Declaration of Principles
Declaration of principles concerning activities following the detection of extra-terrestrial intelligence. Passed at the General Assembly of the International Astronomical Union at Buenos Aries, Argentina, July 1991.
1. Any individual or institute believing that any sign of ETI has been detected should seek verification and confirmation before taking any further action.
2. Before making any such announcement, the discoverer should promptly notify all other observers or organizations which are parties to this Declaration. No public announcement should be made until the credibility of the report has been established. The discoverer should then inform his or her national authorities.
3. After concluding that the discovery is credible, the discoverer should inform the Control Bureau or the Astronomical Telegrams of the International Astronomical Union, and also the Secretary-General of the United Nations. Other organizations to be notified should include the Space Law, the International Telecommunications Union, and a Commission of the International Astronomical Union.
4. A confirmed detection of ETI should be disseminated promptly, openly, and widely by the mass media.
5. All data necessary for confirmation of detection should be made available to the international scientific community.
6. All data relating to the discovery should be recorded and stored permanently in a form which will make it available for future analysis.
7. If the evidence of detection is in the form of electromagnetic signals, the parties to this declaration should seek international agreement to protect the appropriate frequencies. Immediate notice should be sent to the General-Secretary of the International Telecommunications Union in Geneva.
8. No response to a signal or other evidence of ETI should be sent until appropriate consultations have taken place.
9. The SETI (Search for Extra-Terrestrial Intelligence) Committee of the International Academy of Astronautics, in coordination with Commission 51 of the International Astronomical Union, will conduct a continuing review of [page cut off from here foreward].

TB (to orchestra and chorus) No, no no No NO! Wrong one! It's supposed to be this one!
*chorus and orchestra begin familiar tune; Where have you heard it before?*
O Fortuna
velut luna
statu variabilis,
semper crescis
aut decrescis;
vita detestabilis
nunc obdurat
et tunc curat
ludo mentis aciem
egestatem
potestatem
dissolvit ut glaciem.

Sors immanis
et inanis,
rota tu volubilis,
status malus,
vana salus
semper dissolubilis,
obumbrata
et velata
michi quoque niteris;
nunc per ludum
dorsum nudum
fero tui sceleris.

Sors salutis
et virtutis
michi nunc contraria,
est affectus
et defectus
semper in angaria.
Hac in hora
sine mora
corde pulsum tangite;
quod per sortem
sternit fortem,
mecum omnes plangite!

LOL! Neither do I. I could translate it. Ya know, it's the most famous classical composition, the one everyone loves!

"O Fortuna" is from Carmina Burana by Carl Orff. It is also the theme for the greatest Arthurian legend movie of all-time - Excalibur.

*sings O Fortuna*

200th post! (this username, a-haha)

Sing LOUD and PROUD!!!

Beauing, belling, dancing, drinking,
Breaking windows, cursing, sinking
Every raking, never thinking,
Live the Rakes of Mallow,

Then to end this raking life,
They get sober, take a wife,
Ever after live in strife,
And wish again for Mallow.

Oops, I'm not Irish. Oh well.
