Procedures for Handling Resolutions

WHEREAS Rule 26 of UBCMs Procedures for Handling Resolutions is clearly intended to provide for the greatest possible discussion of resolutions by grouping those covering matters not considered as greatly controversial into a block; AND WHEREAS by Rule 27i the sponsor of a resolution included for consideration as a block may request that it be removed and entered for discussion, thus defeating the intended purpose of Rule 26: THEREFORE BE IT RESOLVED that Rule 27i of the UBCM Conference Rules and Procedures for Handling Resolutions be amended to provide that only those who would speak in opposition or propose an amendment to a resolution may request that it be removed from the B1 block and entered for individual consideration; AND BE IT FURTHER RESOLVED that this change take effect immediately at the 2007 UBCM Convention.
