ALA Council

Hello Councilors!

I think we had a positive reaction to this thing, so I think we should give it another shot! Here's the original explanation if you need to get up to speed:

I'd like to propose we try something a bit different in preparation for Annual 2024 : let's try to bring back the spirit of Council Forum while hopefully avoiding some of its pitfalls. 

If you have a resolution you're working on or have a completed resolution that you're going to move at the Annual proceedings, please post it here. We can talk about it, offer suggestions, shop it around to committees if needed, get advice, etc. It's my hope that using this asynchronous forum in the weeks leading up to Council convening and voting can increase our awareness of what's coming up while giving as many people as possible an opportunity to participate in the forum environment.

Remember: you can't fight in here, this is the War Room!
