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.
