Platform and Resolutions Committee

The Platform & Resolutions Committee (PRC) handles all proposed resolutions of the JCDP. The committee develops a face sheet and outline for proposed JCDP resolutions and makes them available to all PCPs. Any member of the Central Committee may propose a resolution. Resolutions must be submitted to the PRC Chair and JCDP Chair a minimum of 25 days prior to the next regularly scheduled Central Committee meeting in which the resolution is to be discussed and voted on. Passage of a resolution takes a simple majority of PCPs present at a Central Committee meeting. Resolutions submitted with less than 25 days’ notice require a 2/3rds majority of PCPs present. No resolution is valid which has not first been submitted to the PRC Chair and JCDP Chair. The PRC is also responsible for the JCDP Platform Convention.
