Once the Congress has convened, all proposals should be submitted in writing. The completed peace settlement must receive at least 6 votes to be adopted. Be prepared to rank the relative national consciousness of each nationality. You are strongly encouraged to submit proposals to other individuals before the Congress via E-Mail. This will permit you to prepare your position when the Congress actually convenes.
