True, it shows real commitment. Still, considering that their original demand was “We want to have the right to reject any new federation member”, this seems a bit insignificant. It’s more of a gesture than anything, at least to me.

I think their initial demands were ludicrous because the president had no real intention of rejoining the Federation - it was all theatre.

  But then why come in the first place? Only to return to Betazed to say “the Federation is still the same and doesn’t want us!” After failed negotiations?

    I guess as a response to the youth movement that was pressuring him to negotiate. This sort of thing is unfortunately common IRL.
