[nagdu] nagdu's resolution about gdb

[Tracy Carcione]

Michael, condemn and deplore!  Oh yeah!I forget.  Does the resolution now go 
into the pot with all the other resolutions, to be passed, or not, by the 
whole convention?

Rebecca, NFB resolutions work like this:  Anyone can write a resolution and 
bring it to the Resolutions Committee, or the appropriate division to bring 
to the committee.  Then the resolution is voted up or down by the committee. 
If it passes, it goes to the whole convention, where again it can pass or 
not.  If it passes, it becomes part of the policy of the NFB, and is sent to 
the organization it affects, in this case, GDB.  It won't make GDB do 
anything, but it does show powerfully what blind people think about what 
they are doing, and it empowers our leadership and members to work on making 
things happen.

I love resolutions.  It's not a perfect system, but it is a way for members 
to address problems.  And some resolutions spark a lot of spirited 
discussion through convention week.
Tracy
