  1. We had the same question at one point. I found the answer in the FAQ part of this website. To quote: "A resignation is a Request to Be Excused from a Duty. It may be withdrawn in the same manner as any motion may be withdrawn -- that is to say, before the proposed resignation has been placed before the assembly by the chair stating the question on its acceptance, it may be withdrawn without the consent of the assembly, but it may not be withdrawn without permission of the assembly once it has been placed before the assembly for its approval. [RONR (11th ed.), pp. 289-92; 295-97.]" This satisfied our query as the question had not been placed before the assembly because we had not yet had our next meeting. Therefore the Board Member still "owned" the motion. The member remained a Board Member based on his withdrawal of the resignation. Another thing that was considered is our statute does not allow for "electronic" meeting with the exception of phone or video conference calls. Since email is not an approved "electronic" meeting (deliberative assembly), the Chair could not officially put the question to the BOD until the next meeting.
