Introduction
This topic contains several templates for Speakers and Members of the World Forum alike in order to propose resolution drafts and conduct elections. The topic shall also serve as a collection of all current versions of passed resolutions.
More information on the history of the resolutions, the current World Forum administration or its members and observers or the membership in WF sub-organisations can be found on TSPedia.
Speaker Election Procedure
Phase 1 - Nominations
Phase 1 of a Speaker election lasts seven days and is ought to be opened by the incumbent Speaker, when they are 11 months into their term. In this phase, member nations can do four things:
Speaker nominations
Any member can nominate any other member, except for itself, for the position of Speaker. A nominee must accept or decline the nomination within the deadline. Not doing so will lead automatically to an assumed refusal of the nomination and thus to the member being disregarded for Phase 2 of the election.
Committee affiliations
During every Speaker election, members of the World Forum may change their affiliation to the Committees of the World Forum. If a member does not post any information to this bullet point, it is assumed the committee affiliation shall not change.
Justice nominations
Each member, who is not represented by a judge yet or who desires to replace their judge at the International Court (WFIC) may nominate a judge during every Speaker election. The member shall give additional information to the judge, so the other members can make an informed vote on them.
Every nation, who is represented with a judge at the WFIC and does not aim to replace their judge, must face an approval vote on the judge at every regular Speaker election. A renewed nomination or presentation of an incumbent judge is not necessary.
If a member does not appoint a judge to the WFIC, it is assumed that this nation does not intend to be represented at it for the time being.
Membership in WF affiliated organisations
The World Forum has created several sub-organisations like the International Labor and Trade Council (ILTC) or the PNA as part of the Treaty on the Prohibition of Nuclear Weapons (TPNW). Membership in those organisations is voluntary. The incumbent Speaker shall, when starting an election, provide an overview over the current WF affiliated organisations each member could join (or leave). If a member does not comment on their memberships in WF affiliated organisations, it is assumed, no changes on their memberships are wished for.
Phase 1 Template
The Speaker shall use the following template to conduct Phase 1 of the election. Stylistic changes are allowed. Each member should refrain from posting more than one post per election phase, so if a member has casted their vote and after that is nominated for the position of Speaker, they shall edit their original post and not accept their nomination through a second cast of votes. Also each roleplayer shall be encouraged to consolidate all its votes into one post and not divide up the posts of each member they are representing.
**Speaker nomination(s):**
**Do you accept your nomination (if applicable)?** [ ] Yes | [ ] No

**Background information on the nominee:**
**Committee memberships:**
**Membership in WF affiliated organisations:**
Phase 2 - Voting
Phase 2 of the Speaker elections last another 7 days following Phase 1.
It contains three elections and still the opportunity for each member to change their membership in WF-affiliated organisations. The following sub-chapters will be only about the elections. The roleplayers are asked to play fair and only cast one effective vote altogether, even if they have control over multiple World Forum members.
Speaker election
The Speaker election is a vote in the IRV system, which means that each member has one vote, in which they may rank any or all nominees, who accepted their nomination, plus the option “RON” (re-open nominations). The option receiving a majority according to IRV rules laid out in WF Resolution 1 will be styled Speaker of the Assembly. They will assume their office the moment this phase of the election has ended.
Election of the Committee Officers
The Officers of the Committees are like the Speakers of each Committee, but generally will not have that much significance in our roleplay. Only members of a Committee can become their Officer. We are generally assuming, any nation would be willing to become a Committee Officer and thus we skip the nomination phase for it. IRP another IRV vote would be necessary, but to make things less complex and tiring the Speaker is encouraged to let people vote for the Officer positions through a poll, which can be created by clicking the gear wheel in the post creator and then choosing “Build poll”.
Approval of the Justices
Each member may approve of all, any or none of the justice nominees. It might be useful to use a (multiple-choice) poll in this case too, so that members do not forget to cast their votes for justices, who have not been presented anew also.
Phase 2 Template
**Vote for the Speaker**
<small>*Please order the options x, y, z and RON from most preferred to least preferred option* </small>
**Vote for the Officers** *(only if not done through a poll)*
<small>*Please vote for each Committee you are a part of, who shall become the Officer of said Committee. You may vote for three members of the Committee, including yourself, by ranking them from most to least preferred option.
**Approval vote for the Justices** *(only if not done through a poll)*
I approve of the following judges:
[ ] All
[ ] The judges from (please list the member states, whose justices you approve of)
[ ] None
**Membership in WF affiliated organisations:**
Phase 2.1 - Election of the Deputy Speaker
Once Phase 2 has finished and a Speaker was elected, they may nominate one of the other members as their Deputy Speaker. After that member has accepted its nomination, a vote over the course of three days will be held, in which every member can vote “Aye”, “Abstain” or “Nay” to the proposed Deputy Speaker. This vote also might be best conducted through a (single-choice) poll.
