R.S.M

I wasn't at the meeting when resignations were brought up, but not sure how it was handled. Maybe they were read and the organization voted. No one made a motion as far as I know to accept, just voted I believe.

Our organizational Bylaws are silent on the subject of resignations. I've read 32:8 in RONR 12th about resignations, But I cannot find anywhere how you handle a resignation. Does it require a motion and second, or does the organization take no action just assume the resignation is accepted because no one objected? Thanks

It just seems that it would tie an organizations hands if you can only discipline for violations stated in Bylaws or policies. If you put all the rules you think is going to be needed in your bylaws they would look like RONR or bigger as far as pages.

Member was charged for misconduct that did not violate any of our Bylaws, We used RONR 12th addition 61:3 where is states at bottom of paragraph starting at the fourth line. Conduct brought embarassment to organization. examples in paragraph doesn't mention that just "Tending to injure good name, Disturb it's well being, Hamper it in it's work". We felt embarassament to the organization could be included in that. Then it states" Wheather the Bylaws make mention of it or not". Our Bylaws makes no mention of charging someone of embarassment but something has to keep us from having our hands tied.

Sorry, I should have started a new question but this conversation kinda was the same as to rescind a motion. Our situation was action already taken on the motion that may need rescinded. Member placed on probation but didn't violate any By-laws.

Punishment was only a 1 year probation.

The attorney stated you can not discipline a member unless the rule being violated is in either the By-laws or a Personell Policy, He may have also meant the rule in Roberts would have to be in the By-Laws or policy. That's what has me confused, because I made mention to the organization and refered them to 61:3 61:22 and 63:2 RONR 12th edition. Im not a parliamentarian by no means, I just understand something the way it's written.

Let's say a motion is made to discipline someone, it is carried out and later found out you could not do it. Do you rescind or just consider it being out of order and it never happened?

Thanks

Thank you for your time.

A member has conducted their self in an embarrassing nature and the bylaws does not cover in detail concerning conduct not involved in a non organization function. Only that if a person is involved in an organizational function. I believe based on this rule 61:22 that there are ground for charges even if the by-laws do not mention it.

I have RONR 12th edition and 63:22 is something else. I found it in 61:22. If the bylaws doesn't give guidance on what to do then you can reference this and bring charges on a member?

Can RONR be used to govern rules outside of meetings in an organization? e.g. 61:3 under discipline of members. This question is for members conduct outside of meetings that are not covered in the by-laws.

What does your organization's By-Laws state about the chairs participation in debate?

Thank you.

Thanks..

Ive found it in the tinted pages but I was wondering if someone could refer me to the page number that discusses it more in depth.

Thanks.

If the rule reads that nominations from the floor are to be taken in November,and the election is in December. can the rule be suspended and reopen nominations in December?

Would this also apply to rules for the conduct of an election that are in the constitution?

👍

I was thinking he said violation of By-Laws. Reference pg 343 under Improper Motions.

Any motion that violates by laws is an improper motion any action taken on an improper motion is null and void.

If a council votes on a resolution fail or pass is it considered disposed of after the chair announces the result of the vote?

Law states. The board shall establish its own rules of procedure. Nothing else provided. Ref TN Code annotated 7-52-110 (d).
