In order for this arbitration to be successful the following points must be enacted immediately.
 
1)  The parties directly involved in this arbitration are those who are directly involved in conflict with the Draconis Combine as of the establishment of the Terran sponsered cease fire of July 1, 3026.  These nations include the Draconis Combine, Lyran Commonwealth, the Federated Suns, and the Oberon Confederation.
 
The Terran Hegemony is not currently at conflict with any of the parties as they have signed individual agreements with the Federated Suns and Lyran Commonwealth, have no common border at this time with the Draconis Combine, or the Oberon Confederation.  As such they are excluded from this arbitration.
 
If there are additional parties, or significant objections to this list of parties, please send them for our consideration immediately.
 
2)  In order to ensure the success of this arbitration, there must be consequences to violations.  Each nation shall
 - sign over their Starlight Broadcasting voting rights in specific regards to any aspect of this conflict into the hands of the Arbitration Committee.  These rights are to be used to enforce an interdiction upon violators. 
 -either 5% GDP or 5% of the nations regular forces EST in mercenary contracts
 - any other options and suggestions will be considered.
 
3)  The duration of the terms shall be determined by the Arbitration Committee after deliberation, however the initial timeframe will be a 5 year period of no military offensive actions mounted by the involved parties including raiding.  Antipiracy efforts against pirate organizations are not included at the sole determination of the Arbitration Committee.
 
4)  As of July 1, 3026 the Cease Fire order shall be upheld with the following stipulations.
All offensive operations to cease. 
All military forces on any contested planets are advised to extract themselves from the surface and hold at the listed Jump Point of the system.  (July Orders for all forces on constested worlds- HOLD).  NO other troop movements are advised. Subsequent troop movements and repairs will be determined by the Arbitration Committee and permitted the following month on a very restricted and regimented schedule.

5) The Arbitration Committee will hear the case and evidence provided by each nation for their ownership of all worlds that have changed hands since the beginning of the conflict between the Draconis Combine, Lyran Commonwealth, Federated Suns, and Oberon Confederation.  After this evidence is presented, the Arbitration Committee will review and determine  the final disposition of each system and any appropriate repairations.
 
 - in the event that these items are not completed to the committee's satisfaction by all parties by July 15th, 3026, a full interdiction of the violating party, returning all military forces to the control of the other parties and and removal of all constraints holding the combined militaries from military action will be enacted.
