I like how this resolution appears to delegate more responsibilities to the Vice President.  That is a job which I think is traditionally given very little direct powers or responsibilities, and I think these new rules signal a desire to change that as well as better facilitate cooperation between the chambers.  And I'm happy to see the new requirement for bills to have a sponsor, so that we don't end up debating zombie legislation or fall into the same holes we did with the abortion bill.

I would like to know how much information this 'Activity Tracker' would include.  Is the Vice President supposed to update it every time a chamber switches from general debate to voting on amendments to final votes and the like?  I can see that being rather tedious when a simple thread title change should suffice.  Apart from that little detail, I have no qualms about this package and I look forward to voting on it.
