Perhaps p. 501, ll. 12-13 may help.

See RONR 11th ed., p. 3.

Where is the ambiguity?

What is your question?

First, your rules for calling special meetings would have to be followed.

Thank you for confirming my instincts, Richard.  Can you advise where this info is to be found in Rogers?

Hi,

When should the motion to suspend the rules be included in the minutes?  Thanks in advance. 

What was suspended?

2 hours ago, Guest New director said:

Our Bylaws state that after three unexcused absences a Director can be removed from the Board.  Three years ago this happened and now the person wants to be a candidate in our upcoming election. Is the person eligible?   

Anyone who meets the eligibility requirements for office according to your bylaws can be elected.

Removing officers (see FAQ #20).

That is up to your organization to decide.

The board has such powers that the bylaws provide.

Perhaps an amendment to the policy was adopted.

The counts should be announced and recorded in the minutes.

Perhaps a draft?

RONR does not address "C-Suite". Your organization could have its own customs on the matter.

What do your rules say regarding "official requests"?

Raise a point of order at the next meeting.

FAQ #6 may be of use.

Duplicate post

See FAQ #1.

The board only has such powers that the bylaws provide.

A montion was made to approve an application. We were told a motion to approve was required in order to have discussion on the application. A motion to deny could not be made first.

The motion to approve the application failed.  This board considers the failed motion a denial of the application. 

We are bound by PA 110 of 2006, PA 33 of 2008,  and our Zoning Ordinance. 

Thoughts??

I have a different question related to temporary by law changes. My organization for the past two years has by membership vote approved a temporary bylaw change to not charge members of the military the standard initiation fee when joining as a new member. This year, the membership once again accepted a motion, and unanimously approved the temporary bylaw change to waive the initiation fee for veterans. At the following months meeting, the organization president declared that according to Roberts rules, no temporary change to the bylaws can be made three consecutive years and nullified the vote and temporary bylaw change approved by the membership. Can anyone tell me if this is legitimate?

Thanks!

The bylaws could be amended to address your question.
