As delegates to the 2010 General Assembly debate a business resolution about meeting in Arizona in 2012, they have rejected a proposal to return to the original resolution as introduced by the Board of Trustees. Instead, they are keeping the debate focused on the substitute resolution developed in two mini-assemblies over the last two days.

In an overwhelming vote, delegates rejected an amendment to return to the original text. In effect, the question of an outright boycott of Arizona is now off the table.
