Dan Honemann Posted October 9, 2015 at 11:23 AM Report Share Posted October 9, 2015 at 11:23 AM If I'm taking the second statement in post 3, which I've been questioning here, too generally, please just say so and that'll be that. For example, if a church's bylaws require a 3/4 vote to hire a pastor, and they do it, and it's later shown that the meeting was inquorate, does p. 103 (a) say that a later motion to ratify the hiring requires a 3/4 vote? I don't see that, do you? No, (a) on page 103 doesn't say so specifically, but "except as explained on pages 103-4" on tinted page 25 is telling you that the rules in SDC 7 on pages 103-4 are applicable to motions to ratify.

Dan Honemann Posted October 9, 2015 at 11:27 AM Report Share Posted October 9, 2015 at 11:27 AM What about justifying it via the rule protecting minorities of a certain size. We're not dealing with a suspension of the rules. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Nancy N.

This is like pullin' teeth, eh? and they're my teeth. If I were to read p. 103, line 25, as, implicitly, "estate, hiring a pastor, etc.;" -- would I be on the right track?

If I was still writing the book, I definitely would insert "hiring a pastor" in there. I don't know how it's taken so long. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sean Hunt Posted October 10, 2015 at 12:40 AM Author Report Share Posted October 10, 2015 at 12:40 AM Can you think of any difference in effect between ratifying the action taken at the quorumless meeting at which the motion creating the special rule of order was adopted and simply adopting another motion creating the same special rule of order? Only relating to the amendment of the motion (and I am going to start a new thread on the matter). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
