Resolution No. 2 – Delegate Credentials

1	WHEREAS, the IAFF Constitution & By-Laws
2	expressly requires each elected delegate and alternate
3	delegate to establish his/her identity by presenting to
4	the Credentials Committee the “original form of
5	official credential signed by the president and
6	secretary-treasurer of the local union or other
7	subordinate body of which he/she is a delegate”; and

12	WHEREAS, the IAFF has instituted an online
13	credential/registration process that utilizes an
14	electronic signature and does not require the use of
15	paper credentials; therefore be it
16	RESOLVED, That the first sentence of Article IV,
17	Section 5, paragraph 1 be replaced with the following
18	text:
19	“Each elected delegate and alternate delegate
20	shall establish his/her identity and right to a
