the position of their constituencies, at a minimum, and other
comments as each Representative deems appropriate, regarding
the issue under consideration. This position and other
comments,
as applicable, should be submitted in a formal statement to the
task force chair (each, a "Constituency Statement") within
thirty-five
(35) calendar days after initiation of the PDP.
Every Constituency Statement shall include at least the
following:

of the
constituency's position on the issue;
(ii) If a Supermajority Vote was not reached, a clear
statement of
all positions espoused by constituency members;
(iii) A clear statement of how the constituency arrived at
its position(s).
