  1. You can the motion to Fix Time to Which to Adjourn (p. 242 ff.). This would let the parking lot meeting set a time and place to meet again. A description of the process can be found here, beginning on page 5: https://issuu.com/parliamentarians/docs/np_76_1
  2. I think you are correct, but that has risks.
  3. As for the election, it is possible to hold a regular meeting with a quorum. At that meeting the assembly could, in this order: 1. Suspend the rules to permit only the election to come before the assembly. 2. Set a time for the polls to open and close. 3. Recess and let the voting begin. Stay in recess until it is time for the polls to close. 4. When the voting ends, and the call the meeting back into session, announce the results and adjourn. 3 and 4 can be cone using an adjourned meeting. This will, at least, limit the exposure time.
  4. Unless your bylaws permit it, electronic board meetings are not permitted. Any action taken at would would need to be ratified by an inperson. Likewise, the president cannot postpone a meeting, unless he is granted that authority in the bylaws.
  5. I hate cluttering up the board like this; my apologies Dan. It is attached. It was published in Parliamentary Journal, October 2003. The clauses themselves are quite variable. PJ 17 RW1.doc
  6. This article might help give you a solution, of holding a meeting but arranging for no one to attend. It was published in NP 27.doc, 4th Quarter 2010
  7. I would agree that it is defined or embodies in a stated fundamental principle, but I do agree that it cannot be suspended.
  8. Agreed, the point of order has to be raised when the meeting is called to order, but it may be raised immediately. I would ask the member if he is raising a point of order.
  9. You could, but your resignation would likely have to be approved at a meeting.
  10. 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.
  11. 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.
  12. I will, p. 268, 2. Notion of a motion does not bring that motion before the assembly.
  13. It might be more like a board or committee meeting.
  14. 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.
  15. "Hearing no objection, the motion is adopted?"
  16. 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.
  17. Don't all those have to be determined within a meeting?
  18. 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.
  19. 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). :)
  20. 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.
