  Dear President Rawlings,
  
  I would like to convey Resolution 55: Updating the Special Rules to you.
  
  This resolution is sponsored by Jordan Berger and Matthew Stefanko. This resolution updates the Special Rules.
  
  The major changes are as follows:
  In order to streamline the general body meetings, a resolution is considered Old Business if it has previously been discussed or a formal presentation has been given during a regular meeting of the Assembly
  The validity of a proxy vote will be determined by the majority of members present
  Not all additional appointments have to be determined by a majority vote of the Student Assembly representatives. Often this causes too many executive sessions consumed by voting for positions
  The President, EVP, and IOPS are empowered to make liaison appointments if deemed appropriate by the chair of the committee
  The Bylaws detail Ad-Hoc committee creation and procedure
  Thank you for the time and consideration.
  
  Kind regards,
  Juliana
