A working paper is a carefully-drafted single sentence asking the assembly to express an opinion, affirm a policy, or take an action. It is a formal proposal made to the assembly by a delegate or group of delegates. It consists of both preambulatory and operative clauses. A submitter of the Working Paper must be prepared to explain and defend the views expressed and the action requested in the Working Paper. It is not appropriate or sufficient to ask delegates to vote “yes” because “this is a good Working Paper and it should be passed.”
