Amna, instead of adding to an old thread, please post as a new topic.

Generally, a defeated motion could be renewed at the next meeting.

RONR does not give anyone the power to veto. Since your council has rules which supersede those in RONR, I think the answer to your questions would have to be found in those rules.

How did the standing committee get its members? Who elected those members?

So the board adopted a motion to dissolve the special committee? Were new members elected?

What was the announced result of the vote? Was the motion adopted or defeated?

Do your bylaws give the board the power to dissolve these committees? Who elected them originally?

Are you asking about the executive committee? What do your bylaws say about the committee? How are members elected to it?

No, it cannot be divided (see RONR 11th ed., p. 272).

Could someone supply a page reference for option (ii), please.  I'm not arguing the rule doesn't exist, I just can't find it  --  no hint of it in the index under "notice".  Thanks

See RONR 11th ed., p. 264, ll. 2-5.

What is this motion? Why does it require previous notice?

In RONR, a member has the right to abstain.

Your post was successful.

It's up to the member to decide to abstain.

- the board has all the evidence we need to show him being completely responsible for the above actions and he admits to such in writing. I am hoping he, as an individual, can be held legally liable in case our club is sued.

An attorney should be consulted on legal questions.

-the nominating committee chose it's slate of candidates per the bylaws and to the letter. Will that slate stand or will the club now have to start over completely?

Why can't the correct ballots be sent to all members?

Our past parliamentarian insisted that according to RONR we must read them twice.  I can find nothing in RONR stating that it must be done.

See RONR 11th ed., p. 299, ll. 4-8.

Is there anything that can be done in this situation?

Replace the board members with ones who will attend the meetings.

Could his spot be appointed outside of session by the Board President due to his removal?

Only if your rules allow that.

Because his resignation was tendered to the Election Officer, does that change anything?

Is the Election Officer involved with accepting a resignation?

If the member had been forcibly removed from his position, would it still need to be accepted by the board?

No.

What body is meeting? Was the committee making a report?

Only members have the right to attend meetings. Others may be allowed to attend by the body that is meeting.

1.There is no rule as to voting at the spring meeting.

Then what is meant by this?

No votes are held at the spring meeting.

The answers to these questions would have to be found in your bylaws. Do your rules prohibit voting at the spring meeting? What powers do your bylaws give the president?
