INVITATION TO CSIH MEMBERS
TO SUBMIT RESOLUTIONS FOR CONSIDERATION AT
THE ANNUAL GENERAL MEETING 2005
To be held: Monday, November 7th, 2005 (Ottawa, Canada)


The CSIH Office must receive all proposed resolutions by 5:00 p.m.
(Eastern) Friday, October 28th, 2005.  All such proposed resolutions must
be considered by the CSIH Resolutions Review Committee; if accepted for
presentation to the Annual General Meeting, they will be circulated to
members prior to the Annual General Meeting via Synergy On-Line.

It is possible for members to present recommendations for action in the
form of motions under New Business at the Annual General Meeting.

Information about and directions for the submission of resolutions are as
follows:

1.  DEFINITIONS:

a.  MOTION - A motion directs the Society to take action; it is debated
and voted upon at a duly constituted meeting of the Society or a part
thereof.  A motion must be relevant and affirmative; the proposed action
must be within the scope of the meeting.

b.  RESOLUTION - A resolution is a motion that has been submitted to the
Society and circulated to its members according to Society policies on
proposed resolutions, has been admitted and opened for debate at a general
meeting, and has received an affirmative vote.  The sections of the
resolution that are voted on are those sections beginning "be it
resolved".

2.  PROCEDURE FOR SUBMISSION:

a.  All proposed resolutions must be submitted to the Society by two
members in good standing of the Society.

b.  Resolution submissions must include the name, address, telephone (both
business and home) and fax numbers, and signatures of both the mover and
seconder.  One of these persons must be identified as the contact person.
All proposed resolutions must be accompanied, if necessary to understand
the resolution, by sufficient supporting documentation to facilitate
review of the Resolutions Review Committee and debate at a general meeting
of the Society.

c.  The CSIH office must receive all proposed resolutions by 5:00 p.m.
(Eastern) Friday, October 28th, 2005.

3.  REVIEW AND EVALUATION PROCESS:

a.  All proposed resolutions will be considered by the CSIH Resolutions
Review Committee and the Committee will decide whether or not the
submitted resolutions will be accepted in light of Wainberg's Rules of
Order** for presentation to the members attending the general meeting of
the Society.

b.  Proposers of resolutions will be notified of the CSIH Resolutions
Review Committee's decision.
		The options are as follows:

i.  the resolution has been accepted and will be brought to the general
meeting;

ii.  the resolution has not been accepted.  The Committee will identify
clearly the reasons for non-acceptance as follows:

a.  it is not within the jurisdiction** of the general meeting of CSIH;

b.  it is not accepted in its present form.  The Committee will advise the
proposers on the requirements for acceptance.  The relevant Rules of Order
will be provided to the proposers for information.

c.  Motions for action from the floor to be presented at a general meeting
must be submitted to the Chairpersons of the Society 24 hours prior to the
general meeting.  The Chairpersons will inform the proposers of the
motions concerning acceptance of the motions.  Only in the case of an
emergency will the Chairpersons waive the 24 hours requirement.

4.  ANNUAL GENERAL MEETING PROCESS:

a.  All proposed resolutions accepted for presentation to a general
meeting of the Society will be distributed to the members of the Society
prior to the general meeting by Synergy On-Line.

b.  A proposed resolution will not be presented at a general meeting of
the Society unless the Chairperson has been provided with the name of the
individual who will speak to the proposed position paper/resolution.

c.  Copies of all proposed resolutions will be available at the general
meeting of the Society.

d.  The results of debate on resolutions at the general meeting of the
Association will be published in Synergy On-Line.

** Wainberg's Rules of Order state that the Committee can reject
resolutions if they are not consistent with the objectives of the Society,
if they do not involve action that needs to be taken, and if the
resolutions are not relevant or have been presented in a similar manner
before at a general meeting of the Society.
