INDEPENDENT TASK FORCE REPORTS
Upon reaching a conclusion, a Task Force
issues a Report, and the Council publishes its text and posts
it on the Council website. Task Force Reports can take three
forms: (1) a strong and meaningful policy consensus, with Task
Force members endorsing the general policy thrust and judgments
reached by the group, though not necessarily every finding and
recommendation; (2) a Report stating the various policy positions,
each as sharply and fairly as possible; or (3) a "Chairman's
Report," where Task Force members who agree with the Chairman's
Report may associate themselves with it, while those who disagree
may submit dissenting statements. Upon reaching a conclusion,
Task Forces may also ask individuals who were not members of
the Task Force to associate themselves with the Task Force Report
to enhance its impact. All Task Force Reports "benchmark"
their findings against current administration policy in order
to make explicit areas of agreement and disagreement. The Task
Force is solely responsible for its Report. The Council takes
no institutional position.
