I have a complete copy of the GBC resolutions from 1996. There is

no mention of the jiva, fall, Vaikuntha, maya, original position,

constitutional position, or any other such term. There was a

resolution on these issues in 1995, and it states very clearly in

the very first sentence: "Vaikuntha is that place from which no one

ever falls down."

Maybe the kind of discussion you seek would be more likely to occur on the

VAST conference. That's where ISKCON scholars discuss various issues

related to academic preaching. This must be an issue that comes up in that

setting.
