AGTSP
  The first GBC proposal is that anyone that serves in ISKCON can submit a GBC proposal, this idea that only GBC members can submit
GBC proposals is fascistic and narrow minded and emperialistic.And really is against the ideas of Srila Prabhupada.In the court of Lord Ramachandra everyone was  welcome...to propose and complaint....and glorify
Second GBC proposal is that all members in ISKCON must chant  the very minimum 16 rounds and follow 4 regulative principle and attend all morning and evening program, ........proposal, as it is not going on to the extend it should, also GBC members should do so, they are not beyond this
Third proposal, is that all ISKCON devotees should distribute Srila Prabhupadas books and do Harinama as much as possible not only once a year. 
Best on daily basis all GBC,TP,s and sannyasis should also do this 
Fourth is that all initiated devotees should read Srila Prabhupadas books at least one to 2 hours daily
Fifth proposal is not taking grains on any Visnutattva apperance days
Sixth no Gas fracking in New Vrindavana, no bingo hall in ISKCON Brooklyn, no weddings of non devotees at ISKCON temples.
Seventh is no fighting in ISKCON and no politics allowed.....
Eight is prasadam to all especially to the poor and needy, despite the protests of  certain ignorant persons.
9th Is that no one that is a  divorcee should give lectures, or be a temple president or GBC, no persons that have fallen from sannyasa can remain 
in the sannyasa asrama.... 
Srila Prabhupada  and Lord Caitanya is the center of ISKCON and everyone should please daily listen to his lectures, Jaya Srila Prabhupada
your servant

Bhaktivedanta VedaBase: Śrīmad Bhāgavatam 10.2.19
sā devakī sarva-jagan-nivāsa-
nivāsa-bhūtā nitarāḿ na reje
bhojendra-gehe 'gni-śikheva ruddhā
sarasvatī jñāna-khale yathā satī
SYNONYMS
sā devakī — that Devakīdevī; sarva-jagat-nivāsa — of the Supreme Personality of Godhead, the sustainer of all the universes (mat-sthāni sarva-bhūtāni); nivāsa-bhūtā — the womb of Devakī has now become the residence; nitarām — extensively; na — not; reje — became illuminated; bhojendra-gehe — within the limits of the house of Kaḿsa; agni-śikhā iva — like the flames of a fire; ruddhā — covered; sarasvatī — knowledge; jñāna-khale — in a person known as jñāna-khala, one who possesses knowledge but cannot distribute it; yathā — or just as; satī — so being.
TRANSLATION
Devakī then kept within herself the Supreme Personality of Godhead, the cause of all causes, the foundation of the entire cosmos, but because she was under arrest in the house of Kaḿsa, she was like the flames of a fire covered by the walls of a pot, or like a person who has knowledge but cannot distribute it to the world for the benefit of human society.
PURPORT
In this verse the word jñāna-khala is most significant. Knowledge is meant for distribution. Although there is already much scientific knowledge, whenever scientists or philosophers awaken to a particular type of knowledge, they try to distribute it throughout the world, for otherwise the knowledge gradually dries up and no one benefits from it. India has the knowledge of Bhagavad-gītā, but unfortunately, for some reason or other, this sublime knowledge of the science of God was not distributed throughout the world, although it is meant for all of human society. Therefore Kṛṣṇa Himself appeared as Śrī Caitanya Mahāprabhu and ordered all Indians to take up the cause of distributing the knowledge of Bhagavad-gītā throughout the entire world.
yāre dekha, tāre kaha 'kṛṣṇa'-upadeśa
āmāra ājñāya guru hañā tāra' ei deśa
"Instruct everyone to follow the orders of Lord Śrī Kṛṣṇa as they are given in Bhagavad-gītā and Śrīmad-Bhāgavatam. In this way become a spiritual master and try to liberate everyone in this land." (Cc. Madhya 7.128) Although India has the sublime knowledge of Bhagavad-gītā, Indians have not done their proper duty of distributing it. Now, therefore, the Kṛṣṇa consciousness movement has been set up to distribute this knowledge as it is, without distortion. Although previously there were attempts to distribute the knowledge of Bhagavad-gītā, these attempts involved distortion and compromise with mundane knowledge. But now the Kṛṣṇa consciousness movement, without mundane compromises, is distributing Bhagavad-gītā as it is, and people are deriving the benefits of awakening to Kṛṣṇa consciousness and becoming devotees of Lord Kṛṣṇa. Therefore the proper distribution of knowledge has begun by which not only will the whole world benefit, but India's glory will be magnified in human society. Kaḿsa tried to arrest Kṛṣṇa consciousness within his house (bhojendra-gehe), with the result that Kaḿsa, with all his opulences, was later vanquished. Similarly, the real knowledge of Bhagavad-gītā was being choked by unscrupulous Indian leaders, with the result that India's
