At our executive board meeting, we had a motion to send a number of people to a convention. A member of the eboard made a "motion to amend" to include one more person. The amendment failed, but the original number passed. During the general membership meeting when the eboard minutes were read, no one questioned, or otherwise took issue with the motion (or any other motion) and the eboard minutes were voted on and accepted by the membership. During the new business part of the general membership meeting, a member tried to make a motion to add the same person to the convention that was previously amended in the eboard meeting and had failed. The chair ruled the motion out of order because it was already addressed and the membership had accepted the eboards decision. My questions: I've been trying to look for answers and the closet thing I can find is a "motion to reconsider". Since the members bringing this up were not in the eboard meeting, from what I've read they can not use "reconsider". So the question becomes once the membership accepts the eboards minutes and motions made there in, can the defeated motion (or any defeated or approved motion) ever be brought up again? Can someone keep bringing it up at every monthly meeting?
