It should be made the chief task of the All-Russia Conference[2] in May to prepare and collect material on the question of
1) closer contact between the Party organisations and the non-Party masses.
2) drawing non-Party employees into the work more widely and systematically.
3) reorganising the Workers’ and Peasants’ Inspection for combating bureaucratism and red tape, improving the condition of the workers and peasants and drawing non-Party people into Soviet work.
On all these points the conference should not only collect and study all the material of practical experience, but work out practical proposals for the C.C.
Reports at the plenary meeting:
(α) 2-3 reports on the present (actual) work of the C.C. and the Party
(β) ditto on the plan of its reorganisation to meet the new tasks.

On May 28, 1921, the conference approved the C.C.’a plan of work (see The C.P.S. U. in the Resolutions and Decisions of Its Congresses, Conferences and Plenary Meetings of the Central Committee, Part I, 1954, pp. 576-77)
