Second Draft of the Treaty of Curacao

[beander2]

*****GuildComm Activated*****

FROM: Peter Barrington, GM
RE: Treaty of Curacao

Thank you for the opportunity to comment on this document. We are pleased with the language thus far, though we would request the addition of several points:

All references to our organization should read "Miners" rather than "Mining."

Article I, Clause 4 - The Independent Miners Guild should have veto rights over policies affecting Magellan, given that we, and neither BAF nor LN, have a base there. I would include the same for OSC in Cortez.

Article II, Clause 3 - Any LN or BAF vessel found having docked at Freeport 4 without authorization from IMG or not under emergency circumstances will be fined 250,000 credits payable to any official IMG vessel.

Article III, Clause 1 - Any damage to Freeport 4 or IMG vessels by LN or BAF forces violating this policy will require suitable reparation from the organization of the respective violator.

Article III, Clause 6 - Under no circumstances are the natural resources of Magellan or Cortez to be nationalized by either the Bretonian or Liberty governments.

Also, there should be some mechanism for future amendment by signing parties.


At the moment, these are the additions we propose. We will continue our consideration of the Treaty and notify you if we have further comment.

Sincerely yours,

Peter Barrington
Guild Master
Independent Miners Guild
