  1. Generally RONR or any other parliamentary authority is used for conducting meetings. Business such as elections and removal of members would occur at meetings. In any case, perhaps the bylaws could be amended to include the recommended language.
  2. Ultimately it is up to your organization to interpret your bylaws. Perhaps the bylaws could be amended to address this issue.

  4. Why couldn't they just get together informally outside of a meeting and talk about it?

    Yes. The vacancies should be filled as soon as possible.

    I have not heard of such a manual. Why is it being used?
  7. See "Duties of the Parliamentarian" in RONR 11th ed, pp. 466-467.
  8. I'm not sure of the facts in this case, although Mr. Martin's interpretation seems reasonable to me. Perhaps Guest Lawrence Boze could clarify exactly what the bylaws say regarding these past presidents.
  9. Someone could be elected or appointed to office if that person meets the eligibility requirements for office according to the bylaws.
  10. Wouldn't the chair have announced that the motion was adopted if he voted in favor of it? What about RONR 11th ed., p. 414, ll. 25-28?
  11. The adopted motion is in effect. The assembly could amend something previously adopted if it hasn't been executed. Or it could discipline the chair for not executing the motion.
  12. Perhaps you could get new board members (see FAQ #20).
  13. No, unless your bylaws allow it.
  14. The assembly could have decided whether to adjourn the meeting. If it wanted to wait for the results, it could have.
  15. Your organization could decide whether the names should be printed.
  16. The assembly controls the meeting. It doesn't have to spend time on these motions if it doesn't want to.
  17. And a candidate has to get a majority vote to be elected (see RONR 11th ed., p. 441).
