To expedite business, North Georgia Standing Rule C.7 provides for a Consent Agenda: routine or non-controversial reports are bundled and adopted without verbal action by the conference, and included in the Conference Journal.
In the 2026 handbook, every report marked with an asterisk (*) is on the Consent Agenda. It is presented Thursday in the opening session, and on Friday members may request removal of any item.
- Read the starred reports carefully beforehand. Unless an item is removed, all of them are accepted and approved by consent.
- Pulling an item out is ordinary and expected — a removed report is simply scheduled for the floor as time permits, where it becomes a normal, debatable item.
Consent-agenda procedures are published in advance, consistent with the Book of Discipline (¶¶603–604).
