Resolutions and Amendments
How to Submit Resolutions
-
Resolutions must be received no later than10 days before Convention (Wednesday, October 25).
-
For details on how to submit resolutions, and who can do so, see Article 8, Section 4 of the current NL NDP Constitution.
-
Submit Resolutions to info@nl.ndp.ca with the subject line "Resolutions".
-
When preparing your resolution, some rules to keep in mind:
-
Keep the “Whereas Clause” to around 50 words (whereas clauses simply set up a rationale for asking Convention to adopt a particular policy – it is not the policy itself”)
-
The “Be it Resolved” section should be as concise as possible – aim for under 100 words
-
-
Resolutions are intended to:
-
Provide input into a current or new policy
-
Ask the Party to take a specific action (i.e., develop a policy, run a campaign, etc.)
-
Have the Party make a statement on an ongoing issue, event, etc.
-
-
Any questions on resolutions, contact info@nl.ndp.ca
