<FONT SIZE="4"><FONT FACE="Calibri, Verdana, Helvetica, Arial"><SPAN STYLE='font-size:11pt'>Hi, all (especially Susan, Debra, Eileen, Sugie and Bill)--<BR>
<BR>
Below are Barbara’s notes regarding the resolution in progress (Social Justice). Some wonderful advice and support from both Barbara herself (who is on the CCCC Resolutions Committee) and Erika Lindemann. <BR>
<BR>
I’m sending this to the entire Executive Board because we’ll all be involved at some level, but we thought this would be particularly useful to the folks serving on this Ad Hoc Committee for the Social Justice Policy in progress. <BR>
<BR>
Thanks!<BR>
Shannon<BR>

Notes from Resolutions Committee<BR>
And Advice from Erika Lindemann<BR>
March 12, 2009<BR>
<BR>
5 people must sign the resolution<BR>
A resolution coming from the CBW Executive Committee would be good because it would be from an identifiable group of individuals. <BR>
A resolution coming from the full CBW membership would not be advisable because it involves too many people. <BR>
<BR>
1. Check all resolutions on CCCC web page for similar resolutions or resolutions with implications for the new resolution (which might be mentioned in the body of the resolution). <BR>
<BR>
2. Check all position statements on CCCC Web page for similar statements or implications for this resolution (which might be mentioned in the body of the resolution). <BR>
<BR>
3. Check all resolutions on NCTE web page for similar resolutions (which might be referred to in this new resolution). <BR>
<BR>
4. A position statement has more weight so we might want to aim for that. In the resolution, we can propose that a position statement be drafted. <BR>
<BR>
5. Deadline for resolutions will be posted on CCCC web page and published in CCC December issue. <BR>
<BR>
6. We can contact Erika Lindemann for advice in drafting the resolution. <BR>
<BR>
7. All resolutions must come to the resolutions committee first and be discussed by that body. The committee must forward all resolutions to the Annual Business Meeting. <BR>
The committee can edit the resolution but not change its spirit. '<BR>
<BR>
8. If we don't make the deadline for proposing a resolution, we could propose a sense of the house motion. Only one person has to sign this but it does has to be presented prior to the Annual Business Meeting sometime and there is a protocol for this. <BR>
