Chuck, I'd to like propose a friendly amendment to your motion. I've incorporated it into the full motion below. The amendment involves adding the last Whereas and replacing the RESOLVED paragraph with the one included below. It incorporates the steps Liz noted, making it clear that the requirements/specifications of requesting support are yet to be determined.
