I think asking members to help with the minutes may be a good idea.

In any case, it is ultimately up to the organization, not the parliamentarian alone, to interpret its bylaws.

The members could meet in accordance with the rules in your bylaws.

If the bylaws state that a 2/3 vote of Chapter membership present at a meeting is needed to hire as well as to terminate an employee, then that could be done in accordance with the bylaws.

Where does it say this (see FAQ #9)?

No rule in RONR prohibits it.

The policies would be void if they conflict with the current bylaws.

It is up to your organization to decide what to put in its bylaws. If you don't like this change, debate and vote against it.

The president only has such powers that the bylaws provide.

@Richard Brown Did you get a notification from this tag?

It depends on exactly what was approved.

@Stella13 This is how you would tag someone.

Related to the last few comments, perhaps this old thread may be helpful.

A member has the right to make motions (p. 3).

Thus the reading could be dispensed with by unanimous consent. Perhaps "Consideration and adoption of proposed bylaws" starting on p. 557 may be of use.

"When any paper is laid before the assembly for action, it is a right of every member that it be read once; and, if there is any debate or amendment, that it be read again before members are asked to vote on it." RONR 11th ed., p. 299, ll. 4-8.

Yes. See RONR 11th ed., p. 297, ll.27-29 for a possibility.

Get more people to show up.

It could be done by unanimous consent. Any member could demand that it be read.

At least once.

The body that elected members to these positions would fill the vacancies unless your bylaws provide otherwise.

The board only has such powers that the bylaws provide.

It would be more appropriate for the parliamentarian to quietly give advice to the presiding officer during the meeting.

I would simply bring it up at the next meeting. Also see FAQ #12.

No.
