Discretion
We are coming into resolution season again and I'd just like to remind everyone of the importance of each WI taking a decision on whether their delegate has "discretion" when actually sitting in the Hall in Brighton.
For safety's sake I would take a vote on whether the delegate has discretion or not on each resolution and MAKE SURE this information is communicated to the delegate along with the result of the resolution vote.
Discretion allows the delegate permission to change the vote based on the arguments heard from the expert speakers and the comments made in the hall at the AGM. These arguments are likely to be the most comprehensive, uptodate and well researched arguments members will hear.
Don't forget the delegate has to report back to the WI on the AGM and if she changes the vote an explanation would be included in the report.
