Summary

The General Council approved an amended motion requiring the Constitution Committee to return within one year with a final draft that integrates the original and Stanford drafts, and to mail and post all materials no later than 60 days from March 21, 2027.

Delegates approved an amended motion that sets firm deadlines for the Constitution Committee's next steps. The amendment, introduced by Joey Giveswater, required that "this current Constitution Committee come back no more than one year to bring back the final draft worked out from the original draft and the Stanford draft. All materials must be mailed out and, on the website, no later than 60 days from March 21, 2027." The motion was seconded by Heather Dismuke and, after a call for the question by Virginia Mouse, recorded in the minutes as passing with Yes 69, No 3, Abstain 0 (Total 72).

The minutes record the committee's responsibilities would include producing a single final draft that resolves differences between the committee's original draft and the Stanford draft and ensuring the final materials are distributed by mail and posted online by the stated deadline. The minutes do not specify the format of the mailed materials or the specific website URL beyond the general requirement to post the materials.
