The Council on Foreign Relations is dedicated to increasing America’s understanding of the world andcontributing ideas to U.S. foreign policy. The Council accomplishes this mainly by promotingconstructive debates and discussions, clarifying world issues, and publishing
Foreign Affairs,
the leading journal on global issues. The Council is host to the widest possible range of views, but an advocate of none, though its research fellows and Independent Task Forces do take policy positions.THE COUNCIL TAKES NO INSTITUTIONAL POSITION ON POLICY ISSUES AND HAS NOAFFILIATION WITH THE U.S. GOVERNMENT. ALL STATEMENTS OF FACT ANDEXPRESSIONS OF OPINION CONTAINED IN ALL ITS PUBLICATIONS ARE THE SOLERESPONSIBILITY OF THE AUTHOR OR AUTHORS.The Council will sponsor an Independent Task Force when (1) an issue of current and critical importanceto U.S. foreign policy arises, and (2) it seems that a group diverse in backgrounds and perspectives may,nonetheless, be able to reach a meaningful consensus on a policy through private and nonpartisandeliberations. Typically, a Task Force meets between two and five times over a brief period to ensure therelevance of its work.Upon reaching a conclusion, a Task Force issues a report, and the Council publishes its text and posts iton the Council website. Task Force reports can take three forms: (1) a strong and meaningful policyconsensus, with Task Force members endorsing the general policy thrust and judgments reached by thegroup, 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 Forcemembers who agree with the Chairman’s Report may associate themselves with it, while those whodisagree may submit dissenting statements. Upon reaching a conclusion, a Task Force may also ask individuals who were not members of the Task Force to associate themselves with the Task Force reportto 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 solelyresponsible for its report. The Council takes no institutional position.For further information about the Council or this Task Force, please write the Council on ForeignRelations, 58 East 68th Street, New York, NY 10021, or call the Director of Communications at (212)434-9400.
