Okay. In that event, the board is also the body which has the power to accept the resignation.

Also... why is this question being asked anyway? Is it because there is simply a lag in time until the board can meet and accept the resignations? Or is the board actually considering refusing to accept the resignations? If so, why?

Board is divded and just curious to know what is the next step if they donot accept. Thanks Josh.

So you need to check your bylaws to see what are the powers of your board to determine whether your board is empowered to accept the resignation and fill the resulting vacancy or whether you need to wait for a general meeting.

Thanks Atul. Yes our board is empowered to accept resignatons and fill the vacancies

Sorry typo our bylaws does not say

In our 16 members  of baord of trustess 6 trustees resigned. Our bylaws does say anything about resignations how to accept or not. My questions is if the board is not accpeting the resignations what will happen? Do they continue? if so how long? Thanks in advance

Thanks George!

Ours is a not for profit organization. We have 16 memebrs in our board. I wonder how many minutes each member can talk on each item and who decides the total duration of the meeting? would you please  share the relevent pages in RR on this subject.

Thanks In advance

Thanks again Josh

Thanks Josh, Also  is it wrong to ask the secretary to add an agenda item 7days  in advance? He is making an issue about it asking in advance

Ours is a not for profit organization. Our  board contains 16 trustees.  There is nothing mentioned in our bylaws  about when do one can add an agenda item for the monthly  board meetings. I wonder what is the general rule or procedure for adding an agenda item and how many days in advance we can do that. Thanks in advance

Thanks J.J.

I wonder what is the status of restricted funds once the project is completed ? are they still restricted even after the project is completed?  Thanks in advance.

Thanks a lot Mr. Atul Kapur

Our bylaws does not say anything  about  time limit on discussion on a motion. If we want to limit  discussion  on each agenda item  what is the  procedure? On which pages of  R R XI edition I can find more information? Thanks in advance

Thanks a lot Bruce  for more information.

Thanks Gary 

Our not for profit organization has the following provisions :

1. The Chairperson of CPP ( Council of Past Presidents) shall be an ex‐officio member of the Board of Trustees and Executive Committee without voting privileges.

2. The Chairperson of the Council shall present a report to the General Body at its annual meeting or duly called special meeting.

My question is whether CPP chair participate in the discussions and give advises on bylaws and constitution issues even though he is an ex officio member?

Thanks Mr Atul Kapur.

Our not for profit organization recently passed a resolution in the board to reopen the temple on May 11th 2020  for public after our Illinois Governor relaxed lock down conditions  . Here is the wording of resolution " to open the temple to devotees for a minimum of 4  four hours starting May 11, 2020 without violating the Governor’s guidelines."  But our president sent a note to all trustees the temple opening is delayed and the temple was not opened for public on May 11th.  My question is  to open temple on a different date do we need a new resolution? Thanks in Advance

Jayadev

Thanks Richard and Josh for more details.

Thank you Joshua, our board consists 16 members I hope it does not come under small board. Also please refer  page numbers of RR 11th edition if possible. Thanks  

 I wonder is it appropriate for chair to start a discussion and asking each member of assembly to express their opinion with out a motion? Thanks in advance,

Regards

Jay

Thanks for your response 

In our not for profit organization bylaws it says we have to put aside 10% total cash receipts towards Trust fund. But during this lock down we do not have enough funds to put 10%  how do we suspend this rule? Thanks in advance

Our rules does not say about electronic meetings, but it does say trustees can attend meetings through phone, and also  president can take approval of all trustees through emails if there is an urgent matter but does not say about a meeting where all trustees are on the phone and how to recognize any one who wants to be recognized
