	Creating and maintaining a set of position statements helps ~~EBC~~ develop consensus on issues directly relevant to the cycling community. It gives clarity and transparency to our vision of cycling in Edmonton, and is a starting point for discussion and evolution of that vision. It helps us deliver a message to policy-makers and to the public that is clear, considered, and consistent among official spokespersons and over time.

	A position statement should include a description of the position, a brief rationale, and may include links to a white paper or to selected external resources. Position statements should be drafted in an accessible, positive way understandable to those not yet familiar with the issue. A position statement should fall within ~~EBC’s~~ mandate as articulated in our vision for cycling in Edmonton, and should address issues we wish to actively advocate on or issues to which we will require a response. Position statements should reflect ~~EBC’s~~ tradition of non-partisanship. All position statements, taken together, should reflect a coherent message.
