Motions

If there are any major topics your LDC wish to debate or are causing concern to GDPs, please submit them in the form of a motion for inclusion in the agenda.
Motions should be unambiguous and make a clear point or specific call for action. If you would like to refer to examples of motions submitted at past Conferences, please click here. Motions that are not worded and printed clearly will be sent back to the LDC for clarification. The Conference Agenda Committee may also wish to make certain changes to a motion before it is accepted. Taking care to print motions clearly, paying attention to spelling and punctuation, will make this process run more smoothly and to a tight timetable. For guidance on how to draft a motion, please click on our Advice for Drafting Motions document.
