Copies of the revised study committee reports are sent to each Wording Committee member for review. Copies of the revised reports are distributed to Topic Selection Meeting delegates prior to the August meeting. Wording Committee members chair subcommittees which meet in the afternoon of the first day of the Topic Selection Meeting. All delegates are assigned to Marshall subcommittees. During these subcommittee meetings, study committee chairpersons have an opportunity to thoroughly explain and discuss their study committee reports.
Delegates have an opportunity to ask questions and suggest possible revisions.
Wording Committee co-chairpersons have the responsibility of conducting these subcommittee meetings and reporting the results to the entire Wording Committee. During the morning of the second day, Wording Committee members report on the discussions from the Marshall subcommittees and study committee report authors get three to five minutes to explain and answer questions. During the afternoon and early evening of the second day, Wording Committee members assemble to meet with each study committee chairperson. A schedule is posted which allows approximately 20-30 minutes per topic. All interested attendees are invited to participate in these meetings.
