A compromise might work. The COGOP mails/emails out the business documents three months before the assembly to the local churches. The local church can (some don't) distribute the documents to the members for review. An local church Expression Form is voted on (something like Yes, No, Submit, Abstain) on each item. By mail or email the expression forms are returned to the International Offices (including local church number, Pastor's and Treasurer's Name). This is don't globally.The forms are tallied and the results are presented during the business session of the assembly. However, they are not binding, but informative. Since the COGOP does not uses a bicameral system, the vote on the assembly floor is the binding vote. Sometimes, due to input some of the items are amended/changed/dropped before they are presented to the assembly.As a note, the COGOP vote includes both ministers and members in good standing, men and women alike.
