The award for sundays best dressed goes to….

Resolution accepted

After an outdrawn and grueling voting process, the draft resolution 1.4 was finally voted through.

The full text of the resolution will soon be available on the blog.

Amendments being processed

Three unfriendly amendments are going into vote before the draft resolution 1.4 can be finally addressed and voted for.
