Complete Proposal Guidelines

All proposals should have the following sections to facilitate consideration at a state committee meeting or state convention:

Title: A clear concise title that encapsulates the issue(s) being addressed
Sponsors: A list of the sponsors of the proposal as required by our rules and at least one name listed as manager who is responsible for making sure the final version of the proposal, if adopted, is checked with the minutes taker and then posted to the adopted proposal blog.
Contact info for the sponsors: email or phone for at least the manager if not the remaining sponsors.
Working Committee or Committees that have vetted the proposal: a list of all the working committees that have vetted the proposal before it is addressed.
Background: some text that gives the background of the motives for why this proposal is being presented.
Summary: some text that gives a short summary of what the proposal does.
Proposal: the actual text of the proposal that will be decided upon – the “what” of the proposal.
Budget Impact: the affect on the party’s budget, if any, where it may add a budget item or specify from which budget item any spending the proposal requires – also a part of the actual text of the proposal that will be decided on and as such can be included as part of the Proposal section or broken out for clarity.
Implementation: who, when, where and how are spelled out – also a part of the actual text of the proposal that will be decided on and as such can be included as part of the Proposal section or broken out for clarity. This should include, if any, empowerment granted by the decision making body to the implementers to make what types of decisions by themselves or what decisions must come back to a decision making body.
