own and he'd simply sit and watch. ______________________________________________________ "If the presidium is to have the power to elect its own military commander of this issue then there must be some safeguard, some assurance to the plenary assembly that they are not without their own power. This presidium is indeed designed to enforce the will of ICON but cannot and must not become the will of ICON in and of itself." Ambassador Keikura pleaded. "If the presidium is to elect its commander, then the Plenary Assembly should at least be given some sort of measure to act as a review or oversight to the decision. Perhaps the ability to veto the decision if the assembly brings the matter up and votes, a voting needing a majority within the body. Yes this could bring more bureaucracy to the decision, but that is only if the assembly chooses to act, if not then the presidium decision is held in tact." "The Federation does support the idea of a base in Salik, could our colleagues agree. Also, the Federation shall launch its own carrier group from the red sea to join the ICON group at the island of Yoloys." Edited by NRE, May 20 2014, 11:40 AM.

"We remind our colleagues from the African Federation that any proposal passed by the Presidium will have to also be passed by the Plenary Assembly, barring a unanimous vote from the members of the Presidium which follows the terms of the ICON Charter. The Plenary Assembly is free to declare that specific point and the Republic does not feel that veto power on the Presidium's choice as Chief Operational Commander endangers the present proposal. Should it be brought up, the Republic will support the proposal all the same. "The Republic also wishes to thank the Republic of Salik for its support of the current proposal and for its willingness to provide a temporary base of operations within its borders. ICON shall not forget this act." OOC: Could we get some votes now or does someone wish to discuss another amendment? |

"Scythirus will promise its use of the veto should this proposal go forward on the floor," Hakar Ohmirzi stated so plainly and matter-of-factly, that he almost seemed like he was bored. "Instead, we concur with Russia's earlier suggestion that my government investigate the matter through its diplomatic channels with CMESS." |

"On the discussion of a safeguard for the Plenary Assembly, perhaps give it control of the financial aspect of operations rather than veto power over a commander. After all, commanders must be chosen by merit, not democracy," replied the Alexanderhavenien ambassador. --------------------- "Are the parties willing to negotiate? Kasnyia is of the opinion that force should be used only as a last resort and so if we can instead force a negotiation, that would be preferable." |

OOC: Bump IC: The Porcuian Head Representative motioned to speak immediately following being given an intelligence report. "Porcuian surveillance aircraft, with the assistance of Kasnyian military intelligence, have found true disturbing reports of mass transportation of businessmen and woman from CMESS occupied territories in Yoloys. These individuals, which include an array of non-proletarians, seem headed for the Confederacy. While we cannot declare with any confidence what is happening to these individuals once in the Confederacy, the Republic hopes this latest news will spur the Presidium to pass the current resolution and allow ICON to take action in Yoloys." |

OOC: June 1st has passed, but I'm assuming I still have a say here. IC: "These recent developments surely present the Presidium with the need to act urgently, and therefore, it is the belief of the Austrian state that immediate countermeasures be undertaken by this body to negate further deportation of Yoloyese citizens. First, an official condemnation of the Confederate invasion and its conduct inside Yoloys should be drafted on top of the one already suggested for the Republic of Salk and the WLC. Second, ICON should mobilize a peacekeeping force immediately with the order to enter Yoloys after no less than 48 hours. In effect, all belligerents have that 48 hour period to evacuate Yoloys and cede all operations to ICONOY forces. After that point, ICONOY forces should be granted jurisdiction over operations and to conduct self defense measures if threatened." |

OOC: You are correct, Whal, as this issue was conducted during Austria's term as a Member of the Presidium. IC: Our Austrians colleagues will find that a strong condemnation of Confederate actions has already been amended to the proposal before the Presidium. The time frames may be adjusted to reflect the growing crisis situation, but the Republic urges an immediate up-or-down vote by the Presidium. |

OOC: Anyway to get this vote done? IC: The reality of the situation is becoming more dire as time presses on. ICON must act now, or fail in its duty. If the Presidium fails in this endeavor, its credibility as a force of stability and peacekeeping will be lost forever. It must demonstrate today that illegal invasions will not be tolerated in our new world. This measure must be moved to a vote immediately. |

"Russia seconds a call for a vote and would like to open the floor for a vote. Russia votes in favor of the resolution." "The Federation also votes in favor of the resolution." OOC: I was going to append a poll but I couldn't remember if we did that or just posted votes, so I'll let us post votes in this one. Edited by NRE, Jun 29 2014, 01:33 PM.

OOC: The vote stands, thus far, as 5 FOR (Russia, African Federation, Austria, Salik, Porcu) and 0 AGAINST. Also, due to Russian objections (IIRC) when the ICON Charter was first being discussed the veto power does not exist. Resolutions are either passed or not. |

FOR = Russia, African Federation, Austria, Salik, Porcu, El Dejarbo AGAINST = Scythirus BLANK = Wallace Islands, Kasnyia OOC: I think that the nation lists will need updating, so I'll do that later this evening.

The Porcuian Head Representative convened the Presidium, this time with new Rotating Members, once the first operational forces under the banner of ICON landed on the island of Cyprus. "A swift decision by the Presidium is needed with regard to ICONOY: the establishment of an overall commander for international peacekeepers. Additionally, a large number of soldiers have already been pledged by the Republic and by the Federation. Before members of the Plenary Assembly are asked to commit forces, are there representatives here who will add strength to the peacekeeping operations of ICONOY?" |

OOC: I actually thought Austria said it would contribute some troops, but I see that I never actually pledged any. IC: Johan Speck rose from his seat and shifted through some paperwork. "The Austrian Empire would be honored to assist in implementing the justice of ICON. As a result, the Austrian 1st Expeditionary Force and elements of the 2nd Fleet will be ordered to Cyprus in support of ICONOY forces." |
