George Mervosh Posted August 15, 2011 at 05:46 PM Report Share Posted August 15, 2011 at 05:46 PM Are nominations for board positions debateable? Can the chair rule that they are not?Yes, they are debatable. RONR, tinted page 18, motion 49If he rules they're not, appeal the ruling.....it's clear they are.

jstackpo Posted August 15, 2011 at 06:00 PM Report Share Posted August 15, 2011 at 06:00 PM One hopes that RONR/11 will make it clear in the text, not just in the (slightly obscure) "tinted pages", that nominations and elections are clearly debatable.

jstackpo Posted August 15, 2011 at 07:53 PM Report Share Posted August 15, 2011 at 07:53 PM I couldn't find any straightforward "Noms. are debatable" statement anywhere in XIV (Sec. 46).Near as I can tell, the tinted pages are (is) the only source for "Nominations are debatable" anywhere in the book. Debatability is implied, but not stated, by the initial lines on p. 416. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Debatability is implied, but not stated, by the initial lines on p. 416.You're right there is no direct statement. Combine p. 416 with p. 156 "When a blank exists or has been created, any number of members can suggest, without a second, a different name, place, number, date, or amount for filling it. No member can suggest more than one proposal for filling the blank unless he receives unanimous consent to do so. Each proposal is debatable and is treated as an independent original to be voted on separately until one is approved by a majority." Is it tidy? Maybe not, but it's there.

jstackpo Posted August 15, 2011 at 09:30 PM Report Share Posted August 15, 2011 at 09:30 PM True... but that (correct) description of filling a blank doesn't really match the way an election by ballot is run. The "nominations are like filling a blank" analogy doesn't hold up very well. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
