The CFR is an independant non-governmental policy discussion group. They created a seperatre panel to consider the borders and other topics. The report is that panels recommendations and conclusions.

Does this mean that it will be harder to dodge the draft by going to Canada if the US government were to use it?

I suppose you could say Bohemian grove and Bilderburg are "independent non-governmental policy discussion group"(s) but this would not sit well with a lot of ATS members I don't think.
The Federal Reserve is also an independent non-governmental banking group but look at their power.
based on some excerpts from the outline.
so draft dodging to Canada might vanish

The full context of that graphic is that their publication, Foreign Affairs, is 'rated' #1 in 'influence' by, well, I guess, people who'd know. *shrugs* But the point is that the CFR's fiat isn't law.
