Arfon, of The World's Stronghold

[The Heights]

• The first recommedation is that each item be debated in turn, the proposals will not be considered as one item. If there is a point of disagreement, they will not override points of agreement.
  
  
• The second recommendation is a larger number of classes for regions. Namely under 20, under 50, over 50 and over 100. Our suggested activity rates for raider withdrawal is 45%, 40%, 35%, 25% respectively over 4 days.
  
  
• Third recommendation. No regions under 10 nations to be raided.
  
  
• Fourth recommendation. Raider and defender groups to unite in condemning and tackling griefing. Amend the third recommendation to say 'no regions under 10 " ", unless evidence of repeated griefing is made available'.
  
  
• Fifth recommendation. Legitimate raiding groups will condemn and ostracize those crasher group who continue to practice crashing without heed to the conventions passed in this summit.
  
  
• Sixth recommendation. As in the proposals, defender groups will continue to defend any raided region and will pull out if defeated. It will then be 'illegal' for defender groups to attempt to undermine colonization. However, if the raider group does not pull out if the required activity target is met, hostilities may continue legally.

I would like to make some counterproposals to Arfon:

• In regions over 50 UN nations, a native candidate must come within 5 endorsements of the Lord Protector for the colony to be abandoned, within 2 days.
  
  
• In regions under 50 UN nations, at least 75% of them must have actively protested the invasion on the RMB or in protest letters to the delegate and at least 50% of them must have chosen a delegate and endorsed them.
  
  
• I also move that non-UN nations, possibly being puppets, must be excluded from the required number of nations active.
  
  
• Spying may continue in both regions, however, if a spy is captured and/or identified, the region identified as spying must refrain from raiding for 28 days or until the spy's nation has died. If there is nobody to point to (i.e. an anonymous spy), then no region may be punished unless SERIOUS evidence in brought against that region in a trial to be arbitrated by a representative from 3 raiding nations and 3 defender nations and an impartial member.
  
  
• Any participating region found to be in violation of the rules put forth by this summit will be punished and sanctioned by the remaining members. This includes groups (i.e. if DEN is violating these rules, then all WAR members must suffer the consequences, i.e. invasion by all remaining members) and alliances.

Since it seems to have been agreed that each issue shall be taken one by one and not in its totality, I would say, not commenting on the Merits of the 4th above statement by Martian Nation-States, that American style arbitration is traditionally done by each party picking an arbitrator, and said two arbitrators agree on a nuetral third arbitrator, who arbitrates any hearing (without the first two doing anything but having picked the third).

[Martian City-States]

The 3x1x3 Arbitration proposal was designed to ensure that the arbitrator does not gain too much power.

Since it is assumed that in a worse-case-scenario, each side will be split 3x3 over a policy. The arbitrator does not select his own policy, but must choose one of the two put forth.

Example:

A Better Colonial Ambition completely violates Summit rules in Muropia. Three representatives from the raiders decide that the punishment should be no raiding for 28 days and the three defenders think that the Global Alliance should invade. An arbitrator can't say "50 days, no raiding and Southern South must die". He can only choose policies set forth by actual Global members.
