GA22 AGENDA: International General Council

 

Notice of Proposal to Amend the Bylaws of the International General Council and the International General Assembly: In accordance with the Minutes of the International General Assembly, the following amendments related to the Bylaws of the Church of God are being recommended by the International Executive Council to the 2022 International General Council for
consideration.

PREVIOUS NOTICE 

Bylaws Amendment #1 

Motions Committee – Date of Submission

RATIONALE: Historically, the International General Council met Monday through Friday with the General  Assembly session occurring on Saturday. Under that schedule, new business from the floor had  to be submitted to the motions committee by the third day (Wednesday) of the International
General Council.

Under the current format, the International General Council meets Tuesday through Friday
morning with the General Assembly session being held on Friday afternoon. Since new business  can currently be submitted to the motions committee up until 2:00 p.m. on the third day
(Thursday) of the International General Council, sufficient time is not currently given to
“receive, classify, clarify, eliminate duplication, and dispatch for placement on the agenda
following the completion of the printed agenda” items that may be submitted to the motions
committee, and for consideration of those items by the International General Council.

We recommend:

That we amend page 62, S2. BYLAWS OF THE CHURCH OF GOD, Article VI, 
Governing Bodies, 2. INTERNATIONAL GENERAL COUNCIL, Agenda, paragraph 4,   by striking the word third and inserting the word second.  

So as to read:

4. Any new business shall be presented to the chairman of the motions committee,  which committee shall receive, classify, clarify, eliminate duplication, and dispatch  for placement on the agenda following the completion of the printed agenda. Any new  business presented to the motions committee shall be presented in typewritten form  not later than 2 p.m. of the second day of the International General Council.
