setting the Agenda
- Procedural Motion:
- PPNL: Change the order in which the motions will be processed. Move MO-11 before MO-1
- Rationale: MO-11 if passed would move MO-1 to MO-7 to a negotiation track outside the GA, and therefor would no longer require MO-1 to MO-7 to be discussed today. Therefor it would make sense to discuss it beforehand.
- for reference MO-11 "Motion: We call on the General Assembly to defer any policy motion to a proper treaty negotiation track."
- Rationale * Given that an General Assembly has no time to give these subjects an adequate amount of attention or oversight.
- Given that a treaty negotiation type of track allows all member parties to influence the substance adequately.
- MO-1 to MO-7 would be affected.
- Vote on procedural motion:
- Yes: IT, TN, DE, CZ, CH, NL, NZ, FI, NO, CAT(0.5), CA, GR = (11.5)
