I wrote a resolution which is available at
http://web.mit.edu/ua/senate/UAS41/pending/41%20UAS%202.2%20Resolution%20to%20Continue%20Transparency%20and%20Representation%20throughout%20the%20Institute-wide%20Planning%20Process.pdf
For new senators, recall that resolutions are for legislation where the
Senate does not have direct power over seeing it through, but still
strongly believes the proposal put forward should happen.
The piece itself is fairly straightforward, but I did want to clarify a
couple of things now and also make myself available for questions
regarding my resolution before Senate.
Clarification 1: The Project Teams mentioned in the second "that"
statement refers to the Project Teams mentioned in the Institute-wide
Planning Task Force's Preliminary Report. According to that report,
these teams will be formed to investigate the feasibility of
recommendations, and each team will cover an overarching area of work.
Even though Project Teams may seem vague at first glance (if you did not
read that report), it is referring to something very specific.
Clarification 2: The third "that" clause points to MIT senior leadership
because they will ultimately make decisions, whereas the Planning Task
Force Coordinators will be giving forth "final recommendations." These
recommendations will have to be approved by the senior leadership before
being implemented.
Again, if you have any questions, I'd love to answer them.
