change a passed motion


Guest Will A

Recommended Posts

Yes, by use of the motion to rescind or amend something previously adopted. It requires a majority vote if previous notice is given, but requires a two-thirds Vote or a vote of a majority of the entire membership without previous notice.

Previous notice means notice given in the call of the meeting or given verbally at the previous meeting.

In this case, there were two items in the motion that could create a conflict, and it would be better if both were separate motions.

No, it won't be any better if these are truly conflicting provisions in the motion which has been adopted. Even separately adopted main motions must not conflict with each other.

"Apart from a motion to Rescind or to Amend Something Previously Adopted (35), no main motion is in order that conflicts with a motion previously adopted at any time and still in force." (RONR, 11th ed., p. 111, ll. 23-26)

Perhaps Will doesn't mean that the items in the motions conflict with each other, but instead means that they may create conflict among the members of the organization?
