Question regarding committees: "It is the duty of the chairman to call the committee together,but, if he is absent, or neglects or declines to call a meeting of the committee, it is the duty of the committee to meet on the call of any two of it's members." I am assuming this is not wrong and still is an acceptable recourse if the chairman does not call a meeting. A four person committee was assembled from the general membership in November to study the club constitution for errors and grammatical mistakes. No meeting was called so 3 committee members decided to press forward in order to get the work done before it was time for the membership to consider any constitutional amendments in March. The chairman finally called a meeting late in January on short notice which 2 of the members could not attend. Second part of this question is related to the chairman. According to the executive in charge, this person has been the chairman of the constitution committee since 2012. It is my understanding that per the Rules, if there is a change in the executive body, which we have had yearly elections, any committee chairman positions are dissolved.
