Resolutions
Our original desire
to keep this page updated on the status of resolutions has proved ahead of its time and
too much work for our single web coordinator. This was a logistics issue -- resolutions
existed in various parts in different rooms and under different sessional committee
jurisdictions. When passed, synod organizers spent time checking it against which
floor amendments were carried and ensuring the text was accurate.
Here was the text of most resolutions presented to members in their convening circular.
