Me too. It sounds more complicated to me as it actually is.

New rule from #12 Northern Irish singers can take part for either Ireland or The United Kingdom, however if Ireland (me) wants to send one, I must seek permission from the British player (Matt) to make sure he wasn't planning to send them before me. However, I can assure you I won't be sending many artists from Northern Ireland, as my own country has a pretty big music scene, so UK is more likely to send Northern Irish singers.

BORROWING RULES TO BE RE-VAMPED I have been thinking about this for some time now, regarding borrowing rules for countries in WVSC. And although Dusan is in Sarajevo right now, I can't speak with him until 25th but this is the first thing i'll bring up.
This is what I propose will change, and if me and Dusan agree, a change is certain.
First of all, Cyprus and Greece: Now, the two countries have a lot of cultural similarities, use the same language and also have a similar music industry. Not to mention that some singers are Greek-Cypriot. However, taking this will be an advantage for Cyprus and maybe would not use it's native acts (there is Cypriot singers.. + no offense to the Cypriot users we've had) - So; Cyprus can borrow from Greece once in every 3 editions. This is very fair, in my opinion. For example: #12 - Cyprus can send a Greek singer #13-#15 - Cyprus has to send Cypriot singers. #16 - Cyprus can send a Greek singer.
However this is yet to be confirmed; but it's my proposal.
Secondly, the micro-states. We don't have anyone from the microstates of Europe at present but we did before, San Marino. That player sent 1 Sammarinese singer and an Italian group. This is allowed. Borrowing regions could be changed to suit the liking of everyone..
My proposal:
- Luxembourg can only from Belgium; however Luxembourg has many singers of it's own, so I advise them not to borrow at all. - Andorra from Catalonia region of Spain. In it's history, Andorra has sent Catalan songs mainly, which is their national language. However it does border the Catalonia region. Otherwise, acts from own territory can be used. - Monaco stays with France - Liechtenstein could borrow from regions in Switzerland or Austria; these will be proposed. - San Marino from Italy. However due to the unlikelyhood of these countries being seen at WVSC anytime soon, I guess you can skip that bit! These are going to be discussed, but the major change which could happen is Cyprus and Greece.

Could Taiwan take part?Although nothing has been discussed on the situation between me and Dusan, a player requested that he switches to Taiwan as he has roots there. However, as we know, Taiwan is not allowed to take part in WVSC at present, and hasn't been since the 1st edition. When this was told, the player did point out possible reasons for a Taiwanese participation, of which, I took into account. Now, me and Dusan are yet to discuss this (maybe today) but if successful, Taiwan will be allowed from #12, only unless the participation is failure. But, when will this be found out? In the coming days or week!Although we don't go into detail with our partner contest a lot, WWWSC has had Taiwan, and I personally believe that they should be allowed. The rule was made when Naglis administrated, but there may be a change, in this sense.(Thread has been unlocked, discussions are now possible)

Why not? It's an independent country.

Why not? It's an independent country. People's opinions can be different ^^ I think, when Naglis made this, he didn't support an independent Taiwan.. but, I do. If it doesn't anger players such as China, well then why not? The reason Kosovo had to leave was because Serbia made a complaint, and I think was even thinking about withdrawing.. there we had to do something.. and if we allowed Palestine, Israel could have difficulty. Sooo yeah.. it's really only what opinions people have

Okay in that case I think the other person should also tell his opinion (but of course not the final decision).

I'm Indonesian but have Chinese root, so that's how I represent China.

Well everyone, from #12 onwards we'll welcome into the contest Taiwan! And as of now, it is off the disputed territories list and is allowed to compete in Worldvision Song Contest.
