rhammar's Achievements

  1. An organization holds monthly meetings. Its bylaws provide that three months before the June meeting the board shall appoint a nominating committee that shall present nominees to the organization’s members during its May meeting. At the organization’s May meeting, the two nominees of the nominations committee were announced, and other persons were nominated from the floor. Before the end of this meeting the chair declared nominations closed. A question has arisen over the status of the committee’s two nominees. Neither had “accepted” their nomination prior to the close of nominations during the May meeting. Some are contending that their failure to “accept” their nominations prior to the close of nominations precludes them from being considered as nominees, except of course if nominated from the floor during the June meeting. RONR page 434 ll. 1-5 states that it is “desirable” for the nominating committee to obtain the acceptance of nomination for each person it wishes to nominate. This was not done in the case of the two nominees.
