Unless I am mistaken, therse is not even a Convention yet ~checks wiki~ The Articles of Convention were signed in Floating Island Con in summer 2009, and the Treaty of Kandor will not be until March 2010, so he will have to find his own help, or learn how to do it himself.My first pass at a time-line for the 'Arthur' stories put this one at the start of December 2009.
Well, if you even get the interest for a political fic, I can see Arthur settign himself as one of the driving forces behind the Articles and/or the Treaty,all for the protection of his creations.
So, Arthur hasn't had anything directly to do with The Articles.
But, I wouldn't put it past 'Angel' Sarah to have been involved, on some level. She'd really enjoy that sort of thing.
I could see Arthur being involved in the Treaty of Kandor, the bits to do with non-homo sapiens rights as persons, anyhow. Things like Turing Tests, maybe held in physically isolated Faraday Cages (with precautions against FTL communications, when that becomes an issue). Need to make sure you're testing who you think you are...
