Whereas Sections 23a and d of the UBCM Bylaws provide that voting delegates present at the Annual Convention may move to group resolutions for consideration as a block; with voting delegates enabled, under certain conditions, to move removal of a resolution from the block for separate consideration and debate; And whereas the original motion to group resolutions for consideration as a block requires only a simple majority to pass, but a motion to remove a resolution from a block for separate consideration and debate must receive a three-fifths 60 per cent vote to pass: Therefore be it resolved that UBCM simplify the rules of procedure in the UBCM Bylaws by amending Section 23d to remove the requirement for a three-fifths 60 per cent vote in order to remove a resolution from a block for separate consideration and debate, with such an amendment having the effect of allowing removal from a block by way of a simple majority.
