2. when proposing to make some new pronouncement or envisaging a new relationship which involves some important question of principle for Britain Yearly Meeting;
3. when considering major appeals or commitments;
4. when it seems desirable to share with Friends the interpretation of some urgent need or of some unusually significant piece of service;
5. when some concern impinges on the work of other committees or aspects of the yearly meeting’s wider work.
