report to the 2010 convention of our Synod. We and the members of our commissions wish
you well in this significant endeavor.
We assume that our commissions will have a role to play as your task force prepares its
proposals for convention consideration, proposals that we also assume will include
substantial changes to the Constitution and Bylaws of our Synod. We therefore wish to offer
our assistance to the task force in the areas of our responsibilities as defined by Bylaws
3.9.2ff (especially 3.9.2.2.1) and 3.9.5ff (especially 3.9.5.2).
Please inform us of your plans for preparation of convention proposals and your progress in
readying those materials, so that we may be prepared to be of greatest assistance. We assure
you of our full cooperation in helping to ensure the success of your endeavors. Thank you for
your cooperation.
83. North Dakota District Convention Action (09-2449)
The commission discussed e-mail communications from the President of the Synod regarding actions
proposed to the North Dakota District convention that may have included amendments to the district’s
Bylaws. Because the commission did not have opportunity to review any bylaw changes that may have
been proposed, the secretary of the commission was asked to obtain any such convention actions for the
commission’s review at its next meeting.

84. Adjournment
Available time for the meeting having been expended, the meeting was adjourned with prayer. The
commission will next meet April 3–4, 2009, in St. Louis.

Raymond L. Hartwig, Secretary
