JohnR's Achievements

  1. Oxymoron much? That which is published is, by definition, not private. And proscribed in the case of unpermitted intellectual property, v.s.
  2. It is telling that Robert says "officers" and not "offices." While, as has been wisely expressed, there is no explicit rule against the same person presiding and performing as secretary, it is obviously against the spirit of the rules.

    pro-tem

    Robert provides only that the Vice President presides in place of the President when the latter is indisposed. And it is a temporary arrangement, as the Latin implies. Any other rules of succession must be specified in your bylaws.
  4. Having slogged through the ever-entertaining debate on this question, I am left with a question of my own. Are these standing committees? Or do they reconstitute with each session of the governing body?

  6. I tend to agree. "Less than a quorum" includes quantity one.
  7. Robert does not require the board to consider any issues which are not brought forth by a member of the board.
  8. No, you don't. Your bylaws don't provide for any such office and what you are doing is a continuing breach. When some disenchanted member calls you on it, your "interim President" may find herself personally responsible for everything she has undertaken without the proper authorization of your organization.
  9. What's not clear is whether you wish to prohibit all screen recording, or only screen recording which is subsequently posted on nonmember forums. In either case, I agree that the paramount concern is perfect clarity of the amendment, not its tact. Eliminating confusion is the greater kindness you can pay to the members.
  10. There is a fundamental difference between minutes and reports. The former is a record of the proceedings of a deliberative assembly, particularly with regard to its decisions and actions. A committee report is responsive to a charge, and while it may recommend action, it generally does not report them except perhaps in cases where the committee was so empowered.
  11. It is also possible that this talk of "eligibility" and "open[ness]" pertains to running for office and that the amendment was not intended to pull the chair out from under sitting trustees. If there is controversy, the way to handle it is to raise a point of order. The council ultimately decides what its bylaws mean.
  12. Is there a vote or unanimous consent to the request? A motion and second alone do not a decision make.

    Censure

    Only your organization can interpret its bylaws, and you appear to have answered your own question to your complete satisfaction.
