In other words, the answer to both questions is "yes". Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tim Wynn Posted June 19, 2010 at 04:07 AM Report Share Posted June 19, 2010 at 04:07 AM must a report from a committee member be pre approved in full by the committee before any report may be presented to the organization's membership ? or may the committee member, in her capacity as an organizational member, express concerns about a committee's activites to the membership where there is doubt that the committee itself can or will address the concerns about the committee's activites?The reporting member reports on behalf of the committee. It's not her own personal report; it's the committee's. Any member of the reporting committee who does not concur with the report can speak against it in the assembly as an individual, however, no one can make allusion as to what went on in the committee. See RONR(10th ed.), p. 510 - 511 for details and exceptions. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
