Background

Our rules and procedures require that the Platform Committee submit all proposed platform amendments to the steering committee no later than February 1 of even years. The steering committee has not received this cycle's proposed amendments. Instead of waiting two years to address the proposed amendments, we recommend an adjustment to the timeline for 2022 only. This will allow platform amendments to be considered during the 2022 calendar year.

Proposal

Replace section 12-1.7 of the rules and procedures with the language below for the 2022 calendar year:

Proposed Language
12-1.7 All platform amendment proposals must be submitted to the GPUS Steering Committee by the GPUS Platform Committee co-chairs on behalf of the committee no later than June 1 of 2022. The Steering Committee must either approve and submit the proposed platform amendments to the GPUS National Committee for their consideration or approve findings that state how the proposal does not comply and how it can be corrected by July 1 of 2022.

Resources

This language will sunset and revert to the current language on January 1, 2023.

The Steering Committee must either approve and submit the proposed platform amendments to the GPUS National Committee for their consideration or approve findings that state how the proposal does not comply and how it can be corrected by March 1.
