Tytorian CTO representative Blake Stevenson took the floor first. "The Kingdom of Tytor wishes to express its opposition to this proposed resolution," he said, "There is, admittedly, much that can be said in favor of dissolution, but there is also much that can be said against the same. The Commonwealth Treaty Organization, though presently of little consequence in the world, has the potential to become a powerful force for world peace, a symbol of international unity in troubled times, and a beacon of hope for those who suffer under whatever burden they may be called to bear. Therefore, the Kingdom of Tytor believes that the answer to the Commonwealth Treaty Organization's current lack of efficacy is not dissolution, but reformation. If this resolution does not pass, it is the intention of the Kingdom of Tytor to propose measures intended to bring the Commonwealth Treaty Organization back to its intended purpose. Let us not act to destroy the progress that has been made on the past, but rather let us build upon what we have, so that this Organization, and the world it was meant to serve, may be better for it."
OOC: I fully recognize the frustrations people have with the CTO. It's a great idea that has never really worked the way it was meant to. But the sentiments expressed here by Stevenson are my own; we can take what we have and make it better, without need for throwing it all away. In fact, I kind of resent this resolution proposal; as Achkaerin is not, last I checked, a CTO member, there is little cause for anyone associated with Achkaerin to be proposing the CTO's dissolution. In fact, I would argue that each of the crises mentioned on Discord as things the CTO has done nothing about are things the Head of the Commonwealth Civil Service and the Commonwealth Counsel could be submitting resolutions on, especially if the very dissolution of the Organization is a valid subject for action by the same. So, yeah, let's not get carried away here. Sure, I'll admit that I've not been the best at remembering the CTO, but it doesn't help things for everyone who does remember it to do nothing but complain instead of working to build involvement. We have the beginnings of a great thing here; let's stop wasting it.
