Add a new ¶ after ¶ 2406:

All general agencies, boards, commissions, councils, and organizations having an office(s) will move their office(s) at least once every ten years to a different geographical jurisdiction until that office(s) has been in every jurisdiction.

For efficiency and economy, these moves are to be coordinated by the Office Location Committee, composed of:

1. Chairperson of the Council of Bishops (1),

2. Each jurisdiction's chairperson and executive secretary (10), and

3. Each organization's board chairperson and executive secretary.

The Office Location Committee will meet during each General Conference and before adjournment will provide a schedule of when which organizations will move to which jurisdictions during the next four years.

Arrangements for specific office space, communications, transportation, moving expenses, housing, etc. are to be negotiated by each organization and its receiving jurisdiction before the date scheduled by the Office Location Committee.
