The Role of the Resolutions Committee
The Resolutions Committee oversees the call for resolutions to Conference
and Council, facilitates the resolutions process at Meetings, and encourages
IFUW and national affiliate action on resolutions between Conferences
The Committee screens all proposed resolutions to see that they are in line
with IFUW purposes and priorities, and checks for duplication. If more
than one national affiliate has submitted resolutions on the same issue,
the Committee confers with the parties and encourages them to submit a
joint resolution. The Committee also checks for conformity in wording
and structure and prepares final versions of resolutions for circulation
to national affiliates.
At Conference the Resolutions Committee assists in the preparation of amendments
and consensual texts, works with IFUW staff to prepare a consensus document
for distribution to delegates prior to the final voting session, and assists
with translation.
In between Conferences the Committee monitors follow-up action on resolutions
taken by national federations and associations and, when necessary, issues
special action alerts.
