You could, but your resignation would likely have to be approved at a meeting.

IMO, a member could raise a point of order on the ground that there is some problem with the meeting, e.g. the meeting was not properly called.

If you are interested, would suggest that you read "Surviving Doomsday: Emergency Bylaw Provisions" Parliamentary Journal, October, 2003. I have no doubt that RONR will survive the expected apocalypse.

As do some bylaws.

I will, p. 268, 2. Notion of a motion does not bring that motion before the assembly.

It might be more like a board or committee meeting.

It sounds like the added new words to a particular section, which is permissible. The original text remains but new wording is added. There is a motion that can be made to permit re-numbering.

"Hearing no objection, the motion is adopted?"

A link to it is here: http://www.aipparl.org/pdf/ShiftMeetings.pdf One point that should be clear, the society has to re-write its bylaws (or have written them exceptionally well in the first place) to eliminate most of the problems relating to this. This is not easy.

Don't all those have to be determined within a meeting?

Would it make a difference?

I though I changed that to society.

Something like: "The rules contained in the current edition of Robert’s Rules of Order Newly Revised shall govern the proceedings of this society in all cases to which they are applicable and in which they are not inconsistent with these bylaws and any special rules of order the Unit may adopt." This can either be placed in the bylaws or adopted as a rule of order.

Hola. Esta no es una pregunta verdaderamente procesal. Podrías llamar a la policía. Podrías hablar con el pastor. Si la esposa es miembro de la iglesia, puede comenzar una acción disciplinaria contra ella. (Perdone cualquier error en la sintaxis. Estoy usando un programa de traducción). :)

The members can vote, no matter if they attended or not. The correct procedure is for the chair to ask for corrections to the minutes. If there are none, the chair declares the minutes approved.

I am convinced that it would not be case in some circumstances, e.g. a board removing a member of the assembly without bylaw authorization permitting the board to do it.

It would depend on what your bylaws say about the Board.

The minutes could certainly be corrected prior to approval.

I would say that it should be recorded, even if "roll call" was the only way to do it. Certainly they could use unanimous consent and it would be technically possible to have a voice vote. That said, It would be far better to have this clarified by a special rule.

I would add that, should you refuse to carry out the proper policies, you may be subject, properly to disciplinary action. You might wish to check out the article "Follow, Fight, or Flee," National Parliamentarian, 4thQuarter, 2013

The majority decided this issue. While this will sound harsh, on a personal basis, you can either go along with this decision or resign. It might be possible for the board to rescind the action.

Presumably the qualifications for office are placed in the bylaws. Additional qualifications placed in some lesser rule would fall under the citation you have cited.

I agree with my colleagues and will add a point following Mr. Merritt's comments. Nominations are debatable, so you could state the candidate had resigned and that you do not think, for that reason, he shoud be elected.

How about "Because?" (Personally, I like the formality of "Whereas," if there is going to be a preamble.)
