THE PRINCIPALITY OF REMLASIA considers the original text and the proposed revised text within Bill A2002.02 to be legally equivalent, as we have interpreted that it has never been mandatory for the Chair to undertake the action required under the original text of the Article because of the inclusion of this clause: "unless the Chair decides otherwise".

Unless there has been a previous court case on this matter ruling to the contrary, we consider it to be entirely lawful for the Chair not to archive an inactive amendment under the original text of the Article.

As the amendment is, in our view, legally equivalent, we will be voting AGAINST it.
