Call From Committee. In these cases, the National Business Chairman or presiding officer must schedule the resolution for debate and disposition at the earliest possible time. Unless a resolution is called from committee, all resolutions must go through one of the RWMCs before reaching the general assembly. The RWMC must insure all resolutions have sufficient detail and coordination to be satisfactorily implemented by the Society and do not conflict with any higher authority, unless the resolution seeks to change that authority. In deciding whether to submit a resolution to the Board of Directors or the general assembly for action, the RWMC must consider the importance and controversial nature of the resolution.
