A resolution is a statement representing the will of the LCDC membership on a particular issue. The process is as follows:
An LCDC member introduces a draft resolution at the monthly LCDC membership meeting. A member presenting a resolution should notify the LCDC Secretary in advance of the meeting to ensure the draft resolution is included with the agenda.
The Issues Committee reviews and edits the draft resolution, until a final version is agreed upon.
The final version is presented at the next LCDC monthly membership meeting, where the general membership will vote on whether to adopt the resolution.
The resolution is uploaded to the LCDC website and may be circulated to the press.
