Resolutions

The system by which the Free Spirit Connection reviews and passes resolutions starts with endorsement by individuals and/or groups within the Connection, followed by review and passage by the Triennial Assembly, and final ratification by the Regional Conferences of the Connection.
== Endorsements ==
A proposed resolution must receive two hundred "endorsement points" to be put on the agenda of the upcoming Triennial Assembly. These points are determined as followed:
* One point for endorsement by an individual Connection member.
* Ten points for endorsement by a Local Gathering Council of 3-5 members.
* Twenty points for endorsement by a Local Gathering Council of 7-9 members.
* Forty points for endorsement by a Regional Conference.
* Eighty points for endorsement by the Stewards.
== The Triennial Assembly ==
Once a proposed resolution has received 200 or more endorsement points, it is put on the agenda for the upcoming Triennial Assembly for review, deliberation and vote by its delegates.
== Final review and ratification ==
After three-fifths majority passage by the Triennial Assembly, the proposed resolution is sent to the Local Gatherings for review, then to the Regional Conferences for final ratification by three-fifths of all RCs before the next Triennial Assembly.
== Bylaw amendments ==
Amendments to the Connection's bylaws follow the same system of endorsement, review and ratification, only they are required to receive 350 endorsement points and a three-fourths majority of votes in the Triennial Assembly and among Regional Conferences.
