Wow you guys are so fast and so thorough. I really appreciate it.
Some answers to questions above:
It depends. How are the committees appointed in the first place? Also, do your bylaws permit email voting? If not, then a motion permitting them is out of order.
Committee chairs are appointed by the president per the bylaws. There is no mention of how committee members are determined.
Bylaws do not allow for email voting, so it seems the motion is out of order. How can we correct this? I'm guessing I should say "I move to amend the motion previously adopted regarding the code of conduct for committee participation. I move to strike out the words, "Such vote may take place via email, at a regular or special Board meeting, or any other medium."
Do the bylaws specify anything about how the decisions gets made? If not, and assuming this is a board meeting, then the board needs to either schedule the next meeting at each meeting, or adopt a pattern as you've done here, so yes.
The motion about the regular meeting day was voted on at a general membership meeting (not at a board meeting).
This is the only piece the bylaws that discusses decisions of the membership, "The Corporation, by majority vote of those resident members in good standing at any regular meeting, may take a position on issues which are of concern to the community or to the county."
Here is the portion on Meetings: "General meetings shall be held in January, March, May, September and November of each year. Members will be given at least ten days notice of each meeting place, time and purpose by the Corresponding Secretary. Special meetings may be called by the President at any time he/she may deem necessary. Any meeting may be cancelled by a majority of the Board of Directors; notice of each such cancellation shall be given to the membership as soon as is practicable after the decision to cancel has been made."
How committees are formed is not defined in the bylaws. The president has been appointing the members. What does Roberts Rules say about how committees are formed?
