Liechtenstein humbly asserts that no it's vote is not for sale and if you would like to discuss this further is willing to hold discussions about that subject.
Brazil supports an amendment to increase the number of simultaneous resolutions under consideration to 5, so that the delegation doesn't have to wait several days before something interesting happens.

This is a bad idea. We'll potentially have 62 countries arguing over 5 topics in the same thread. I don't think mtvcdm could handle it, either.

The delegation from the Great and Sovereign state of Iraq has spent the evening drinking at a friend's birthday party and missed the first four pages but is totally stoked that his ideas regarding etiquette and protocol were incorporated into the rule system. Dr. Hamid Al-Bayati will be back tomorrow morning to review current debate when he is less drunk.

2 is the number adopted by Azerbaijan.
I do, however, reserve the right to send it right back to 1 if I find I'm too far in the weeds.

Bonjour delegates, The French Republic would vote for the resolution proposed by Azerbaijan, as amended by Canada and Russia.
Unless I am preoccupied with more important things, such as eating crêpes.
Also, The French Republic will update their signature with an animated flag when not at work and able to access photobucket (the t, of course, is silent.)

The Representative from Jamaica moves that the amendment upping the number of debated resolutions from one to two be struck from the resolution, in the belief that two proposals may cause too much clutter and stress, as well as interfering with the vibrations of the room.
Jamaica supports all other amendments to the resolution.
The Representative from the Dominican Republic agrees with Jamaica. All attention should be given to one resolution at a time. Nevertheless, I support all other amendments.

How 'bout it stays at one until we hammer out the rules and such and put them into practice for a few days. We could always amend it to two later right?

Okay. Now, as for Canada and Russia... accept or reject?

CANADA
Amendment 1:
*Voting begins when all states have used up their words or 24 hours has passed, whichever comes first. (This changes it from "reasonable amount of time" to a set time limit. 24 hours should let people from all time zones get their say in, especially after the 12 hour yield period. If 24 hours is too short, Azerbaijan is free to decline.)
Amendment 2:
*"YES" votes should be bolded in lime, and that "NO" votes should be bolded in red. (This makes votes easier to count.)
RUSSIA
Yielding time should be decided on a case by case basis by the Secretary General (e.g. Resolution: Kittens are Cute might get a reduced yielding time, while Resolution: What to do with Israel might get an extended time).

Lemme roll 'em in. Our amended resolution:
*Anyone may submit a resolution, which then must be seconded by five people. First to five is the one we work on.
*Once the nature of debate is agreed to, directly affected parties are alloted 300 words to state their case, and all other parties 100 words.
*Parties may then yield their words to other parties as they see fit for a period of time determined by the Secretary General on a case-by-case basis. More yielding time will be given to more serious issues.
*After the yielding period has ended, all parties with time may begin to argue using whatever time they have been allotted.
*During arguing time, other parties may propose amendments, to be adopted or rejected by the proposing party. Other delegates may not debate them, but may express in what way, if any, the amendment will affect their vote.
*Once words have expired or 24 hours have passed (whichever occurs first), voting will take place for a period of 18 hours. Majority rules. Yes in lime, no in red.
Do I have any further amendments or are we good to vote?

That's five. Six, in fact.
We will now vote on Resolution #1. A majority of all voting is required to pass. This will be an 18-hour vote. (Or until we get a clear majority of all members period, which at this moment would be 32 out of 63, and it's painfully obvious the result isn't about to change. 18 hours from now would put vote close during my shift at work.)
I'll count Finland's yes.
