You could be correct if the AFGA has written it directly into their bylaws. It has been my experience though that most organizations do not go into that much detail in there constitution and bylaws and generally observe Roberts Rules of Order. The UN was an example, as was the quote below that (of an Alberta Organizations resolution to Government) of a properly written resolution.
If the AFGA has something different in their bylaws than the majority of other organizations formed under the Alberta Societys Act I would find that interesting.
Resolution Number W-4-2007
BE IT RESOLVES THAT no non-resident alien be allowed to hunt consecutive
years for those species for which resident hunters must apply for draws annually to
gain priority.
This resolution from AFGA appears to be written in the negative. Shouldn't it be worded the opposite and then defeated given the premise previously suggested? Many previous resolutions are in the negative and either passed or defeated in the AFGA minutes.
