The only question resides with the effect of passing such position
statements. Without modifying foundation documents or the
constitution, they are effectively non-binding advisory statements
when operating within areas that are the remit of foundation documents
or the constitution.
Developers can ignore (or follow) such statements as they wish.
Furthermore, the statements must be non-technical.
