wobby2 Posted February 14, 2016 at 06:41 PM Report Share Posted February 14, 2016 at 06:41 PM What would be the best way to give notice by mail for the special order for a meeting? example; nominations and elections for delegates to the national convention which we want to spend as much time of the meeting to complete this task before beginning on regular business.

Hieu H. Huynh Posted February 14, 2016 at 06:54 PM Report Share Posted February 14, 2016 at 06:54 PM It seems to me that the notice could say that nominations and elections for delegates to the national convention will be considered at the meeting.

wobby2 Posted February 14, 2016 at 08:35 PM Author Report Share Posted February 14, 2016 at 08:35 PM Hieu H. Huynh: How would saying that in the mail ensure that this was considered the special order for this meeting, so that it would be the first thing considered after the minutes and only this until it is resolved, then move on to the other regular order of business?

Dan Honemann Posted February 14, 2016 at 08:45 PM Report Share Posted February 14, 2016 at 08:45 PM Are you referring to notice of a special meeting or a regular meeting? If it's a special meeting, only business mentioned in the call of the meeting can be considered at the meeting. If it's a regular meeting, there is no way to make anything a special order for the meeting simply by saying something about it in the call of the meeting.

Hieu H. Huynh Posted February 14, 2016 at 08:46 PM Report Share Posted February 14, 2016 at 08:46 PM The assembly would have to adopt a motion that makes it the special order for the meeting. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
wobby2 Posted February 14, 2016 at 09:11 PM Author Report Share Posted February 14, 2016 at 09:11 PM It is for a regular meeting and motion for making the nominations and elections for delegates the special order for the meeting was adopted by a 2/3rds vote. This was not a motion to make it a special order of business but rather "the special order for a meeting". Question: How would you write that so as to inform the membership as a whole so that they might attend and take part in the nominations and elections. Which the delegates will be made up of the membership. Thanks. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

However you want. RONR doesn't require notice for regular elections or for the special order of a meeting. If your society wishes to provide such notice in order to get more members to attend, that's great, but RONR doesn't require that such notice be written in any particular way.
