A brief summary of supporting information for the motion is useful for those who may not be familiar with the issue.
Items for discussion not requiring a motion may also be accepted, and will be on the agenda following motions.
In order for publication to the NSS membership for consideration prior to convention, issues should be received by May 1, 2006. Issues will be published to I/Os through the email and paper mailing system used by the I/O committee. This does not preclude accepting issues later.
If you have an issue you would like to have considered by COG, bring it up to your internal organization; grotto, region, survey, or section.
After May 1 items will be accepted by the Congress Of Grottos chairman for inclusion in the agenda with the understanding that there may not be time for publication to the membership prior to convention. Items are generally on the agenda in the order received. Items may be accepted from the floor as time permits.
