Guest Scott Posted June 7, 2010 at 06:03 PM Report Share Posted June 7, 2010 at 06:03 PM In March our board passed a motion that was made. Now in the upcoming board meeting one of the board members would like to make a motion to rescind that motion. Can they do that? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Now in the upcoming board meeting one of the board members would like to make a motion to rescind that motion. Can they do that?It will depend on what the motion was. The required vote to rescind something previously adopted is 2/3 vote without notice, majority vote with notice, or a majority of the entire membership.However, some motions cannot be rescinded. -Bob Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Now in the upcoming board meeting one of the board members would like to make a motion to rescind that motion. Can they do that?"Can they do that?"Are you seeking an answer to an implied question, like:• Is there such a motion as "Rescind"? (Yes, there is.)• Can a member who was not a member of the "March board meeting" make a motion To Rescind? (Yes, he can.)Q. Why would you think "they' or "he" cannot make a motion to rescind whatever it was which was adopted?Q. Was the March targeted motion something which cannot be rescinded but only un-done via a new motion? (That is possible. Not everything which is adopted is rescind-able. You don't un-paint the barn by rescinding the original motion, "That we paint the barn." A new motion would be necessary to un-do a paint job.)Why do you question that board's act? Or that member's act? - What do you think is irregular? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
