I described that process before, and you even agreed to it: Produce  
a draft text and a list of ten supporters until May 10, for a  
resolution which deals with perspectives blah blah blah, and you'll  
be on the ballot.  If there's no resolution which fulfills that  
condition, there's no vote.

I have also described numerous times what kind of resolution I'd  
personally find reasonable.

You are now free to either produce a radical text like what your  
original motion suggested, or you could try to take into account the 
suggestions made by some on this list, and produce a reasonable text 
which does not ruin the GA's credibility.  Finally, you could  
respect the fact that there is certainly no consensus on what the GA 
should say, and refrain from further asking for a vote in such a 
situation.

Obviously, I believe that the first of these possibilities is the  
worst one, and that the last one is still best.
