Curious

My question is to impartiality on he part of the nominating committee. Their role is to oversee the process for identifying candidates for office. Should they, especially the chair, endorse a specific candidate? Is that proper?

In my organization the members of the nominating committee are elected by the members. They, in turn, elect their Chairman, who is a member of the Executive Board. During the nomination process, and once the slate of candidates is closed, is it proper for the Chairman, or any other members of the nominating committee, to proactively solicit support for one specific candidate over another? I need advice and cannot find a ruling on this in RRO 12th Edition.

Our bylaws allow the president to appoint a member to serve as Parliamentarian. For the first time (I've been a member for 23 years), the new president appointed two members to serve as co-Parliamentarians. Please advise on the challenges and advantages of this.
