Resolutions Separate from Reports
All policy matters brought before the WSMA House of Delegates for a vote
to be submitted in the form of a resolution, separate from committee
reports, with supporting arguments presented in “Whereas” statements and
proposed new policies presented as “Resolved” statements (Res B-1, A-18)
The authors or groups introducing a resolution to the WSMA House of
Delegates must be clearly identified. (Res B-1, A-18)
Committee reports are considered informational items and are designed to
inform rather than change WSMA policy, with the exception of the Bylaws
Committee reports, whose purpose is to propose amendments. (Res B-1, A-18)
