- Alfa Duerra
- Laura Oates
- Findar Patel
- Lynn Firerose

Opposition
Critics of the New Guinea Constitution complain often that it is too "long winded", or that it is too difficult to read, understand and absorb. The constitution of New Guinea is quite large, much larger than most similar documents in the micronational world or even among the member nations of the UN. All agree that the document is large, taking about three months to write, and perhaps a is also a bit complicated.
- "My God-- What did we do?" -Durwell Denieth
- "Nobody is going to read this whole thing." -Archangel
- "My eyes hurt!" -TejasDragon
- "It's still not even close to being small enough." -Unknown
- "You are the most longwinded person I've ever met." -Zachary Tunney
Other negative comments were made by each of the authors, and were too numerous to record. In the end, the document was unanimously passed however.
