Resolution No. 18
COMMITTEE ASSIGNMENT: Resolutions
Re: Publication of Resolutions – Adopted

1	WHEREAS, the IAFF Constitution & By-Laws
2	expressly requires printing of proposed resolutions to
3	amend the Constitution & By-Laws in the IAFF’s
4	“official publication”; and
5	WHEREAS, the move of the IAFF to a quarterly
6	publication and the timing of conventions makes this
7	method of printing resolutions complex; and
8	WHEREAS, it has recently been the policy and
9	practice of the IAFF to publish online all properly-
10	submitted resolutions and amendments so that
11	members and delegates may know the proposed
12	business of each convention; therefore be it
13	RESOLVED, That Article VI, Section 2,
14	paragraph 9 be replaced with the following text:
15	“He/She shall distribute and make available
16	electronically all properly-submitted
17	convention resolutions prior to said
18	convention, and in accordance with the
19	procedure prescribed in Sections 1 and 2 of
20	Article XX.”
21	and be it further
22	RESOLVED, That the second sentence of Article
23	XX, Section 2 be replaced with the following text:
24	“All such amendments or resolutions to be
25	considered by any convention of this
26	Association (including the IAFF/Canada)
27	must be received by the General Secretary-
28	Treasurer no later than 50 days immediately
29	preceding the opening of the convention and
30	no later than 5:00 p.m. EDT of the cut-off date
31	in order that all such amendments and
32	resolutions may be distributed and made
33	available electronically to the membership
34	preceding said convention accompanied by a
35	summary statement prepared by the General
36	Secretary-Treasurer of the estimated costs
37	respecting any resolution which in his/her
38	judgment involves cost factors.”
