“”So the CFR just basically sits around and debates, with nothing ever changing, with no power, or influence to change anything in regards to law, politics, government policies etc?
Pretty much
Is that a yes or no?””
They occasionally have some influence, depending on the quality of the reports they put out, and the willingness of people in positions of real authority to heed what they say. Let’s say they are a provider of advice, you can either take that advice, or not take it, it’s up to you.
As far as any real, legal, authority in terms of law or any kind of binding actions. Nope. They don’t. Some members might be in positions of power that DO have influence, so in theory they could be swayed by a position paper or some such, but the CFR is not the “Decider”
OK, so this is getting interesting now.
Back in a while. I promise I'll respond back.
Thanks.

So it's up to people like me to decide if they have government policy influence or should be an advisor on government policy, even if I'm not a member?
