DrEntropy Posted October 20, 2011 at 11:44 PM Report Share Posted October 20, 2011 at 11:44 PM During a regular meeting, an adjourned meeting is made for the next day. A member then gives notice (at the first meeting) to rescind a previously adopted motion at the adjourned meeting. Question: what vote is required to rescind? Is this a proper 'previous notice' ? Or should previous notice really be made at the previous 'session', and this use of the word (RONR 11th page 306 l. 28) 'meeting' is in the sense of pg. 94 l. 5-10. ?

I'm not thrilled with that answer, but I believe it complies with RONR. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DrEntropy Posted October 21, 2011 at 12:18 AM Author Report Share Posted October 21, 2011 at 12:18 AM Meeting in RONR (11th ed.), p. 121, l. 30, means what is defined in RONR (11th ed.), p. 81, l. 16, through p. 82, l. 5.That does answer the question . But I was not sure if this was a case where "meeting" meant "session" (as in pg. 94 l. 5-10.) but upon a closer reading this passage only seems to apply to rules adopted by the society and not to RONR itself, and I now see what you meant when you first responded.

DrEntropy Posted October 21, 2011 at 12:19 AM Author Report Share Posted October 21, 2011 at 12:19 AM I'm not thrilled with that answer, but I believe it complies with RONR.I also am not thrilled, especially since there can be a bit of a fine line between a recess and an adjournment.

Burke Balch Posted October 21, 2011 at 01:03 AM Report Share Posted October 21, 2011 at 01:03 AM Compare the slightly different rule for amending certain convention standing rules RONR (11th ed.), p. 620, ll. 25-30:[A] standing rule of a convention . . . individually adoptable by a majority vote [i.e., one in the nature of an "ordinary standing rule," as opposed to a parliamentary standing rule in a convention, see pp. 619-20] can be amended or rescinded by a majority vote after notice on at least the preceding day.

Excellent, I was just starting to look through the section on conventions, thinking that it would be a good place to find rules for a multi-meeting session.
