Every resolution and amendment a delegate submits at the kiosk comes to the review queue first. There the House Resolutions Committee reads it, settles the wording with the delegate, and decides whether it goes forward. Nothing reaches the agenda until the committee approves it.
What each status means is under The screen, explained.
The delegate is told, and the submission moves to Resolutions, ready for the Steering Committee to place.
The delegate gets your message by email, with a link to answer. The submission waits as Awaiting Reply, and their answer appears in the conversation.
The delegate can accept your wording or answer with their own. Either way it comes back to the committee, which still decides.
A reopened submission goes back to the committee for another review.
Without the tick, the message is emailed to the delegate.
The queue, a submission opened beside it, the conversation with the delegate, and each decision.
The committee’s turn. Nobody has answered the delegate yet.
The delegate’s turn. The committee asked for a change and waits for an answer.
The committee’s turn again. The delegate answered with other wording.
Accepted. It is in Resolutions, ready to be placed on the agenda.
Declined, with a reason. It can be reopened.
The queue holds every submission for the meeting, newest first. What needs the committee comes before what is settled.
Each card shows the delegate and their unit, the opening of the text, the item number and the status. Submissions waiting on the committee sit under Needs action, and the rest under Settled. The panel on the right counts what is waiting.
The buttons above the list show one status at a time: here Awaiting, the two submissions whose delegates have yet to answer. All brings everything back, and Search narrows the list by what you type.
A submission opens beside the list, so the committee can move down the queue without losing its place.
Who moved and seconded it and their units, how and when it came in, the text, the conversation with the delegate, and the decisions under Decide.
An amendment names the item it amends and marks its change in the text: here a three-year partnership becomes five years. The original and proposed wording sit side by side, followed by the motion as it would be moved.
Some submissions need a word changed or a question answered before they are ready. Everything said about a submission stays with it.
A message to the delegate is emailed to them, with a link to answer, and their reply appears here. Ticking Internal note (staff only) writes a note only the committee sees, such as this one on Leah Sinclair’s counter-proposal.
Request Changes asks the delegate to revise the submission themselves. The message goes to them with a link to answer, and the submission waits as Awaiting Reply.
Edit & Send lets the committee change the wording itself and send it to the delegate, who can accept it or answer with other wording. The message says what changed and why.
Each decision is sent to the delegate. An approved submission moves to Resolutions, ready for the Steering Committee to place on the agenda.
Approve assigns the item number, which can be changed if it stays unique in the meeting, and can carry a note to the delegate.
The submission moves to Settled and reads “Approved as R-44 — now in Resolutions”. One fewer needs the committee’s review.
Reject needs a reason, which is sent to the delegate.
A rejected submission stays in the queue under Rejected. Reopen sends it back for another review.
